Notes to Self

If you go out in your grubby clothes with no makeup on and rush to the store to get a few things after the park that is when you will run into everyone you used to know but have not seen in years. No doubt they are thinking "wow she went downhill." At least wear fitted jeans that are not way too big and a jacket that is not ripped. In fact throw away the too large jeans so that you never wear them again and splurge on some new ones and get them shortened at a tailor. A tiny bit of makeup would also help the situation. Maybe purchasing a new pair of boots that are less worn would help? Go ahead charge a new pair or two. Try to look a little more put together so that people don't think you have completely lost it. It is not good if they walk away thinking "What happened to her?" Especially if there are men involved. I think you are taking this break from work thing way too far. But hey, it's cold and it is fun lounging. Every time this happens you tell yourself that you will not let it happen again but then it does. Guys have always had it easier because they look good in just jeans and T-shirts. Not that becoming a man is the answer. Just remember going out all grubby will likely turn into a host of meetings with people of your past.

Also remember that Emma is STILL not old enough to have an icee of any bright color in your car. I know you have waited a few years since the last major spilling but a little more time is still needed.
