Welp, it felt like I'd been off here long enough to post up how hings have been going here, to let you guys know how things are so far, and I'm happy to report that me and Jeri survived our first official inspection without much incident!
Social worker came and gave the place a once over, had a look at what we've set up so far for the kid's room, and we think everything's went over well, although they did end up commenting and asking questions about Rascal here, concerns about having such a big dog, asking for information on her papers, stuff like her original certificate and everything that we had to dig out
I kind of hoped that any kid would have been happy, you know, the big dream for a home with a family, pet dog and everything, but the social worker just looked like we were raising something to eat a kid instead, that constant reminder of the red tape is a bit blegh, and has us double guessing everything we wanna consider now, trying to decide if it'll be okay or if it'll end up ticking off the social worker instead
Next stage is that they're going to give us follow up inspections and also going to start talking to our referrees, so, yay there
Immediately after, me and Jeri had the house to ourselves, and decided that since she and I had the same days off, we would use it to have the best weekend we could together, no stress, just laid back together, videogames, movies, junk food, I feel like we could have used the time more constructively, but, I'm glad just to have had the time to enjoy with her for what it was
Even if it did end up my own one-handed videogaming on Magic Online has lead to a new houserule of no starting commander games after 8pm, lol
As for the reference in the title? It's harking back to the movie Juno, just with things that have been as hectic as they have and all, some days it feels like a struggle gaining ground on this adoption deal, but, I knew it would be hard from the start, and just being hard isn't enough excuse to pull out just now
It made me think back to that movie, after Juno's prospective adoptive parents for her baby have split up and everything seems to go down hill, she throws a brick in the prospective mom's window with a note to say she's stilli n, that as long as the lady wants to stick with this, she will too
Just that kind of spoken moment, that you need to say it out loud, just to kind of get your head in, let the other person know you know how hard it is for them and that you're there with them is a kind of moment I never really grasped until now maybe, but one that was definitely needed
It's not all about the adoption though, I've still been able to do a few things of my usual leisure, like, although I've quickly realised on my new budget that buying new cards for new commander decks is going to be a lot more time intensive and patience required to build up enough money to splurge on myself like that
Guess it also kind of means the end of commissions on any large scale, having to look for bargain rates or such, but if that's the worst thing that can happen, that's not much of a sacrifice at least, I can always art for myself if I can find time or such, still need to finish those last few DfDs!
Comics and cartoons ae still there too, oh dear me when I opened up Jem and the Holograms Issue 2!
Kimber and Stormer? Canonically queer? Possibly going out with each other?! I started just gushing about this with a friend who then pointed out the one episode they worked together in the cartoon back in the day, went back and realised JUST how overt it had been at times, lol, if only for that one moment of Stormer in bed with Kimber's photo aside her... "Oh, Kimber!"
But, yeah, y'know, it's just a gleeful little moment to enjoy when something moves from being subtle to being outright recognised
It's been plenty talked about with Steven Universe since Garnet being literally made of two gay space rocks or Pearl's feelings over Rose, I still love the show for its fantasy, and it's comedy, but there is something very cathartic about those scenes that get into the characters emotions
(And I'll forever love they can poke fun at themselves with the Crying Breakfast Friends cartoon Steven loves, lol)
"Who wants to watch a cartoon about a bunch of people crying? I just don't understand that cartoon."
I'm sure there's more to talk, but I guess for now, this does as an update, so, I'll hold fire here and talk more with you guys soon =B Wish us luck as things continue!

Worked well just to have the place to ourselves~
And best of luck to ya in the next visit; glad this one went at least passably well!
Seriously, lol, the guy gave us stink eye over painting the kid's room with fluffy clouds, I swear XP
But by gosh Sophie's work is gorgeous, the outfits, the visuals, the girls themselves, eeeee~
And Stormer is insanely cute, omg.
Gods I love this comic is a thing now, I need to go back and watch the episodes again on Netflix now, lol, but I think I really do prefer the new designs and looks for the girls =B
I really like Aja and Jetta as well as Stormer =D
And issue 3 out today!! It only gets better and better!! Gleeeee~
