the breakdown

 i got up this morning at least as tired as when i went to "bed" last night. i'm exhausted, we all are. this morning was a particularly intense emotional rollercoaster, between scrambling to extract money out of my pension fund and trying to get work done and interviewing for a potential new job, then half-running to the bank to get there *just* before closing...

... it didn't start off so well, but the clerk eventually warmed up to our story and when she contacted my mom and was satisfied that she should help us i literally cried - so obviously that she rushed off to get me some water and said she was worried that she was going to follow suit.

we now have everything we need to sign for the apartment tomorrow morning.

i spent most of the second half of the day pretty fuzzy, my brain having turned to candy floss from all the emotions and exhaustion. i managed to get some work done, but really not a significant amount, and i did a lot of jumping from phone call to phone call with various people and organizations.

in the evening we went to the mongoose's, where gd made a nice dinner and we had some interesting conversations, including a phone conversation with a friend of theirs who has a very interesting business proposition... (crypto again?)

i'm sad that we left waaaay to late for me to join the TAR purim rollerblade route.

otherwise, it was a fun evening and the taxi ride home was interesting and now i'm finishing this up and taking another desperately needed shower and going to bed.
