The coat.

I’m just getting over laryngitis. It’s frustrating not to be able to talk but most people are more than happy to have me shut up, if only temporarily. My voice is slowly coming back but I sound like a squeaky violin on a chalkboard.

I received a hideous coat in the mail. I ordered it on-line and I’m going to have to send it back. I can’t wear it. It’s simply ... hideous. It’s hairy and curly, like one of those exfoliating bath mitts, and shaped like something Bigfoot would wear. It looks almost alive, like it would walk off on its own when I remove it. What in God’s name possessed me to purchase this thing? That will teach me to pay more attention to the descriptions.

I’m down to two cups of coffee a day, one in the morning and one after lunch. Okay, I admit, the coffee is so strong the spoon stands up in it, but I swear I’m not putting the equivalent of four cups of coffee into those two cups. I don’t count the occasional cup of weak Starbucks coffee, however. Not bad, not bad, for an addict.

Haha, sometimes we purchase things and, upon receiving them, have no idea what we've purchased! Too bad about the coat, though. Will you get a new one?

exfoliating coat

I'll get a new one if I can figure out how to send the darn thing back. It's getting cold though. I wonder if it might be improved with a fashionable belt! Lol!
