I've been quiet for the last few days because there's been a lot going on behind the scenes and I didn't want to jinx it, but now I can jubilantly announce that my property taxes are paid! ALL of them, back taxes and current. I owe the C's payments over the next few years, and I've solemnly sworn to start channeling money into savings for next year's taxes, but I'm no longer contemplating the possibility of living in my car.

To celebrate, I'm going out to get a haircut in a little while---first one since the grand shearing last July!---and I'm so relieved I'm giddy. (I've spent the last few weeks lying awake at night fretting about the money, not to mention perpetual low-grade indigestion.) Now, if I can just get the roof fixed and find a decent affordable car, I'll be completely delirious!

I also have a fic being betaed---I know!---I've been trying to get away from fanfic, but somebody has to counter all the emo!Rorshach wank going on over in The Watchmen fandom. It felt good to have an idea that I was actually moved to write, as opposed to over-thinking and doing nothing.

TTFN!

It is with a satisfied smile that I can report Mission Accomplished. The taxes are paid, I'm safe for another year. The car insurance is renewed--with the same company, Geico, since the quote I got from the company my homeowner's policy is through was considerably more.

I got all that done bright and early; went over to Barnes and Noble and sat with the new Elizabeth Moon, Engaging the Enemy while waiting for Kat to get out of her doctor's appt. Then we had lunch and schmoozed for an hour or so, and I came home and caught a nap, since I stayed up much later than usual last night to see Antonio Banderas on Letterman.

Dave still raises my hackles--I don't know what it is about him that rubs me the wrong way, but it does--but Antonio is Looking Good. *fans self* (Which gives me hope that I'm holding up okay, since he's a scant month older than I.)

Tomorrow holds the possibility of going to Schnauzerland to do ceramics with S, depending on how outgoing I feel. I might just stay home and do laundry....
