Life update 3/8/25 (Patreon)

Husband went to and came home safely from his out of state interview!! I was just a ball of anxiety and basically slept for almost the whole time he was gone. He thinks the interview went well, and we're hoping for an offer next week!!

On top of that, we heard from the lawyer handling my husband adopting my daughter. The papers have been filed. We just have to serve notice to the sperm donor, and if there's no response, on April 9th we move forward with hopefully a court date scheduled shortly after cause this is also about getting her name legally changed and her gender marker on her birth certificate.

So now I'm anxious about that, and whether her sperm donor will actually come out here. The Last time he saw her in person she was 1. He lives in England, and we're east coast US. But like, I made excuses for him for why he didn't see her for YEARS and have finally been like no, if roles were reversed, I'd have moved there or at least starved to save up and visit her literally every chance I had. Anything. I'd have done anything. So I've finally stopped making excuses for him. And while it would drag out the process, my husband and I are still pretty confident a judge won't see him finally now showing up as him being a good father. He's never paid child support. He never kept in touch with her consistently. When DCF stuff happened he talked shit about me then no one heard anything from him again. I just don't want to have to fight this and prove, once again, that someone who was shitty to me and my family is a shitty person. I also don't want my daughter to be forced to go through that. Although she is FIERCE and I could 100% see her telling him off if he tried to show up, lol.

As far as art stuff, I've been playing Infinity Nikki a LOT. Recently I saw they're doing an emoji/sticker contest for their discord, and i have SO. MANY. IDEAS. I probably won't get them all done in time for the deadline, but I still want to make all the stuff. I will have two versions of it all, as well. One version will be for the contest, and another for my Redbubble! I'm really excited with how the first thing I've made looks so far, and can't wait to share my creations. 😊
