Bow Tie o’ the Day brings brass musical instruments for playing Christmas music in regal style. One Tie o’ the Day gives us more holiday balls. Three Ties o’ the Day tell us “Merry Christmas.” Backwards. And the final Tie o’ the Day echoes the grouchy sentiments of Hat o’ the Day. Backwards, both.
The mirrored words are, of course, backwards. I meant to do that. No, really I did. I’m making a point about how my brand new stoopid arm sling has got me doing even more things the wrong way. It is yet another obstacle to movement. I’ve been griping to you about my right shoulder, which has only gotten worse with physical therapy. You’d think that since I’m left handed, my right shoulder wouldn’t keep me from doing basic things– like opening pickle jars or turning a difficult doorknob. The problem is this: The only things I do with my left hand are eat and write. That’s it. So I am basically right-handed, which means I’m mostly right-shouldered. Which means my left hand is not all that automatic about small, normal, everyday tasks. This is my predicament. This is what I’m BAH HUMBUGGING about today. This is what I’m plain ol’ BUGGING y’all about in these posts.
But I think the photos I post of holiday neckwear are still worth taking a gander at, even if you don’t read the accompanying complaining words. I can’t believe we’ll be done with Christmas neckwear posts in just a week. And then Kwanzaa’s coming up. I also still need to write the Hanukkah post I didn’t get to write during Hanukkah, cuz I had a bipolar issue. Apparently, holidays never end– even when they’re over.
HOLIDAY TIE TALLY: 68 Bow ties. 136 Neckties.
