Ugh, it's all so sad. No one should have to figure out what to do with a baby they don't want alone.

Is there a cutesy J thing in your family, Jesse?

I am not related to these people! I mean, I guess we may be related, but distantly. Or not at all. Also, I think J is one of the most popular first initials, in general?

I was just watching the gas station story on the news. You have three days to abandon at a safe place with no consequences. ALSO! The lady who "found" the baby was solicited to meet the mother beforehand, so it's kind of a hoax.

You have three days to abandon at a safe place with no consequences.

Three days? I had thought it was longer than that....goes reading....and you have 14 days in which to change your mind.

It's not a perfect plan, but no scenario with an unwanted pregnancy brought to term can really have "perfect" applied to it, really.

The lady who "found" the baby was solicited to meet the mother beforehand, so it's kind of a hoax.

Wait, explain...the mother who abandoned the baby didn't really abandon it? She passed it off onto someone? Did she know the someone? I never actually make it to the news, because it makes me more mad than informed.

I'm working in the office today due to a quarterly meeting at 11. I really prefer my work at home routine. I think i'm headed home as soon as the meeting is over.

I see my orthopod tomorrow morning. Hopefully we will have a good plan for my shoulder after that cause I'm pretty miserable right now.

I hope the orthopod has a decent plan, Suzi. Suzi in pain is no good.

Dang, homemade? I haven't had homemade paczki since my grandma died.

I realized I don't think I've ever had any kind of paczki before, so I guess I'll be getting a treat. I, uh, purposely ate a light breakfast.

Man, in order to balance out all the sugary goodness in the one I ate, I think my dinner is going to have to be steak wrapped in steak with a side of steak.

Seriously, lunch was turkey with avocado and swiss (literally just those 3 things, no bread). I'm hoping the fat and protein will go balance out the sugar before my eyes start to boing out of my head.

But oh my god, SO YUMMY.

I've never had paczki, but now I want one! Apparently the only place you can get them in Nashville is at Publix, which is nowhere near me. Alas!

I have had paczki. I had one with strawberries and custard, which was yuck, and then another kind because I can't remember the singular and how would I post about it then?

I sent out a dept wide email announcing donuts in the kitchen and I said elevenses. Waiting to see which geologists and engineers respond.

Paczek (pronounced pohn-check).

There are still 3 left in the kitchen (all blueberry, I think), and I am DYING. I would totally eat another one if I didn't know the gluten would make my insides cry. (As it is, I'm already paying the price for the first one, which was a decision I made as an adult. I only get paczki once a year, so gluten be damned.)
