Decided to take care of body business tonight: removed bad manicure, slathered on Queen Helene Mint Julep mask, plucked and trimmed eyebrows, groomed nether regions, shaved legs and pits in the shower, put on different nail polish. Feel very smooth and clean. I even lit a nice candle in the bathroom and had water with a lemon wedge, as one does in a spa. Now enjoying a glass of wine and going to read a book.

Outside it’s 27 degrees. I will attempt to go to work tomorrow. But I’m not getting on the bus if it’s not wearing chains.
