//separate post. Cash, i can't find your mailing addy.

I am looking at a rather involved short-term consultancy agreement. The pay is less than meh, but have worked so hard to get this in pocket, i do not care at the moment. i will care later. for now... legaleeze here we go. Thank you for the ~ma. Returning it to the general pool for a bit.

Thinking of you and your family, Steph.

Doesn't that kind of bias them against attending college, then?

I'm sort of hoping the encouragement we give them will be enough and that they'll want to go to college on their own. If they don't want to go on to school, we really can't force them--even if we're alive.

The trust will pay living and school expenses while they go to college, so it's not like they will get nothing until they graduate.

I'm sorry for your and your family's loss, Tep.

((((Steph and family))))

My thoughts are with you and yours!

I've reverted to stress-housework. So far I've: baked a quiche, done laundry and hung it outside to dry, washed a double-sinkfull of dishes, and changed the bedsheets.

Next up: gym. And possibly baking zucchini bread.

I've reverted to stress-housework.

My sister! Emptied and refilled dishwasher. Done loads of sheets, towels and now the duvet cover. Remade the bed with fresh sheets. Swept up the furballs, although they've already proliferated.

So sorry to hear that, Steph.

I wish my stress was so efficient.
