Cashmere pregnancy

Sunday, February 26, 2023

A cup of hot tea at 10:14pm. The stacks of color coded books. The stacks of laundry, clean and unclean. Still need to find a gynecologist, a hairdresser. Haven’t exercised in weeks. Deep, deep, deep breaths. Left an entire half pizza in the cupboard by mistake. Went to the dentist on Wednesday and cried when I got the bill; the receptionist kindly hugged me but in all honesty it was a touch too long. Falling asleep and/or waking up to thunder and rain. The allure of potted plants, the allure of other lives. Still thinking about the pregnant woman dressed in what appeared to be a fully cashmere ensemble, cream on cream on cream, so chic. My 11 year old just beat me at chess in roughly seven moves. Lauryn Hill: let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind…tell him I love him. Maybe I’ll start insisting that everyone calls me Catherine. Honey roasted peanut butter straight from the jar. By the way, how does anyone ever get anything done? Anyone else drowning? No? Cool cool cool.
