We all cope in different ways, friend. Some of us in sweatpants, some of us in wedding dresses. <3

I love this and I will do this too. At this moment I am at a loss for what the other thigh will wear, but I will work on it.

I’m doing this tomorrow without explanation. Then I’m gonna meander into the background of all my teenaged sons’ zoom meetings. I’m so excited!
