Done yesterday (20120213 Mo)

Mostly not such a good day? Something like that. Not terribly productive, no walk (it was raining), and some bad news. I wasn't particularly depressed, mind you; just somewhat down.

I got a call from the person at the bank who had called me a couple of weeks ago suggesting that I could get a better rate by applying for a new equity line of credit. The appraisal came in -- about $40K under the last one. So... no. Another $42K and the place will be underwater. So much for that.

And Mom called to say that Tom, one of her dearest and closest friends, had died. He'd been in declining health for several years, but still...

So... not a good day, on the whole. I did book my hotel room for Norwescon, and buy a membership. So that's ok.

And it's Valentine's Day. Or Lupercalia, which some people apparently call Horny Werewolf Day, if you prefer. Here's wishing you love and joy for the year ahead.

  * book Norwescon room
    Coast Gateway Hotel, 18414 International Blvd, 206-248-8200 (distance: 0.1
    miles). Rate: $89. Ask for Tonya De La Cruz or Michelle Fischer and
    mention Norwescon when making the reservation. 
  : trainwreck: ok, so we _don't_ get a lower rate for our equity LOC.  The
    appraisal came in, I think about $40K under the last one.  Another $42K
    and we'll be underwater.  Eeep!  Do Not Like.
  * buy: V-day cards

I wish you love and joy in the year ahead too, and my sympathies on the combination of bad news events.

I kind of wish I'd had the foresight to get some of those cards from Ellis. I know a few people who would appreciate them ;)

And of course, now I'm wishing I had a Willow/Oz Icon :P
