Kummerspeck. It's a German word that means excess weight gained from emotional overeating. Literally it means, grief bacon. Have you ever heard of something more appropriate? GRIEF BACON! Yeah, that sums up the status of things right right. I'm kummerspeck. Or maybe it's a verb. I'm kummerspecking. A lot.
I'm also having massive brain lag. As in, my brain can't seem to keep up with things. I'm just behind all the time, thinking "what?? how did this happen?" It's for everything too, not just the fact that it's Friday again. I haven't caught up to the fact that it's Memorial Day this weekend. Or that my kids are only two weeks away from being out for Summer break. Or that my jeans don't fit anymore because of aforementioned kummerspecking. Really, I'm not sure I've actually caught up to the fact that we have been quarantined for nearly two months and now have to wear masks everywhere. I think I need to hit the health food store and try to get some brain-speeding-up supplements. Stat.
Today we are getting in my new answer to, "I've got to do better than a tee shirt and jeans every day." Don't get me wrong, I love tee shirts and jeans, but I feel like I can stand to at least kick it up a little. This new line we are getting in has a name that isn't going to win any awards (Natural Life), but, they do make an adorable top that is done in some ecologically conscious modal jersey blend that feels great. It's a tee shirt, but better. Oh, and the even better part? It is only $44. Perfect right?
Have a great Friday, hope you have a Friday evening glass of wine in your future, and a lovely long weekend ahead!
