Life’s got a funny way of putting you in your place. Just when you’re conceited enough to think you’ve got it all figured out, it gives you something that is half, or technically, what you asked for and yet doesn’t have the fundamentals you’d expected. It’s like the cliche genie wish-granting. But I get it. And I accept it with a laugh.

I may have to scrap my dealbreaker list and re-evaluate my priorities.
