Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Suzie, that sounds awesome.
I am posting from the spa at the Claremont Hotel, which is a ridiculously posh 19th century hotel, a great white palace on the hill above Berkeley. Got a 90 minute massage, sat in the hot tub with a view of the bay, and now I'm lounging until I'm dry enough to change and go home to my pedestrian life where nobody gives me a fresh warm robe when I get out of the shower...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't often think of the Grand Canyon, but you have represented it beautifully, Suzi.
Consuela, do you want a stranger standing in your bathroom? Maybe they were warming the robe by sitting on it? Or wearing it?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Well, hey, its's ita! Lovely to see you again!
And I am not the only person to wear nightgowns out! HA! The one I wore out most often is pretty damned threadbare now, so it's demoted to around the house wear, and fast-food runs.

Do any parents use Khan Academy?
Mac is about to start a homework tutorial program he is going to HATE, but he is failing 4 classes as of today and I am done with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, that sounds amazing, Suzi!

Our wings are not tired.
Oh that was beautiful, Suzi! The last time I was there I was pregnant with one of the boys, so clearly a long time ago. Must go back.
I have to share my favorite Grand Canyon story. On one of the lookouts there was a couple maybe in their 60s. She grumpily complained to her husband, "do we have to stop at every lookout, this is monotonous." I swear everyone's head turned and looked at the poor man with pity. And surely would have looked the other way if he tossed her off the edge. How do you please someone who finds the Grand Canyon monotonous?
Also jealous of Consuela! And delighted to read of people enjoying life. Well done.
Typos!

People's bedclothes dilemmas always intrigue me, because I don't bother with them. I've got a robe handy if I need to interact with someone who's not a cat or Hubby, but otherwise my nighttimes are clothing optional.

I didn't wear nightclothes for years, but I think I started when DH's grandparents lived with us for a while. Then the children were getting older and I just got in the habit.

I vary the night clothing wildly, depending on mood and weather and sleeping patterns. Most usually it's panties and a tank; when I'm sick, it might be full-on flannel granny nightgown, and when I'm all freshly showered and lotioned, I might slide into a nice nightie.
I have a lot of flannel PJ bottoms, but I wear them around the house, and ditch when it's time to go to bed. I can't sleep with too much fabric. And when it's hot out, it's just underwear.
