Planning a kitchen is stressful, and it's distracting. I'm supposed to finish my thesis, but there is so much I have to do about the kitchen, it's very annoying. I'm almost at the point where I wish we'd have said screw it, we'll have them put in a kitchen for us, even though I know we'd still have to expand it and it would have been only slightly less work. (Apparently according to the law only a sink and a stovetop need to be provided.) And I'm very bad at asking for more money, or discounts, or favors. To make everything even more fun, we should decide and ideally buy our kitchen by Saturday because that's how long the kitchen sales last, and DD is currently sick.

Positives: I drove to a store a bit further out on my own today and it went very well. I still hate driving on my own, I get nervous, even though objectively it's (usually) not harder than with someone sitting next to me. But I'm getting better.

And my mom got a box of chocolates as a gift and she's not eating chocolate during Lent, so I got it. I need reward chocolate at the moment.

I currently crave idfic, especially if it involves self-sacrifice of some kind. I'm also plotting increasingly cruel fates for various characters, I hope I'll manage to finish something. To each their own coping strategies. Sorry Teresa.
