walking, writing

The sun came out and the wind warmed up yesterday, so I did walk more. Except it turned out there was a puddle approximately the size and depth of Lake Superior at the end of Wendy Way, so instead of walking the coastal trail like I’ve been doing I was obliged to wander the neighborhood rather than risk drowning in the Ginormous Puddle.

Most of the stuff I thought was 10s are 11/12s, which are a little snug still. One of my two favorite dresses ever won’t yet zip up, but I think it actually *is* a ten. My other favorite dress (the green one you made me, Mom) fits very nicely. My *wedding dress* fits. My pinstriped grey suit is…
