All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm with Amy. If you think the colors work 3 is pretty great.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shir, I hope your administration is reasonable and you are feeling better!

And I like #1 -- no help at all!

Also I just made king cake for my band Mardi Gras today, sort of based on Heather's family recipe (in that it is based on Pillsbury crescent rolls!), but made vegan. We'll see how it goes.....

I like the flowers or the candy stripe best. Generally not a fan of blocking (so that's just me,) the oriental seems too busy for that space (draws too much focus from everything else.) Candy might be busy, but more of a white noise busy.

I like #1. But think sarameg, who has seen the space, is probably the one of us you should listen to.

Anyone have recommendations for mattress pads? Even with various support pillows, I'm waking up with sore hips because our mattress is too hard. Mr. Loomy irrationally dislikes memory foam, but if a memory foam one is the best option, I'll talk him into it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been using a memory foam mattress pad for about six months now, and I love it. Absolutely the best mattress pad I've ever used.

I think his dislike is based on we use a heated mattress pad (Best! Thing! Ever!), and he has concerns that the uniform heat will negate the memory foam aspect. And that the memory foam will just conform to pressure points and not be supportive.

IDEK, his brain is odd.

Do you know anyone local who has a memory foam mattress pad that you could try out for a few days and see how you like it? (Or, if your finances allow it, could you just buy one and agree to try it out for two weeks or something and then decide?)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've been tempted by thredup, but I have Fit issues with some non-standard measurements (like length of torso and breadth of shoulders), so trusting to a stated size on a website is pretty dubious.

BUT! I went out Lyfting for a while, which meant that while I was down in Dedham I could stop by the Savers thrift store, which did not disappoint with two pairs of work pants, one pair of where-will-I-wear-them pants (seriously cool fabric) and this sort of chenille poncho in purple-blue which will make a fun home bathrobe.

So that kind of ate up half the money I made from Lyft, but what the hell.
