Currently Sparking Joy.

Just this one thing, actually.

I’m currently on a liquid diet in preparation for my first ever colonoscopy¹ which is tomorrow. So far my main takeaway is that this is BORING. When you take solid food out of your day you end wandering around like, what can I chew on? Nothing? What about that? No? Ooh, I could really go for some…NO. I have to keep mentally slapping food away from me because right now every single solid food sounds like something I could really go for. I’m not sure how to fill this brain space so why don’t I tell you about a dumb thing I just bought that is sparking some joy? This is not even just a thing I like, but a thing that is bringing me a tiny shred of happiness instead of a large peanut butter cookie with…GODDAMMIT.

Okay, if you were a follower of the blog you know I have a fair collection of David Bowie t-shirts. I’m always keeping an eye out for the next one and Lucky Brand is aware of this and occasionally sends me an email all, looky here lady. You like this one?

I was not certain I liked it but I didn’t not like it because the Aladdin Sane of it all is good but I really wasn’t sure about the floral addition. I waited. It went on sale. I waited more. It went on more sale. Finally I snapped and bought it.

Y’all, the flowers are embroidered on! It’s not just printed it’s fancy and I think it’s really fun. It arrived this morning and I put it on and haven’t taken it off since. I’m wearing a medium and it’s unisex (thus oversized) but I would rather a tee be slight big than too small. Anyway, I love it and it’s making me happy.

Also, I would still very much like something to eat.

1. Substack friends, do we want to hear about this whole ordeal? I’m not sure if it’s a topic for the newsletter but we all gotta do it, right?
