Head first into the season ahead

As much as I prefer summer weather to the brittle and unforgiving season ahead of us, I’d wear fall and winter clothes year round if I could. However, sometimes I get a little claustrophobic when wearing long-sleeved shirts and have once or twice had a total freakout in public, like I’ve been buried alive, that kind of thing where I want to claw my way up and out of the grave of the awful garment smothering my torso, and oh my god, now that I’ve gone back and read this sentence I have such a deeper understanding of my older child.

Also, I’m an olympic snuggler, so I’m looking forward to fires, that one faux fur throw I bought on sale in 2009, and watching a shit ton of Netflix with Marlo on Saturday mornings. Right now we’re on a “Little Princess” kick which I so much prefer to the show she was watching last week with catty pink ponies who talk to each other as if they can’t even while smacking a wad of gum, and there I am involuntarily making a silent gagging face and jerk off motion, because yes, a cartoon deserves my unmitigated rage.

Yep. I’m still all over the place. Hi!
