Yes, the phrase "day release patient with a four-hour curfew" does spring to mind here.
Oh the sheer, simple joy of wearing a huge-arse pink rose headband and gumboots (wellies to you Brits).
But all good things come to an end ... before the next good thing turns up.
It's getting dark and I should be back in my cell before Nurse Ratchett sets the wardies and dogs on me.
Should I let them drag me back, or escape and heed the lure of more sartorial freedom?
Tomorrow I'll be 44.
Getting older + mad outfits = LIBERAZIONE!!!!!
I hear the dogs baying.
They're on the scent!
Quiet or they'll hear us!
No, I'm leggin' it.
Stuff this four-hour curfew.
Onwards to the next mad-woman outfit. Hooray to freedom!!
No to beige capri pants and boat shoes!
Hooray for Johnny Nice Painter!

May you have the happiest of birthdays...during your escape from the sanitarium. The Wellies are perfect with the body suit!
ReplyDeleteYour post reminded me of a day my DH and his son had been assigned to a carpentry project at a local mental institution. His son needed to use a bathroom and once he was inside the building, the staff had NOT wanted to let him back out.
