reverse-engineering happiness
Turns out for me, the behavior which I thought was obsessive, is actually responsible. Today I did several responsible things. I thought of it like a transitional space for guests, where maybe they don't want to be in the center of all the action area in the kitchen, but maybe they do want a cup.
