Last night I went out and had drinks with a man who knew how to behave. He was a little weird but I liked him and would definitely consider meeting him again. When I was getting ready, I noticed my ankles were swollen. How did that happen? Thankfully, I don’t think he noticed that I was in possession of a lovely set of kankles. I went to bed with my feet elevated on pillows and they seem okay this morning.
On the train ride home, I was wondering about costumes for concerts and plays. Is there only 1 costume that the actor/singer must wear every night of their performance or do they have multiple versions of 1 costume. Do the costumes get washed after every performance? They must because, boy, do performers sweat. And some of those costumes don’t look like the type of thing you can just throw in the ole Whirlpool. Back in December I saw Erasure perform and the lead singer really sweat up a storm. I can’t imagine what they did to that blazer he wore. Dry cleaning is just not going to get the smell of sweat out of it.
The other day, Lisa asked me about Erin’s BBQ.
“Did everyone like your Midori cupcakes?”
“Yeah, they went quickly…”
And then at the same time, Lisa said,”So they went ape shit over the cupcakes” as I said, “They went bananas over the cupcakes.”
Lisa laughed and said, “Isn’t it funny that you said bananas and I said ape shit? They are pretty much the same thing, aren’t they?”
I thought that was silly, I never thought of it in that way.

When your mom speaks to you, there’s a need for a bra.
When a strange man has a date with you, your ankles swell.
Something magical is in the air in Pennsylvania.
I must come visit.
Swollen ankles are a sign of too much dating. Or a fluid retention problem. or something else.
No– I think it had to do with the heat and the shoes I had been wearing.
