Anatomy of a Dress

Last night Anna and I had a long talk while she knitted a Koolhaas hat for me and the tears ran out the far corners of my eyes and down my cheeks. “I’m so sorry I have been kind of out of it and crappy this past week,” I apologized, near the end.
“Don’t be silly! We wanted you to come here to have the silence and space to do whatever kind of rest or work you needed to do.”
“I know, but I feel like I’ve just been shuffling around and doing your dishes all week.”
“Well, good! No one here likes to do dishes. Seriously, you don’t have to entertain us. You are fine. We’re just happy you’re here.” And the tears started anew.

The things 5 days with a huge bathtub will do for a person’s soul.
