Ready And

There's a breathless moment that I love, right before a date.

You've prepared all you wanted to prepare:

• your house is clean (dishes done, toilets wiped down, couch vacuumed, cat hair swept);
• your self is clean (trimming, tweezing, scrubbing, bubbing, good smells applied);
• your props are assembled (the right purse, the new lube, lipbalm, keys, we're ready).

It's like fall, this feeling, or the first warm smell in March. It's possibility. It's humming anticipation.
