Yesterday I helped one of my kids prepare for a party I was invited to but couldn't attend because I was meeting friends for a drink but had to leave early to go to a game I already had tickets to see but left during the 3rd quarter so I could see my Tri-Ess group before they broke up the meeting giving me time enough to get home and help care for my wife who wasn't feeling well.
My life is like that, a lot, and it seems that there aren't many times I can fully devote myself to anything without the possibility of being interrupted by another obligation. So it was a nice revelation that when I dress en femme, I really like to do it fully and for an extended period. With proper planning it is one of those things that I can fall into 100%. My wife understands that I need these opportunities occasionally but I don't think either one of us recognized this aspect of it. The value of time spent on a manicure, the use of adhesives and a spray of perfume all contribute to that sense of full involvement that is missing much of the rest of the time in my life.
