Opposite Day

Happy Opposite Day

Today was rough. I’m currently in completely non-descript clothes.  I’m in pants! I have no fun jewelry. I wore socks of a normal uncomfortable length. My hair is in a stinkin ponytail. I could walk down the street completely incognito. If you were in pursuit of me you’d have to ask people, “Have you seen a girl wearing normal clothes, no color whatsoever, walking at a reasonable pace?!” Yeah…good luck finding me, friend. In other news I made breakfast in bed for another soul. I woke up early. I paid attention to my alarm. I did as much as I could one handed with my left hand. I had breakfast for breakfast.  I went into a shop, tried on a beautiful dress with pockets and walked out of the store completely empty handed! I said, “I love you, but we can’t be friends….maybe tomorrow.” I deserve a medal….but I may or may not have I walked into the next store and walked out with a delicious pair of flats….sssssh. Don’t taint my victory!  I walked….not danced down aisles at Target. I went to great pains to be utterly uninteresting. I did not practice my written ambidexterity. I did not read anything braille. I did not play my ukulele….nor my harmonica. I didn’t do any messy project. I thought about changing my nail polish from neon fuchsia to beige…..OH I COULDN’T DO IT! That’s taking it too far. I had cereal plain…no honey lacquer on top. I read a story from the last page to the front! No….that was a lie….it felt right to say out loud. I just lied! I could go on forever! I can’t bring myself to take a picture today….instead I’ll include my daily illustration. Enjoy. I take great comfort in the fact that I can be myself tomorrow. I’m so glad I’m interesting. I could handle myself if I wasn’t.
