Mornin’ all. Almost dawn here after an hour of balconatin’ in the cool. Last hour was 69/20 (snerk), the latest report is 68/20, with a projected high of 80/27. Definitely the first day-ish of Fall. Almost cloudless skies & the few stars were pretty. I dressed for the beach but may not have the bravery to go in the chill until mid-morning. Which has political implications around here. Other than that and a couple phone calls, have no real _plans du jour_. I hate it when … - I bite my lip, which raises a welt which makes biting the same spot more likely. - I _almost_ fit through a wide-open doorway and collide with the jamb. Despite being skinny. - I’m trying to do some task silently and some object clanks into something else. - Hop in the car to go to X then make a turn as if going to Y instead. My SS should be third Wed but not until Nov they tell me. Which seems a month late for a Oct 1 start but we’ll know for sure in a couple days. Turning to the last of yesterday’s MMPs: > [@The pumpkin spice (bleck!) MMP \[Old\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-pumpkin-spice-bleck-mmp-old/991304/362): > > I still have a pair of 4 inch strappy fuck-me heels that I just can’t give up. Every time I run across them I marvel at how well I could strut my stuff with them. I can still remember the glorious sound of that guy walking into a lamppost while turning around to watch me walk by. Her Ladyship has a closet-ful of 4" heels & sandals. Which is all her small feet could ever handle. Plus a couple of 6" with a 2" platform, so 4" rise. Most of which predate me, so I didn’t need to pay for them, but do still get to look at her and them in combination. Win! I’ve not walked into a lamppost for her, but that’s mostly because I’m usually walking the same way she is. But often a few feet behind for some reason. 😁 :leer: > [@The pumpkin spice (bleck!)

The “less dresses and heels” thing predates COVID & WFH by a lot. I’ve been seeing it growing for 20+ years. IMO the combo of little girls not being dolled up by Mom to go to church as much, and lots more girls being raised to not be dainty flowers has led to more lacrosse chicks in lululemon & sneakers and fewer fainting belles in frills & lace. Then those women get out of school and wear business casual. But yeah, WFH + COVID really put the stake in dress-up for a lot of people, both male & female. Getting past “PJs in public” seems to be a bridge too far for a whole lotta people nowadays. > [@The pumpkin spice (bleck!)

Just sunglasses, water bottle, and a smile, Honey. 😁 Enjoy your weekend **Shoe**! And good luck with the _ahem_-spensary. 🙂 Welp, I’ve been chased indoors mostly by sunrise and a bit by the lingering cool despite my tracksuit, so it’s indoors for awhile. Still not sure about beaching early. Cheers all and happy Moanday!! --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-hate-when-i-do-that-in-the-mmp-old/991640)._
