I paid off that debt a couple of days ago & am still giddy with relief at being off the hook. Like, wow, really? It's actually
gone?
Honestly, this is my first bit of good fortune in ages! Things had been looking rather dismal, I can tell you. (Roberta knows a bit more about this & has been terrifically supportive & sympathetic.
)
Anyway, "PHEW" is what I say! PHEW!
Phewing with you, kid. I don't drink. How about a little happy dance?
MsOlga--
You are a woman of modest means--but solvent.
Euphoria is well earned--and you might as well dust the ceiling while you're floating high.

That's easy to answer today; our son is visiting us for one week from Austin.
This
one made me smile, so I thought a share is a must.
From a friend in Tanzania.
Storm raging in the city - an autumn one, errant in this month. Almost lifts you off your feet on the wide boulevards, whistles around corners.
In the narrower streets within the neighbourhoods, the streetlights are spun over the street on cords from one side to the other, and cast a yellow-brown light; it's that Old World-feeling muttering dimness I like best about Budapest evenings. Now the effect is doubled, as the cords swing and sway precariously in the storm, and the shadows are thrown and warped one way and the other.
Last night I saw a dude get hit by a police car. One of the funniest things. Standing outside a bar in the middle of fan. hall, and some idiots were about to get in a fight. All of a sudden a few cop cars come bombing in, I hear THUD, then look back to see a dude rolling off the hood of the car. They grab him and shove him in the back.
Yesterday evening, a Bill Moyers interview with John Grisham made me smile. Especially the following excerpt (transcribed from memory, so not very accurate):
Grisham (after a lengthy explanation of his writing style): ... and then there's a few things I just can't write about. For example, I had a sex scene in one of my books. And when my wife read it, she just laughed and said, "John, what do you know about sex?"
Moyers: Spoken like a true Baptist.
The temperature's dropped 20 degrees in the last 4 hours and everythings covered in tiny pellets of white ice. The wind is howling around the chimneys and through the naked ice-laden branches of the oaks and no living thing is making a noise that can be heard over the winter shriek.
It's like Gotterdamerung has begun.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful--thorough a window.
I went to school today and was told I couldn't do the course I wanted because of a clash of classes, and I was nearly in tears when I left when a friend of mine I haven't seen for months gave me a manga I had been searching for for months, completely out-of-the-blue!! It made my day.
Watching elementary school kids come out of the door at the end of the day into a brand-new swirling snowstorm. Lots of smiles, lots of attempts to catch snowflakes on their tongues...
BPB's dwarf joke - not new - but it still made me laugh!
(I seem to remember the bunny used it some time back - made me laugh then, too!)
