Thanks for checking in Steph. I’m glad things went well!
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wire transfer went through. Escrow closed. I own the house.

This too shall pass.
Champagne all round on the house closing, but none for Teppy because she already has the good drugs.

Glad you are through surgery and doing well Steph.
Congratulations on escrow closing and the new house David!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, congrats, David!
I am watching the Emmys and was caused physical harm by the announcement that "up next, David Boreanaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar celebrate 30 years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Huh, Boreanaz has had some...stuff done to his face, I see.

That seems amazingly fast! Congrats!

Dang David, that was so fast! Didn’t you just put the offer on it like, last week??
Enjoy some good drugs, Teppy!!

Yes, but I used a Securities Backed Loan (SBL) to make a cash buy and now I'm going to refinance it with a regular mortgage (which will pay off the SBL).
It was five days from bid to close.
It's been an absolute blizzard of DocuSign! (and texts, emails and calls)

That sounds like a land speed record
I absolutely should not complain about this, but: my dad picked up some “cinnamuffins” one of the times he was grocery shopping and we discovered after he got them home that they were made with eggs so Mom couldn’t eat them. So yesterday, he and I had one each, and they were pretty delicious! I woke up this morning thinking “I don’t have to think about what to eat for breakfast, we have two of those muffins left so I can have one of those and that will be good”. Got down to the kitchen and the empty container is in the recycling. Alas. Have to make a decision when I didn’t plan to.
