Preemie Hats
Six of thirteen preemie bereavement hats for our next donation to the CPMC NICU. Suzanne said they preferred the micro-preemie and small preemie sizes, hence how tiny these hats are.
Okay, so the other day, a friend was commenting on my monthly reading list and asked when I found the time to read. In the ensuing discussion, she described herself as a “goldilocks” when it comes to reading–she needs to have everything juuuuuust right to be able to focus. This caught my attention because, first, I thought that was a charming way of describing the condition, but, two, while we’ve talked about our reading habits, this is an interesting wrinkle. I’d never really thought about it that way.
So, this is my question to you–are you a Goldilocks kind of reader?
Do you need the light just right, the background noise just so loud but not too loud, the chair just right, the distractions at a minimum?
Or can you open a book at any time and dip right in, whether it’s for twenty seconds, while waiting for the kettle to boil, or indefinitely, like while waiting interminably at the hospital–as long as the book is open in front of your nose, you’re happy to read?
No, I’m definitely not a “Goldilocks”. I’ve been known to have a book in hand while making dinner or to bring one with me into the “reading room” as Hubby calls it. Sure, I’d love to be able to snuggle in a comfy chair by the fire with a blanket and a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, but that’s a rarity.
