Ooo, t-shirt dresses are great. I actually lump caftans, muumuus, and all that stuff under “caftan lifestyle.” Any comfy floaty dress, really.
I have two of these romper type things that I live in. I wish I liked the other two colors. The best part is you simply cut them to the proper length. My 5'0" self appreciates that. I've turned the pant leg bottoms into the very best hair bands.
PS: I'm wearing the grey one and it's matching headband RIGHT NOW, aifg.
smonster, I'm so glad you have an answer and such great support!
I bow down to the tyranny of Arthur!
Y'all with fussy babies, bring them my way. It's a super power to either calm them immediately, or not be fussed with their cries. A luxury afforded to the childless, but still useful! Friends left the baby I watched being born with me for their first night out without him. He screamed for 5 straight hours. A mom from the block came over and could not hack it. Me? Zen. The wee thing passed out about 2 minutes before the parents got back. They never knew.
I wish life weren't coming at you all at once, David.
What Shrift said.
I’m glad the diagnosis was actionable and not unexpectedly dire, smonster.
I told my sister that I was coming to see her next Friday.
She replied: "I will hold you tight when you get here. Thank you for coming and letting me pour my love on you. I will cover you with blessings."
"I will hold you tight when you get here. Thank you for coming and letting me pour my love on you. I will cover you with blessings."
Beautiful. I'm so glad for you both.
David, I put a tiny, rose quartz heart for Jacqueline in the Temple of the Heart at Burning Man with a note: Jacqueline, you deserve more time. It’s so hard to let you go.
Please haunt David.
these are good responses to hard times
Please haunt David.
I welcome this haunting!
I told the lady at our local cafe, the owner. She's watched Matilda grow up from infancy.
She came around the counter and hugged me and started sobbing in my arms.
I have gone to see a friend’s son play baseball today. This is a Dominican youth league. He is not Dominican. He was told the game would start at 1. Game has still not started. There are no “officials”, no rules about when games get called if s team doesn’t show in a certain time. Players are just hanging out super casual, no sense of urgency or structure. I am going slightly crazy.
The two coaches are now arguing, players are laying in the field, again no officials stepping in to move the game along. Madness.
