Hil, I was afraid for a second that story was going to have a much worse ending!!
Yeah, like "because she was pretty and white, they let her off with a warning"
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

But look, I have cabinets!
Woo, cabinets!
Here is the style of sofa I determined was the most comfortable and had the softest fabric: [link]
I need to decide on what size, though. I like the idea of a reversible storage chaise, but then I'd probably want to get a chair since the sofa is smaller. The showroom had the left-arm angled chaise, and it's a little weird looking but it's really comfortable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I got to start my day with breakfast with Kat and her family (not news, but the twins are still cuties), and now I get to eat pie from the breakfast place.
YAY

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Long day of travel here. We are now in Philadelphia, as our agency is in Pennsylvania. The birth mother, who lives in Iowa, was referred to the agency. Since the agency doesn't have direct ties to Iowa, we dealt with local lawyer. The interstate compact from Iowa to Pa was completed yesterday, and now we have to wait for the compact from Pa. to MD to be completed.
We could have stayed in Iowa until all the compacts were completed, but we were frankly rather tired of Iowa.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cabinets, yay!
I like that sofa a lot. I totally covet storage ottoman type things.

But look, I have cabinets!
Groovy! New kitchen is an awesome investment!
I am crazy ass tired. How does that keep happening? It's not like I did much today.

Wow Sheryl, that's a lot with a new baby!!
I am feeling melodramatic and weepy, and then realized it may have more to do with only consuming 400 calories today, and less to do with reality being horrid. I hope. (Trying to be rational. Still feel weepy. No one wants to dance with me! What is wrong with meeeeeee??? Nobody loves me, everybody hates me...worms. Wish I had a root. Etc.)

You are a delight. Now eat something ASAP.
Because I didn't set anyone on fire today, I rewarded myself with a Häagen-Dazs salted caramel ice cream bar. I'll return to making healthy eating choices once I'm not using up all my executive function.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm eating ice cream because I'm afraid my city is going to riot HARD very soon.
You know what white privilege is? Eating ice cream because you're afraid your city will riot, instead of being afraid that you'll be shot in the head by a cop if you drive a car.

Yeah. I'm feeling kind of guilty that I'm all, "But, I need to get to campus to fill out all my tax forms and start moving stuff into my office."
