Awkward

Hi friends! Yes, I'm still alive. No, I don't really feel like blogging still. Just can't shake this funk. But I thought I'd share a funny, awkward moment from my day today.

Background information: I have a big, long, black puffy winter coat like 98% of all women. However, mine has a defective zipper that always gets stuck at the bottom. Half the time I just step in and out of my coat like a small child. One of Matt's husbandly duties involves fixing my zipper regularly. He tells me to "just pull on it" but I am never successful.

So anyway, my zipper got stuck again yesterday so I've been stepping in and out of my coat. Which I usually don't care about, since I'm in the privacy of my apartment or my office. But today, I was at a training. Slightly embarrassing. At the end of the day, as I'm stepping into my coat in front of a room full of my professional peers, I loudly proclaimed "See, this is the problem with my husband being gone. Matt is the only person who can really rip open my zippers!" *cricket, cricket*

No sooner had it exited my mouth than I realized what it sounded like. Hahaha. My coworkers burst out laughing and made comments such as "DOWN GIRL" and "ARE YOU THAT HARD UP ALREADY? YOU'VE GOT A LONG TIME TO WAIT STILL!" while I giggled nonstop.

Really, though ... I can't get my zipper unstuck. It's hard being alone these days.

I have a sweater like that. I sweat my ass off when I can't get it off because I am mortified to either be seen struggling with a zipper when I'm clearly an adult and I know someone will make some asshole comment about pulling a sweater over my head that I could simply zip off!!

I hope you're doing alright - is there anything I can do? Just let me know, girlfriend! You're in my thoughts! xoxo
