The closing went off without a hitch, and I'm now a carefree middle aged broad without a mortgage. Can I get a yee ha?
Since then, my D22 has taken center stage - working through her frustration in the job search and feeling like a ship without a port. We had a long chat on Saturday, and I just left things for her to mull. She came back with a plan that has apparently worked. BTW, her BF suggested she highlight her success on the volleyball court because he felt those skills translated so well in real life (he's right, and I suggested that a long time ago to no avail). Anyway, she got a call from a company in the pharmaceutical industry today and they want to schedule an interview. The money is good and it's located in CT. Rosalinda just might be able to wave to her across the sound.
In the meantime, I'm plodding through spring break. D19 has a kidney ultrasound tomorrow, and we're going to a funeral on Saturday. Not much of a break for her, but you have to do what you have to do. I bought myself a Roomba last night. It seems like a bizarre extravagance (it is), but for some reason, I convinced myself that life will be easier with it. Taking suggestions on what to name her. Not Rosie. Everyone names their Roomba Rosie.
Peace to all of you.
