Ooo, t-shirt dresses are great. I actually lump caftans, muumuus, and all that stuff under “caftan lifestyle.” Any comfy floaty dress, really.

I wear t-shirt dresses from late spring through early fall. They're the best. One with pockets are perfect.

I am wearing a t-shirt dress with a pocket right now AIFG

You get it.

T shirt dresses are awesome, although I mostly wear them around the house.

Job interview was....not what I expected and I don't want that job. Not just because it was slightly different than what I thought it would be but the team lead casually mentioned 2 work place injuries including getting hit on the head by falling boxes. I know that's going to be something that happens but to mention it so casually like it happens all the time was not what I want to hear.

Going back to the community center idea--there is nothing like that around here. There are almost no ways to take any kind of community classes. In Tallahassee, growing up (and I guess now) the Parks and Rec center offered lots of different classes and there were also personal enrichment classes at the community college. And in Brevard/Hendersonville it's the same thing- there are personal enrichment classes. The only real community center is the senior center.

But here in the Greenville area there aren't community college, just tech college and they don't offer that. There is no parks and rec programs. So the only thing I found for arts and crafts are through galleries and really expensive or geared towards seniors (and some are expensive) or kids. The public library offers some things and the variety seems to be going back to what it was before the pandemic but those are all 1 classes or drop in things and not something you'd get at a community center.

Much love to you David. And I think you're right to wait with the service.

My basic philosophy of dressing has been to feel like I'm wearing pajamas while looking presentable to the world.

I have a number of flowy comfy dresses because they are cool to wear in Florida. I am all about the comfort. Now here in Otter Lake that means sweatpants, sweaters, and thick socks.

My son's GF has a couple days off this week so I have talked DH into a road trip. Going up to Alexandria Bay to do the tourist thing and tromp around Boldt Castle [link] then going over near St. Regis Falls where a lifelong family friend has 40 acres of land they are making into campsites. He says the highlight is the fire pit with comfy reading chairs. Just chilling with the family time. Really ready for it. (of course there is the work thing which will be tricky since my son covers for me and he will be with me, but hey hot spots and laptops)

That’s a good philosophy, Sue

Now I almost want to do a caftan exchange. Tiaras, blankets, caftans.

Nothing broken or dislocated. Multiple muscle strains and bursitis causing shooting pain along my upper spine. NSAIDS, muscle relaxants, 8 wks of PT. About the best news I could get. R came with me, that was really nice. Between her vet experience and her massage therapy training, she knows her shit. Doc was super awesome as well.

Laura, that sounds delightful.

Yay for no more intense intervention, I guess?

Boo that the job is a non-starter.

I have been wearing clothes that are not appropriate for being in public for 2 days and it is the best. Arthur is doing great and big brother wants to hold him frequently.
