I was up later than planned last night thanks to the Mets' extra innings hijinks. At least they won? But it made it hard to get up for my meeting this morning, though at least it was at 9 and in midtown, so I didn't have to get up extra early for it or anything. Small mercies, I guess.

The StreetEasy listing on my the co-op officially went to "in contact" this morning, so I'm hopeful that means the seller actually signed. Next up, securing the loan! Eep!

Shockingly, my landlord actually provided my proof of tenancy letter almost immediately after I emailed to follow up on the call I made last week. I was afraid that would be the hardest part, but so far so good. I have one of the personal references already, and the others should hopefully be in my hot little hands soon.

Any and all kind thoughts, prayers, and finger-crossings are gratefully accepted. *g*

What I'm reading Wednesday:

What I've just finished
Aftermath: Empire's End by Chuck Wendig, which was fine. Not as good as Life Debt but better than the first one. I still don't understand many of the narrative choices (Luke's complete and utter absence is still a giant WTF to me), but I also don't take them as canon (except if I like something) so. *hands*

What I'm reading now
The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George (translator: Simon Pare), which I was enjoying more before the action kicked into gear, tbh. I was much more interested in Perdu's literary recommendations and the shenanigans of his neighbors at number 27 Rue Montagnard than I am in his current journey down the river with Max Jordan. (Is it some sort of Huck and Jim allusion?) I guess we'll see where it goes. The writing is lovely and charming, so there's that going for it.

What I'm reading next
As always, it is a mystery!
