The robe thing, what an ah-ha moment and how great that the spa had all those options. I recently had a medical situation that required a brief hospitalization starting in the ER. And when I was first taken back to mini-rooms in the ER, the nurse handed me a gown, and asked me to change into it. I said "Hey can I have a larger gown?" and he said "yes" and just grabbed one from the cabinet, snapped it up so it was ready to use, and handed it to me. It was like ... zero drama and exactly how it should be.

I love everything about this. It shouldn’t be a whole THING! And the idea of the world expanding and getting bigger - not us getting smaller to fit into it. 🙌 I teared up reading this.

You are my favourite Substack writer, your thoughts and ideas and the vivid images you evoke of you as a kid, you in the spa, on the plane! at the fab vintage fashion shop! the way you put them down makes me laugh and grimace and sigh then want to share with others, thank you

so relatable and witty! I have had the exact same distractions by funnel cakes after getting kicked off of a ride for being to big. I feel so seen 🩷
