“You must understand— there is no space. But I make space. For the vanity.“ Delicious, Alissa.

I love this. Love seeing the vanity in its prime real estate and reading your musings on anticipation.

Thank you for appreciating it, Karen! I've never been able to buy the "live in the now" adage. The past and future are just more fun.

Alissa, what a delightful ride ❤️ and wonderful follow up to the last thriller! I especially loved this: “I’ve mastered ignoring in these ten sitting minutes, much to my husband’s frustration. His idles are in the bathroom, door closed. Mine are in the wide open, but I make myself immutable.” You could be my wife!

Ah, James. What a wonder you are for seeing the point in such a messy first take. And I love that your wife assumes this pose too. Please give her my regards.
