nothing to grouse about

nothing to grouse about
 aside 
from the weather

 amazing isnt it 

not the weather 

that
 i have nothing to whine about

 i am looking forward to starting my fridaycations
 even tho half day fridays 
officially
 began with memorial day weekend
 i had just returned from
 2 weeks of vacation
 it didnt seem right 
to take off fridays
 just then

 anyway 
my bosses 
are all on either
 business trips
 or 
vacation
 or
 business trip combined with vacation
 so being here
 in the office 
almost all alone
 is sort of like a vacation

 listen

 can you hear that? 

silence

 its lovely
 no phones ringing 
no meetings or conference calls to deal with
 its really lovely

 my office has air conditioning
 something
 we havent done at home yet
 okay
 so we did get the bedroom air going
 when that nasty heatwave hit 
now
 its 
well
 damp chilly
 vs 
hot humid

 so
 the livingroom air can wait

 what else 

oh 
this past weekend
 i decided i needed a new bra 
i have been shopping at town shop
 for as long as i can remember 
when i asked for my favorite wacoal bra
 i learned i hadnt bought new bra since 2007
 which apparently is when they discontinued the style i like best

 i get that i am no longer 20
  therefore
 not the target audience
 most bra makers aim for

 i love lacy sexy undies 
as much as the next woman
 but
 not
 for all day
 every day

 i dont want to be adjusting the straps
 or 
the underwire
 because
 they're 
digging into my shoulder or ribcage

 it took a woman close to my age
 to find me 
a new favorite 
that
 was 
unadorned
 had smooth cups
 thin/narrow straps 

i tried on a lot of bras
 i hate trying things on
 oops
 almost a whine there

 in the end 
i bought a black and a nude
 that met all my needs 
and 
didnt cost an arm and a leg

 chantelle
 is my new go-to
 bet me
 they discontinue this before i need another

this photo
 reminded me
 of
 a 
bra cup

 its actually 
the stained glass dome
 of
 galleries lafayette
 in
