Holiday Gift Guide: (Still) At Home
Soma Pajamas | Sunday Somewhere glasses
Welp, here we are! Still.
As much as this year has been all the awful things (like literally all of them), I have to say: I've loved the total and utter absence of FOMO.

It's enormously validating, and I dread the day when I once again feel like I really *should* put on a pair of pants (ew) and actually...leave the house to...do something (shudder).

I thought about her all day, and when I fell asleep last night I ended up dreaming about her. In my dream, I opened a door in my bedroom that I’d never noticed before, and on the other side was a huge, dark field, with the woman standing in the middle of it. So when I was awoken by the sound of something very, very large banging against the side of the house, I was already primed to be freaked the fuck out.
