What a Way to Come Back

Ciao, amici. I know… it feels like forever since we chatted. Sorry about that. There were some things I needed to deal with, some changes I needed to make. I started reading and liking posts this week. Boy, I missed you all so much! Starting Monday, I intend to start commenting, too. The plan is to be back to my regular schedule then.

Wondering what got me going again? Read on; the explanation will be clear.

“Ahem.”

I look up from the book I’m not reading, past the TV playing a show I’m not watching. Mr. Muse is standing there, leaning against the wall.

Wearing a tuxedo.

A freaking tuxedo. I’m in my jammies. More to the point, I’m in mismatched jammies. The pants are torn, the shirt has a stain. My messy hair is up in a clip. I can’t remember the last time I opened my makeup bag.
