I've got a very expensive wardrobe just sitting in the closet because my quarantine-fifteen is more like the quarantine-thirty. It's still too risky to start going back to the gym.

My Dad had a series of portable, hanging wardrobes, labeled 34, 36, 38... up in the attic and would swap them out as needed.

Thanks! Turns out, I just missed the announcement as it was a day earlier than my actual anniversary date. Whoops!

Since my anniversary was on Saturday, I was looking then; didn't think to look on Friday.

17 years!
