Confessions of a Slacker

Three month reprieve!

It's all set. I get to continue living here until the end of October, at a new $400-a-month rental rate. I made my pitch to Jim this morning. He talked to Joe about it, and Joe OK'd it. So the intense pressure to find a new place to live is off, for the time being, at least.

About a week ago, I was playing Web Sudoku online like I often do, and I made sort of a silent prayer asking for a sign that I would be able to continue living here past July. I asked that the sign be that I'd beat my fastest solving time, which was then 2 minutes, 21 seconds.

I played a game where I tied that score... then, several games later, I beat that score by one second!

But a few days later, I was still insecure about the outcome. It was on my mind while I was playing... and then I beat my previous best by a full 21 seconds, making my fastest score 1 minute, 59 seconds!

The Universe does speak when we are willing to listen.
