Wishful Slinking: Sleeper Feather Pink Pyjamas


I've been up until 2 a.m. many a night (morning?) over the past couple of weeks, working away on all things literary--reading, grading, copyediting. 

No complaints, but this late-night schedule has me thinking of something pretty to slink around in whilst thinking about books. I've had this image saved on my computer since last January or so, and publish it here so I can remember it.

Oh, Henry: An Anniversary Gift Exchange

 

Mr. C and I celebrated twenty-nine years of marriage earlier this month. We don't usually give each other gifts, but, curiously, both of us did this year.

I gave Mr. C a teaching shirt (we're both literature professors). It's a handsome brown check, and was designed in Canada, as am I.

Because I'm 100 percent Canadian, I don't have a vote in the upcoming election, so Mr. C bought me one. Actually, he gave me a symbolic vote: a lovely sterling silver VOTE necklace by ByChari, who designed Michelle Obama's gold version of the same.

I have been wearing my silver version daily and intend to war it every day henceforth, as a reminder that women didn't always have the right to vote.
