We fortunately did not have to be fingerprinted again, but that TB test kills me every time. I WORK IN A SCHOOL, for heaven's sakes! I can't have or be any of those things ANYWAY! :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-12011547121847842522016-07-01T07:00:03.129-07:002016-07-01T07:00:03.129-07:00I was laughing about your still not being a convic...I was laughing about your still not being a convict nor having TB. I remember bristling having to be fingerprinted again, as if my fingerprint had changed.<br /><br />You know, Jess, your ability to take this all in stride, to feel things deeply and to still find the lightness to it -- that's really special. I'm sure that comes through loud and clear not only to your case worker but also to the readers of your profile <3.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-14836822246158822422016-06-30T07:57:41.597-07:002016-06-30T07:57:41.597-07:00Thank you!

Someone wished us luck and I was like, "but luck has so little to do with it, and if you're a basically responsible good human not living in squalor you'll do fine," but it's hard to put into words I guess. And yes -- I bet that's a common dichotomy, the piler and the clear-surface person. It's actually in my wedding vows. Although I was sneaky and called it "making pile management a priority" -- which doesn't mean ELIMINATING them per se, just MANAGING them, having fewer in fewer places. HA. :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-68760032562563792702016-06-30T07:37:53.058-07:002016-06-30T07:37:53.058-07:00We really, really do!
