cancel the emergency...

The rant about the post office stands, but the financial situation has remedied itself. What I was hoping would happen with the student loan did, in fact, happen, so I should be in possession of $4000 tomorrow (gotta love electronic fund transfers, when they're incoming). The notice I got said I should get the money today, but waiting until tomorrow to make sure won't hurt anything.

Yesterday I did something silly. When I went to buy a spray bottle for my bonsai tree, I also bought a bottle of nail polish. I've never worn nail polish regularly, but I decided I liked it when I was reintroduced to it for the wedding. So I bought some pearl-colored nail polish, two coats of which comes out almost opaque but not quite. Hopefully technology has improved nail polish in general since the last time I wore any (which was in junior high sometime). I used to be able to peel it off in sheets after it dried. There may be hope for this stuff, though, considering it went through the shower this morning and seems to be perfectly fine.
