Wanna know?
Here are some "answers":
The smaller size shoes. The clerk may be right that they are the "wrong" size for me, but they are far more comfortable on my feet than the size she maintains is right, so too bad for her.
How about "no activity" instead? Rather, something that hadn't been on the original list of options. Those things probably still need to be completed, but the evening is gone and I'm well engrossed in the many more since (and the ones that will follow from this moment too).
Maybe buy...but at the moment, "rent" won. Not actually because I made a decision, but because the owner decided to go with someone else whom he thought would close within two days (rightly or wrongly, it would have taken me longer). So I'm remembering the Fourth Cardinal Rule of Real Estate (after "location, location, and location"): there is always another property. No, it won't be "as good," but it will also be better. Or that guy won't have pulled his act together in two days either, and I'll be able to offer less than previously for a "quick sale" (ha!).
"This flight" - with family, to family, by family. Lots and lots of family. But we're a fairly small extended family and I live far away, so to be able to see so many so many times within so few days is a treat.
Outside exercise. Hot, yes. But at least there's air.
And, of course, sleeping won.
So I'm off to tackle some academic work this very minute, in the hope of bringing the "long term" to bear on the short term.
