judge took a bit of time (~2wk) to go through my case. it wasn't hard to get done (literally just filled out a few pieces of paper and gave some cash), but because of ICE in a nearby area, many people were getting other stuff filed & heard to stay safer/get out of here. but it's done now!!!

i still feel i owe you a photo, so here is one of me in a fluffy onesie on a bus.

i would like to note that the bus system here is fareless, punctual, reasonably comfortable and overall very well liked. however, the place i live is also WEIRD AS HELL, and as far as fits go, this is not one bit unusual on the bus. but those are stories for other times !!
