Pajama party

[stgulik]

Yesterday, I called a friend who is recovering at home from a hysterectomy, asking if she felt up to  visitors yet. It's been a few weeks, and we've been texting, but she mostly sleeps and watches Housewives shows. Anyway, she said yes, come on over, but she apologized in advance that she would be wearing pajamas. She's the kind of person who feels less than dressed if she doesn't have on false eyelashes, let alone outdoor clothes!

So ... I went to her house dressed in pajamas, too, to make her feel less conspicuous. She opened the door, and then just stood there and laughed. It was totally worth any stares I might have gotten, walking down the street in red pajamas and a billowing robe.

What a great story! I loved this. Aaaand, you billow! How cool is that???

Yes, I actually billow. Hey, I learned it from the best.

YEs! You are the best friend ever! I would have shown up in jeans and a tshirt, but that's normal for me. My jammies are... uninspiring. Unless it's winter, of course. :D No billowing robes, but I do have a nice thick, heavy terrycloth bathrobe that my daughter swiped from some swanky hotel in New York (which I then swiped form her, since she left it behind). :D

You are truly made of awesome that was sooooo the right thing to do for your friend.

Billowing robes, no matter what thy are made of, wins all the things all the times.

You know this, and I know this, but you are such an awesome friend!

And it's just the sort of thing I'd do, too. :) I have very little shame, especially in the name of giving a sick friend a smile and helping her feel comfortable.

May she have a very speedy recovery!

(Also, I will echo that everything is better with billowing robes. ;) )

That is SO cool! I don't think it would have even occurred to me, but that was totally the right thing to do! I'm sure it made her day... nay, even her week... to see you standing on her doorstep in your jammies.

It made her smile, which was crucial. Also, may I say, it was a treat to sit around in our pjs! So comfortable. I'd do it again in an instant.

There aren't enough metaphors in my extensive collection to show the many ways I love you.

[stgulik.livejournal.com]
