I like Retro Sockhop.
That was also nice.
Being periodically supplied with an assortment of pickles sounds like a valuable service.
Certainly there has to be a pickle subscription service out there.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tired. In fact I'm so tired I put on two different earrings.By the time I realized it, I was in my car. Well, it's not like anyone besides me noticed...

I've done that, so don't feel too bad. Luckily, earrings aren't an absolute necessity. I also once managed to put on a skirt SIDEWAYS (I went to put my hand in my pocket and it was in front, rather than the side. Kind of a marsupial effect.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My aunt, her partner (they don't live together but have been together for a long time and it's odd to call home her boyfriend) are both 3x vaxxed. I think my dad and uncles are 3x vaxxed . Did a text check in and she said it's mild so far.
Fingers crossed it stays mild! Being triple vaxxed means it's likely to.

You know what's really good pickled? Turnips. YUM.

And yet, here we are.

Hmmm. I haven't had the pleasure.
So the lender is going to send their Chonk tomorrow morning, and then we will be fully Chonky and the title and the keys come to us.
I need more opinions on those Formica laminate patterns, people!
So just to give y'all a notion of what we're getting into (literally) the new place has almost 4,000 square feet, and our current apartment has 600 square feet. Now, the new place will have tenants on the first floor so we're getting about 2,700 feet to play with.
There are differing opinions on whether we could or should put a deck on the roof. But it is an enticing thought. Worst case scenario is two Adirondack chairs and a cooler on the roof.
Side note: the tenants rent will almost cover the mortgage payment. (Though the insurance and the taxes will still cost a lot more.)

Wow that’s amazing about the tenants’ rent! I mean obviously there’s also upkeep but go you guys!
I plugged my salary into an inflation calculator and confirmed it has only changed by about $3k since 2017, after inflation, despite being a bigger number in actual dollars. And despite yknow, five more years of experience and a title increase. Booo.
