A cross stitch piece depicting Cinderella running down the stairs of the castle after the ball. The prince is in the background. Cinderella has auburn hair and is wearing a purple dress with floral bands at the shoulders, waist, and hemline, along with a pink shawl. The castle windows glow yellow and there are potted plants in the background and foreground. It took me 30 years, off and on, and more than 44K stitches to complete.

Sorry but we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 30-35 minutes of pure doomscrolling. Then we’re taking the longest hottest shower ever. Then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while and THEN maybe we’ll take a little ride idk we’ll see.
