Play it good.
Jun. 3rd, 2022 11:00 pmDinner tonight was surprisingly easy: I stayed out of everything. It was at my brother's place, so it was easy to get into the "not my circus, not my monkeys" mindset when everyone else was busy in the kitchen, everything uncoordinated, trying to manage all the moving parts of plating things up or putting them away. Usually it'd stress me out on basic principle. Tonight, I just stepped away.
That was the easy part. The fun part was talking to my brother's wife about the upcoming wedding. They've just had the civil ceremony, so they're still in the planning stages of the wedding parties and ceremonies. I told her I was still open to going dress shopping with her, assuming she wanted to get married in a dress - I kept reminding her she doesn't have to get married in a dress if she doesn't want to. She can get married in whatever she wants. I asked her, do you know what you want? She said, something white, easy, flowing...
"So you want to get married in a toga," I said, and got a huge laugh, making the entire night worthwhile.
