…Rolling Stone!
July 30, 2025, I got dressed and went to “work” at the library. I toiled for a good hour and a half and then split because the internet connection sucked. Always seeking to be seen, I went to a park and did this photo shoot and hit the mall. I needed to get some watch batteries changed and of course, enjoyed browsing for lingerie, dresses, etc. And as you can guess, I now own two more sundresses! Then I headed home and remained “myself” for a few more hours. I am not sure if this is more of an addiction, being who I am, all of that, none of that or what. All I know is it still fills those frequent gaps in my head…and never, ever gets old.
Do you really understand what it’s like walking about like this?
With a grandchild on the horizon, it has become necessary for me to clear some space in our home. So, as you can see here, I did what I call a “space purge” of my wardrobe. I had to basically empty a dresser (which was very full), as we will be turning an unused guest bedroom into a nursery. We don’t want my wig heads, dresses, etc. stuffing a closet and dresser in a room that will be used when the baby is there. This is the result. For example, I purged only a few dresses because they are in a bin and a temporary closet, and it didn’t matter of there were two dresses or the over one hundred because they took up the same amount of space. Barely a dent was made in the overall wardrobe, but needed space was created. Off to donate!
August 1, 2025, back to my decade long post at The Cleveland Museum of Art’s MIX! event. Simply put, I still look around this amazing world class facility and cannot believe I am such an integral part of all of this. The love and joy at the event and for me, in particular, is wonderful! I saw friend after friend. I had one great interaction after another. After my shift, I enjoyed the rest of the event with friends, laughing and dancing.
Prior I stopped at Bar Italia and enjoyed a glass of wine and my meal. The fact that I am simply treated the way I am by everyone I interact with remains life affirming.
The highlight of my evening was an interaction with a WONDERFUL woman who is the chief meteorologist for a local TV station. I was on the dance floor with a friend, as was she. She danced over to me, held out her hand and she and I danced together for a while (she led). Then she leaned in and whispered into my ear that I was beautiful. So kind! We all danced together for a while and then we chatted a bit (as best as we could with the music blaring). As I said farewell, she gave me a big hug, and I thanked her for her amazing kindness. I think I am up to about six female local TV personalities that now know me!
In her last post ‘Here Today, Gone Tomorrow’ Amanda discussed how the impact of events in our ‘normal’ lives can conspire against our feminine lives and result in sudden and unexplained disappearance from the latter. Unfortunately, in a sad twist of fate, Amanda now finds herself in that position and a family crisis has meant that she has had to draw this side of her life to a close for the foreseeable future and with immediate effect. She has asked me to reassure you that she is fine but now needs to give her full attention to those closest to her and this unfortunately means that she will be unable to respond to any comments left on today’s post.
