Dance of the Bedtime Routine

While the beginning is interpretative there's a discernable structure to the dance. Before giving the male co-dancer his leave he  feigns disinterest by engaging with the female co-dancer. She gives her line, and he is cued to return to the former for a heartfelt embrace. Making his way back to the remaining dancer, he readies himself for his final pose limbs entwined.

    Welcome new slicer. Your post left me thinking of the complexity and yet simplicity of those bedtime hugs (and stalls). Thanks for taking me back to memories....

    Such a creative way to capture this sweet (and sometimes too-long) moment! I may have to write slice about the bedtime routine in my house now!

Too Long Between Hugs

Three years it had been since I've hugged one of my blood relatives. My recollection has it as four Christmases / New Years' ago (2018/2019). I was lucky enough to have an extended stay while I waited for my visa but that had it's own stressors.  Roughly 1000 days since I've seen my big sister in the flesh. And tomorrow I get to hug her neck.  The last time I saw her I didn't have a child and I wasn't married. During these 1000 days she has sent her eldest to boarding school at the top end of the earth. I know it broke her heart a little, and the best we could do was connect via WhatsApp.  I can't wait for my boy to meet his Debbie Debbie Dumpling.  I will be cautiously optimistic until her plane touches down at JFK. Once it does I will soak up every bit of the next 5 days.

Mission Accomplished

No idea what to write about today but I'm committed to this challenge. Post something I've written everyday. I laid in bed this morning while my little boy snuggled at my breast wondering what I would write today. Leave it until later in the day, I thought, inspiration will strike you throughout the day. It didn't. I was busy with chores and my child. Perhaps I'll start a list of things I can write about and then randomly pick one on days that I'm stuck. Perhaps I'm censoring my ideas a little too early. Perhaps writing what's in my head will bring my clarity and calmness to my busy mind. Things to ponder. For now I have accomplished my mission for today - to write. Well done me!!
