The clothes thing is a bummer. Do you get any sort of feeling before you change, like as a warning? And hm, if you wanted to keep your Xanax on you, it sounds like youâd need some sort of bag that wouldnât be hulked. Not a crossbody, thatâd definitely be hulked but⊠oh, maybe a tote?
My heart starts beating fast and I get kind of anxious/nauseous/short of breath, but I'm going to try to do some breathing exercises next time to see if I can stop it.
A tote is a great idea, though! They make so many nice, fashionable ones! I love a tote!

It can be anything, really? The time in the shop, I had tripped the alarm and the loud sound was kind of overwhelming. This time around, I was stressing about school stuff (I have a virtual appointment with an academic advisor btw)? I think I'm just stressed out in general, which is probably why I was stuck in the middle of an Animorphs transformation for so long?
Ooooh, that's so helpful! Thank you! Do you have one that's big enough to carry some extra clothes, just in case? Is there a brand you'd recommend?
Oh shoot, you move fast. Did Parson set you up with all that? Stressful, but really exciting. I saw Harris was looking for part-time work, maybe once you get help with the shop, youâll have less stress on your plate?
Yes, I have just the thing: Kirkland Signature Mesh Shopper Bag. It has a zip top so nobody will see/jack your underwear. As far as brands go, LL Bean does nice ones. Generally youâll want to go with totes from grocery stores and markets, like Trader Joeâs or that natural food market in Colchester, because you want a really thick bag thatâll stand up to wear and tear. The worst thing is when youâre walking around and your tote bag rips and your water bottle, wallet, keys, phone, sunglasses case, first aid kit, emergency sewing kit, pencil case, spare socks, travel-sized cologne, Aquaphor, Gun Oil H2O, and sudoku book fall out. Like great, lmfao.
I'm very organized! Also I will forget to do anything I don't do immediately while it's fresh in my brain. I wouldn't have known anything about any of it if it weren't for you and Parson, thank you! I'm going to hire Harris and see if that helps though, yes. I've been trying to do everything myself, but I'm going to try to learn to delegate for my own mental and physical health.
See? You know so much about this already. I want to learn from a master of totes. I feel like a whole new world of storage possibilities is opening up to me!
Delegation! đȘ And Harris is a good kid. Curious and very into books, I think heâll be really helpful.
And oh yeah, once you get yourself a tote bag, youâre never going back to pockets. Although depending on the situation, you wonât want to put everything in your tote. For example, casual out and about, slap on a carabiner for your keys. Back belt loop if you want to say âIâm a reserved gentleman,â front belt loop if youâre trying to let the people know youâre a dog, but you can be tamed, if you know what I mean. Itâs all about accessories.
I think so, too. He seems nice! Also, his mother is lovely.
Oooooh, I'm taking notes on all of this. I have SO much to learn! Carabiners have always looked very practical, but I wasn't sure if I could pull it off.
You can definitely pull it off, you have strong brows and that stubble thing going for you. But not with your Wes Anderson fits. [âŠ] Although maybe you could! Iâd be interested in seeing it.
Are you intending on ditching the suits completely? Because keeping them but having other clothes to switch things up could be nice, too. Some days you might want to be a rugged Buck Mason mid-century writerman, other days you just gotta be a Wes Anderson shopkeeper.
That's very true! I don't think I'll get rid of them completely, just because I'll probably never own anything as fancy ever again. It would be nice to have choices, though!
Like, I would love to own a hoodie? I don't have a hoodie and they look so cozy.
[âŠ] Should we get matching hoodies? Something obnoxious. [âŠ] Kidding about it being obnoxious not really but Iâd be down to match with you. Like we can get matching Harvard hoodies to be obnoxious as a joke, haha.

All right, that sounds good! And in the meantime, if you think of anything, I'm right down the hall.
I "hulk out of them" (thank you, Eureka, for that phrasing). It's embarrassing! But yet another reason to go shopping for new clothes.
