I WFH And Still Get Dressed.

11 | 09 | 2022: “An apple a day, if well aimed, keeps the doctor away.” - PG Wodehouse . . It’s true. I really do try to eat the apple I have for the day, but there are moments when it seems more enticing to throw it.

11 | 08 | 2022: “Whatever is my right as a [hu]man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.” - Thomas Paine, Rights of Man . . . It’s Election Day and I’m voting because I believe there isn’t a finite limit to rights or privileges in our country. I can have rights and pursue happiness in this society without requiring that others’ rights and pursuit of happiness be hampered or limited. We can all have rights, including the right to live how we choose, love how we choose, and exist as our true selves out loud without making anyone suffer. I’m voting for those who I know won’t pursue hurting or subduing me or the ones I love.

Voted and now I’m in pajamas waiting on my takeout. To think in 2008, we were in a bar on U Street where I was sipping on red and blue drink specials *in a bouncy castle* each time a state was called…. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkuCobrLU-m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I keep expecting her to appear to silently stare at me and demand fresh water. I showered without being supervised by her big eyes for the first time in 11 years. I don’t feel her kicking me in her sleep or her deep snores anymore. There’s no one to watch me from the steps to see what I’m up to or someone to trot to the front door because she’s convinced I only go to the first floor to get a Starbucks takeout order. I just miss her so much. I still can’t believe I actually was able to let her go. I’m never going to get over that cancer took my dog too.

I often find myself speaking to that self love isn’t conceited but I still think there is a social stigma to that when it comes to picking yourself over others.

It’s getting wild in here with all the animal print I am wearing this week.

Seriously guys, don’t panic. It’s Friday. Have a strong iced coffee. Maybe a donut. Open a window. Pet a dog. Panicking can wait until late Sunday night when you can’t sleep cause you’re overanalyzing everything you said or did over the weekend. 💙

Also, gingham is the warm weather plaid and apparently I own copious amounts of it. 😂

There wasn’t a woman alive who could go from point A to B without stopping at C, D, X, and 12 along the way.” Julia Quinn, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton

I’m feeling all the emotions in rapid succession these days.

Got a good night’s sleep but awoke to the fact it was Monday again and a call from Blue Girl’s oncologist with the results of the CT scan. I’d like to go back to non-reality, please.

But I do both during Dapper Day weekend to be clear.
