Maybe everything does happen for a reason...

Not to go all karma, sappy, whatever, but things have been falling into place lately. Shopgirlove kicked some serious derriere this last week. She is still up in the air at work, but she is finally at that place where, should things go south, she can feel good about her contribution.
More to the point: she found somewhere she wants to live! And someone with whom she wants to live! Not to mention--someone who wants to live with her!
Maybe all of this was just a way to get Shopgirlove to consider a situation that she would normally have discounted for its location despite the fact that the potential future roommate is such a peach!
Whatever the circumstances, it's a relief to know there are good things out there.
Oh, and she's dating.
