My morning started with mending some clothes: a button on L’s dress, a few seams that fell apart on her romper, a button on my blue CeCe blouse, and a serious seam rip on my “french” top. This task has been hanging over my head for at least 6 months, if not longer. Each time I would reach for those items, I’d go “gah!!” Feels good to get it done.
I then went to Macy’s to try on some dresses. I wanted to get a new dress for myself to wear at R’s preschool graduation. All but one dresses looked great on hangers but not on me. The one coral dress by K Lagerfeld was cute but not cute enough to shell out $199.
After coming home, had a delicious afternoon nap, accompanied by a podcast where a scientist was discussing the power of sleep.
Read more of “Meditation for Mortals” by Oliver Burkeman. The book is broken into twenty eight chapters, one for each day of the month. I don’t feel like I am connecting with everything the author has to say but, so far, my favorite sections are on toxic productivity, people pleasing, and not making the feelings of other people your problem which I often have a tendency to do.
After I got the kids from school, we came home, freshened up, and went to R’s friend birthday party. The place was sort of an arcade and an indoor playground. The bumper cars were the best while the zombie movie scares us.
