I should be asleep now, but I just got home from being social with strangers and I would like my introvert making an effort merit badge, please.
It was fun, 1984 discussion at the bookstore near work I’ve been trying to get to since I moved to that office (last time I tried was on a Saturday and there was some sort of festival and parking was too impossible so I just went home, got a spot right out front tonight) with a nice bunch of people. It really like the owner now that I’ve met her so I will probably try a little harder to get there in person. Only bought one book (my bookshop e-book purchases are assigned to this store, so I’ve been supporting them).
Dinner beforehand was also pleasant, although the guy two tables down who seemed vaguely creepy dined-and-dashed, so feel bad for his servers and the restaurant for that. But the people directly next to me only got chatty when they curious about how my dessert order turned out, and it was quite good so I couldn’t blame them for that.

Well done you social thing!
Ahhh, sweet validation. That’s the stuff.
I have a job starting tomorrow! It’s only a month-long contract to start but they are hoping to extend so 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Speaking of socialization, today is indeed a party day! Today we celebrate -t's birthday. Happiest of happy birthday wishes are sent your way. May this year exceed all expectations!
Woot! And another reason for celebration! Well done, lisah.
Congrats lisah! Good luck on extending the contract.
Happy Birthday -t!
Yay lisah!! Happy birthday t!
Went to the lawyer. This whole “dads estate” thing is going to be longer and more complicated than I would like (and cost more money), especially given that he had a will and most of the money he has is already set up to go to us kids on his death. But still there’s lists and accounts and probate (and fees) and taxes and since he owns land elsewhere we need a lawyer in that state and ugh. And setting up a bank account for the estate so we can pay the taxes and the lawyer and stuff…bleh.
