Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So, DH and I have found a house (online) we both think would be perfect for us in Ypsilanti (I'll be Aimee's neighbor!). It looks like someone was trying to flip it and ran out of money--it has no kitchen. But we like that, as we can decide what kind of kitchen we want, and it's SO CHEAP--$79k. We can use some of the money we get from selling our house to put in a kitchen an still have it be a very economical option. It's this one: [link]

If it's still on the market when we go there at the end of the month...who knows.

I've been working remotely, so it's my first day back in the office in weeks. I managed to get up on time, make coffee, and even meditated this morning.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That looks great, Scrappy!

Good on you, shrift.

OK, I should stop luxuriating in not being late for a deadline and actually do my work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh wow, Scrappy, that is a lot of potential!

A Lyft driver the other day was saying his buddy had done a lot of work on his house before selling it, and the new buyers gutted it anyway. So it feels like you might as well get a place with nothing to start! (Although I like that bathroom a lot.)

Yeah, the bathroom is a definite plus for me.

I love the bathroom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That would be a lovely blank slate, Scrappy.

Hmm, maybe I'll go check some unclaimed money sites. I could use it, for sure.

All right, code submitted and I just signed up for my third course at Stanford. I'm making progress on my inbox. I think this means I can drink tea and play Pokemon for a couple of minutes, right?

Of course!!

Enjoy your tea and Pokémon break.

I *did* have unclaimed money! Over $50 from the last address I lived in NC. So sometime in the next month I should get a check. Woot!
