Oh, because "poutine" sounds too much like Putin. That took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out.
Dang, I didn't even figure it out; you had to explain it for me!

Notary just came to our apartment and we signed all the frickin' papers, plus inky thumbprints.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I have to say the thumbprint ink was some kind of wizardry--stamped the paper perfectly, but left nothing behind on our thumbs at all. I was expecting to have to scrub my fingertips a bit, but there was nothing to scrub!

Yay for getting the keys.
I can't sleep. I've been up all night. This happens sometimes and I hate it. But I don't feel sleepy and my brain won't shut off.

Our wings are not tired.
First! I think I missed Topic!Cindy's birthday, which may have been yesterday. If so I sincerely hope it was a wonderful day filled with love and treats. May the year to come bring much joy.

I had no idea you had to get fingerprinted for real estate. Cool. Anyway, I’m glad things are moving forward for you, JZ and Hec.

My Papa T is in the hospital with some continuing health issues. He's 94, but we're very close and he filled in for all the daddy things for me growing up. I just can't put into words how much he means to me.
