Today was the Hickman s car show cosplay event. Such beautiful cars! I found a ford Fairlane, not the same year as my dad’s, but very similar. I slathered myself in sun screen and actually managed to avoid getting burned. I found out yesterday that my divorce is finally official, so Amanda took me out to supper to celebrate. 

When I used to live in Hamilton, my friend up the road and I would get together for game nights. She and her ex and me and mine. There would be nachoes, won ton soup, drinking, and what we all refer to as “boobie dresses”. I had never felt confident enough to wear anything revealing. Nights with Cindy helped me come out of that shell. I still don’t do it often, (this is the second time in 12 years), but I have her to thank for the confidence to wear this. Out. In public.
