Doing someone a favor isn't always easy

Well, I'm trying to adhere to the "short skirt and knee-high boots" dress code of andycomment's birthday party on Friday... the problem being that I have no such boots. I set out to remedy this, but the only cute pair I found at zappos was loaded with user comments like thank god I found boots that fit over my thick calves and whoa, these are way too big, they must be made for people with thick calves. Sighhhh... so I tried to stop at the cheap shoe place in Porter Square, I mean, whups, the one that used to be in Porter Square. What!? I could've sworn it was still there over the weekend. No more. :( So tonight I'll try DSW, but if that doesn't work, I give up.

Yesterday I had a nasty sniffly drippy cold and today I (rather spookily) feel a lot better. I don't think the cold can possibly have run its course so quickly. I think it's just lurking and trying to get me to do something stupid.

Got a headache that feels like a temperature... hot.

Anyway... I'm nervous. Tomorrow's the date we're supposed to have our mortgage finalized by, and we don't have it. The big loan's approved but not the little one, yet, and the big one depends on the little one. What this means, legally, is that the seller could back out of the whole thing tomorrow if he wanted to. What this means realistically is that we'll get an extension on the mortage date, and my lawyer will charge me a little more moolah. But still, I so much prefer it when things run smoothly.
