In the spirit of looking for silver linings in this poop-filled dumpster that is 2020, I’m kind of loving the way quarantine and remote working has changed my out-of-the-house style.

Around mid-June, we started venturing out to restaurants and to hang out with small groups of friends (very carefully, outside only). For me, of course, 75% of the excitement about leaving the house was the excuse to “dress up,” but I’m finding that my new version of “dressing up” leans more toward comfort than it used to. I mean, wide-leg elastic waist pants to go out to dinner?! Who even am I?! (Someone who doesn’t want high-waist jeans digging into her belly full of pizza and wine, that’s who.)

Fun fact about me: I have a freaky talent for finding four-leaf clovers. I used to find them all the time as a kid. Even if I wasn’t trying to find them – I could just be walking along, glance down, and oh! There’s one! This is not a joke. It happened multiple times.

As an adult, I haven’t really added much to my clover collection. Maybe because my eyes are farther from the ground now than they were when I was 10 (but only slightly). Or maybe because I live in a city so there’s less green in my environment, or (most likely) I’m just a boring grownup with too many responsibilities who’s forgotten how to feel fulfilled by doing things that aren’t “productive.”

Last weekend we took a walk around Broad Ripple Park and there were tons of clover patches, so I decided to get reacquainted with my inner child, and whaddayaknow, I’ve still got it! Found 2 lucky clovers in about 15 minutes of searching. Not gonna lie, it was pretty fun. 🙂

So consider this my way of encouraging you to do something pointless that brings you joy. Good luck.
