Okay, this week, this month, this year, my life sucks

Instead of a secret handshake, I believe it's a secret sigh...

Well, the good news is, I'm enjoying the train commute. It gives me a chance to catch up on audiobooks I bought for the drive cross-country and podcasts I subscribe to. Ive been woefully behind on listening.

I peddled a great vintage poster to the Academy (that they do not have in their collection), alas they are at the end of their fiscal year and have no money either, but they are interested. So, while not timely now, this is still good news, come July, I will revisit that and likely pass on the poster for about 4000 semolians, which is significantly more than I paid for it originally. This will be plopped in the bank account and pay off the credit card charges I've racked up this last month that I like as not will not have been completely paid off by then (unless I have an ebay windfall from selling something else).

In the meantime, to replenish the coffers for the needed car repairs, I've been selling a few goodies via ebay and to a few other collectors privately. So, by mid April the car should be in the shop getting fixed and I've got a JetBlue flight booked to Long Beach for a DL trip May 5, 6 and 7th. My AP is blocked on Saturdays now until after Labor Day (I think, maybe longer) so I won't be visiting on the 5th unless I decide to spring for a day pass.

So, as was wisely pointed out to me, this too shall pass. I'm on an upswing, woohoo.
