Good News
I have three items of good news.- My car insurance premium went down, as my driving skills and overall responsibility and trustworthiness shot up exponentially on my 25th birthday.
- I have effectively become the Kierkegaardian knight of faith. After infinitely resigning myself to the fact that the dryer in our building is malfunctioning and making definite plans to finish my laundry at the laundromat, I found that the dryer was indeed back to operational status and -- this is crucial -- I was able to enjoy the benefit of finishing my laundry in my own building, without feeling put out for having wasted so much effort resigning myself to going to the laundromat. This is the most spiritual growth I have experienced in decades.
- I have found a public restroom that is easily accessible along the path by which I get to CTS by public transit -- DePaul University's bookstore on State and Jackson. Availability of public restrooms is one area where big cities are clearly at a disadvantage to suburban areas.
