So should I cancel the Uber account now or wait until the Discover investigation happens? Hmmm.

Thrive to spite them
Mom got brownies from teh local bakery they are so good..rich heavy with vanilla and chocolate flavor, just enough walnuts for some crunch,
Or that's what we were expecting. There was a mix up and they gave us brownies with coffee and chocolate chips.
I hate coffee. So now Mom has two brownies.
I do have homemade vanilla pudding but ..not really chocolatey.

I also had tater tots last night. Must have been some kind of astronomical tot convergence.
Tonight we went out for really good BBQ, but they were out of bourbon bread pudding so I am dessert-less. Alas.
(The kids have had waaaay too much candy this weekend to get dessert tonight, so I said I would order some to go, which instantly generated a chorus of "But it's not FAIR!" to which I responded, nope, it's not, too bad. And then the server told us they were out, and my daughter turns to me, narrows her eyes, and says, flatly, "NOW it's fair." So I guess I've learned my lesson.)

Well, I can certainly see Claudia Black saying that. ::grins::

I had oysters Morgan City and crackers for dinner. Then the fire department band came in with drums and bagpipes, set up on either side of me at the bar, and started blaring away before I could cash out and run.
I support the cause you're raising money for (a pregnancy center), but I would prefer to support it without getting a migraine in return.

Bummer, Jesse. I have no idea about the timing of canceling the account.
I had cheddar cheese, an apple, and white wine for dinner. Very nice, if I do say so myself. If tot-less. But also bagpipe-less.

Mostly I'm glad to have realized where the problem was. And I meant to cancel that Uber account, anyway! So all's well that ends well, I guess.
I really like bagpipes, but maybe not inside.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have met with three realtors and have one more to go. Except for one guy who was EXTREMELY smarmy, they all seem like people we could work with. We are going to be using those pod things, so you can pack up stuff and store it, then move when you want. We are going to get most furniture, all books snd knick-knacks out of the house to make it less personalized. Apparently, some buyers have no visual imagination, so they need some furniture to make it homey, but not a lot, to make to seem roomier. That's our goal by the end of the month, so it's packing time.
Packed six boxes of books today and HAVE NOT MADE THE SMALLEST DENT OH MY GOD THIS WILL NEVER END.

When we were selling our coop, we went with the realtor who said "oh, your furniture is fine" over the one who pointed at about half our stuff and said "Get rid of that, and that, and that". In the end, it was way more important to have the place clean than to have it empty.
