One small nice thing about 2022 is that optometrists just give you your prescription and don't even bother trying to get you to get glasses from them.Comments

- Client B work.
- Emailed speech pathologist.
- Signed documents, sent money.
- Interviewed, watched a product tour.
- Took the guy to get his passport renewed. It was a struggle (partly because I didn't know both parents had to be there to Swear the Truth), but it got done.
- Made dinner.
Quite a bit of today was actually spent pacing around and spacing out. I guess my body doesn't quite know what to do with relief now. -
I feel my brain relaxing. It’s kinda weird.Comments

I had this interaction with a post office guy that started with him trying to cancel our passport appointment before it even got started and me, admittedly, pushing back maybe a little too aggressively.Comments
But it worked out OK, and he ended up working with us and being somewhat friendly? Could there be…hope? For humanity? -

We got an offer accepted on a place we got pre-inspected and found no major issues with. INCREDIBLY SHOCKING. Weirdly, I was listening to an episode of the Daily about the current brutality of house-buying just this morning.Comments

- Client B work.Comments
- Went to a home inspection.
- Talked with realtors about offer strategy. We made an offer. There's this terrifying talk of a possible second round in which the seller just messes with your head, which I hate.
- Took the guy to social class.
- Got groceries.
- Made dinner.
- Client C work.
- Went to the electronic music group. We had three people! We caught up on projects and job stuff and the commercial exploitation of musicians' underconfidence. I got the drawing tool part of my flooding piece working! I shouldn't really have too many more excuses to not get that piece done today. -

- Read through a lease, asked for a change.
- Figured out a thing to do for the family breakfast at school. I locked up the paper towels/napkins slot. Would have liked to do something less basic, but it's hard to come up with a safe and portable thing for that many kids. I was considering making 100 boiled eggs, but even the guy doesn't like boiled eggs.
- Client B work.
- Started to make a moving plan.
- Emailed about interviews; responded graciously to getting turned down for one job (it was a stretch, so I'm not surprised).
- Started on a fun new song; looking forward to somehow making it not fun.
- Client C work. - Comments

Ever think about Insane Clown Posse getting into a feud with Slipknot? I imagine Slipknot trying to ignore it but ICP getting under their skin.Comments

That thing where you have to hold on to a non-tired facial expression while you hit "Leave Meeting" at the end of an interview.Comments

Conservative groups hounded a Black educator out of two jobs. You might think, oh, that’s suburban Georgia, but there’s a case coming to the SCOTUS that claims local gun restrictions are unconstitutional (thereby making it easier to do shootings in places like Massachusetts), and of course, a case that will overturn Roe. Why wouldn’t the Republicans do this to ensure schools never teach America’s history with slavery throughout the country?Comments
And of course, even if they don’t, the damage caused by poor civic, history, and science education provided to most of the country is largely responsible for our current political nightmare. -

We got an application approved for a rental and now have a place to go in the (now fairly likely) event that we don't buy a house in the next month. It's an extremely expensive apartment (and is really hotel-like), but the terms for breaking the lease are explicit, so we don't have to worry about fighting someone in the event that we find a house before the end of the lease.
And it is cheaper than an Airbnb. (I was thinking, rents are so high, might as well get an Airbnb! But no, Airbnb rates are even higher.)
We kinda feel like we shouldn't relax, but we do officially have this place. It's real!
