Summary
As the New Year draws close, the veil is thin. Lost in parking structures, falling to pieces in Lowes, an unusual approach to calling on a handyman almost doesn't work. King sized bed frames forthcoming, questions of nightstands appear. To resent, to resist, to long for clean Gwyneth-mother-hands. Christmas happened. The hags read aloud an intimate and high stakes text thread. When Kate is disappointed, Jacqueline permits disappointment; only then might light creep in. In very big news, Boo the Cat, the wild boy from Jacqueline's courtyard, has moved in permanently. My god, the year ahead. There's peace in admitting it.
