Welcome to Friday in a week that felt like I accomplished absolutely nothing but the minimum. Although I did manage to get proselytized by someone in the arts and crafts section in Walmart while I was trying to buy a paintbrush.

So that was fun.

I started a new blog series that I am scared might be more than I can handle. It’s about dressing the different body shapes.

It begins with the rectangle body shape because that is the one that I have the most experience with, but I will move on to the other main shapes weekly (hopefully). It depends on how they come together for me, so be on the lookout for them.

If you are looking for the best clothes for a rectangle body shape then this post may be for you. I honestly wasn’t going to go down this road because I knew that it would take a lot of time and might not be something that I could get together in less than a week.

But I thought I would start with the easiest body shape, the rectangle body type. I say easiest for a couple of reasons. One is that it is my own shape so I have a pretty good idea of how to dress it (with a few mishaps here and there), and secondly, it is not a shape that needs to be balanced out.

If you are wondering what I mean by that, a rectangle is basically straight up and down with minimal curves so the upper and lower portions of your body present an already balanced silhouette.

Hallelujah.

Since the pandemic, she has been going to bed really, really late. It was like a weird mental shift that I heard a lot of teens went through.

The girls and I were supposed to go get our flu shots today but Roo woke with a headache. I’m not sure if she actually had one or if she was trying to get out of getting her shot because she is terrified of needles.

It’s always a huge ordeal and I wasn’t dealing with that shit today on top of the headache. That’s way too much drama for my brain right now.

I gave up and ordered take out tonight because I am tired. I tried to keep mine healthier by getting a bowl from Freshii. It’s funny how eating food that is good for you can make you feel so much better just minutes after eating.

At the rate we are going I feel like I am going to have to keep dipping into my summer wardrobe. Will it be winter before I get to use all of my fall stuff? This weather is crazy.

Watch, now that I said that winter is going to be the coldest on record. It wouldn’t surprise me. I am partial to cold any day of the year, but some of these colds snaps over the last few years have been brutal.
