Huh. I figured out the buffista because facebook has suggested I friend her, but I was never sure who she was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Helpful, cowgirl, helpful!
There was a reason I didn't put it in the first post! And wasn't 100% sure she was even from here....

Thanks, y'all. It's hitting me particularly hard today because I feel like I've put so much into taking this step forward and I've gotten nowhere at all. Argh.
Scrappy, I'm so sorry: I hope the tax thing works out better than you fear, and that Laylah has a peaceful, easy time. You have given her a good life, even if it's shorter than you wish.

Consuela, I hope that while it feels like you've gotten nowhere, you've actually laid a brick in the path you are constructing. It's just not done yet, and that's exhausting.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Consuela, we went through much the same thing with my mom a few years ago. She wouldn't change anything and wouldn't let us do anything. It was maddening and exhausting. I wish I had something more encouraging to say than I sympathize.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Finally got to speak to my best friend whose father died last week. Man, she's going through some especially complicated stuff right now. But it's extra apparent at times like this why we've been friends for so long. She's going to be okay. Not soon, but she will be.
Completely unrelatedly, I'm just wrapping up watching One Eight Seven, and I really had no idea how this movie went. Whoa.

Dag, I can't believe Brady punted on 3rd down when the Pats were up big.
That's the biggest football insult I've seen in the NFL. That's like invoking the slaughter rule in a Little League game.

Whew. OK, I have sorted out my closet. Piles of things to hem, things to dry clean, huuuuge pile to donate, took all my formal wear down to the guest closet, and stuck some stuff up in the closet for "If I'm ever this size again". ...my closet is freakishly spare now. And some of it is summer stuff. So little of it is work-appropriate. Eek.
And my friend bailed on me, so I'm going to sit home the rest of the evening and watch Miss America, I think...
