Dear Universe,

I think you will agree, what with one thing* and another**, that it would not be inappropriate for a bit of luck*** to swing my way. Therefore, in July/August, please see to it that there is a charming half-shotgun with wood floors, plenty of windows, a washer/dryer, and a porch available for no more than $650/month north of Canal and south of Esplanade between Carrolton and Broad.

Yours in absurd presumption, yes I am aware that this kind of wish means the gods will just know where exactly to kick me next, but sometimes you just have to say what's on your mind,

Julia
