Dear Constanza,
It's not yet six o'clock, but I've snuck away from the living room to write to you earlier than usual because I am on the verge of an evening of food, fun, and alcohol. I imagine that, later tonight, I will be entirely too exhausted after such a thrilling evening to chat with you.
Sigh. This will be my very first Halloween Night at the comic book store! There was a time that making a trip to that place while donning a costume would sound like a perfectly awful evening. Now, however, I see it as a momentous first in Sheldon's and my relationship. After much debate and deliberation, we agreed to go as the "it" couple of Pasadena: Raggedy Ann and Raggedy CP3O. I'm giddy just thinking about it. I can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces when we enter the door.
Really, though, I must get back to Sheldon, Constanza. He is in something of an unenviable position at the moment—physically bound by inhibiting plastic attire. He told me that when he's worn robot costumes in the past, he's started with the feet first, so that his hands would be free as he outfitted himself. However, I reminded him that this time, he had my assistance. Additionally, putting on the costume from head to toe, I reasoned, was more intuitive as, after fastening the feet, he could simply walk out of the door. He was effectively persuaded, and sits in the living room as we speak—half robot and half man—wearing a full head mask, shoulder armor, an adjoining back and chest plate and, most importantly, plastic gloves. However, I confess to you, Constanza, that I had other motives for rendering him so helpless.
Next up: codpiece. The poor thing is certainly going to need my assistance. I'll be happy to give it to him.
XOXOXO AFF
