That's a good one.
Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hey grammar people, in "newly elected government," I don't need a hyphen, right?
No, you don't, Jesse. And good luck!
Right.
Thanks!
Good luck, Jesse, may the day bring more light and happy than you are expecting.
I do that sort of thing too, turning everyday items into totemic objects that can help me through a tough day. The right coffee cup is key, and I wear something made by my daughter. I even carefully select for certain underwear on those days. Because I am a dork, apparently.
Underwear is excellent for that purpose, because you know it's there but no one else does.
I used to put on red lipstick and combat boots to go work in the library when I was having a hard time motivating myself in college.
Many hugs to everyone who's had a hard day! And much plumbing~ma, sara!
And probably lots of other stuff I meant to respond to, but cannot brane.
All of this. And I also have totemic objects - well, usually makeup and/or scent, but the same idea of fortification.
Since I work from home, I can wear whatever I want, but what works best for me when I need emotional shoring up is to re-read something beloved when I take a break (this week that's been Blue Beetle comics, seriously; other times it might be Little Women or Skulduggery Pleasant).
