Is jeans and a t-shirt too broad? Because I kind of already do that. Sometimes lately just a tie-dye shirt, other times a cute graphic tee. Very fond of sequins and sparkles, and butterflies.
So much so, that I have worn through the inside heel of one of my sparkliest shoes. Just the one shoe?! Do I step harder with that foot? Not sure if it’s my dominant foot. Maybe. You can’t tell from the outside. It’s just the lining inside.
But yeah, I own a couple blouses that sometimes see rotation, and I bought that dress I wore for Mother’s Day, and the pre-Mother’s-Day dress-event at work. I am girly up to a point. Been enjoying my press-ons. They were a hit last Halloween, so I just kept going. I like makeup from time to time. I color my hair for vanity’s sake. Been diggin that. Don’t style it much or use too many products on it. The girlier details to my t-shirts and sometimes embroidery or sparkles on my jeans are about as feminine as I typically get.
Today was SO MUCH BETTER than yesterday. I woke up feeling better than I did upon waking yesterday. Maybe further away from head cold symptoms. That could be a factor. But I got a lot done prior to driving to work. Got there early enough to try on some clothes. And I don’t recall if I had an over-piece on the last time I tried on a certain denim jacket. Before, the torso fit, but the sleeves were short. Today, the sleeves were PERFECT!
Which could be a “first-world problem.” I had intended not to leave anything on hold, just put it back out, and let the customers do with it what they would. LOL. Trying NOT to buy more clothes. I do have a pile to donate, and many to clean and probably donate, as well. So many things that are now too big.
But, was it an added layer under the jacket last time, or have I lost more weight? One of my coworkers seemed to think it was weight loss. She said I looked like I had lost more, recently.
Not complaining about THAT, if that’s the case. Had been worried I’d stalled, and might be stuck at my present size, without more lifestyle changes, or stepping up my outdoor walking game again.
I confessed to my coworker about the 2 AM tacos last night, but dang, I got FIERCELY hungry out of NOWHERE. And, zero net carb tortillas. But still. Calories is calories. I gotta watch that.
I did eat a LITTLE late tonight, too, but I needed some time to rev up into a state that would allow me to do some chopping, and various other prepping. Made something pretty tasty. May share the pic tomorrow. Heavy on the veggies. Salt, pepper, and hot sauces. Lots left for breakfast.
Might ask about increasing my antidepressant again, if that’s a possibility. Not JUST because it has appetite suppression qualities, but also because The Funk has been strong with this one, lately. Was it all post-birthday-let-down? Maybe not. Heavy bad thoughts I think last night or the night before. Chilling my wrist with my icy spill-proof water bottle. That helped. IYKYK.
Speaking of chilly… I nearly thought the new car Jerry’s AC had died. The open windows accomplished way more than what I got out of the vents, when I tried those first. Gave up and just enjoyed the breeze from outside.
But once I was done with work, he got nice and frosty. Maybe he was just a bit overwhelmed. It was REALLY hot, and I’d had the windows rolled up, with Jerry parked in the sun, out front.
So, YAY AC!!!
What else to share?
A plethora of lads showing interest again with the dating apps. Broad spectrum of ages. Seems like even among the ones who like plus-size babes, I get more interest the more I lose. Unless that’s my imagination?
Still having fun with tumblr. Shared that photo of me in the fancier vampire fangs this morning, and a scene from Wishful Sinful tonight.
Not sure if I made even MORE edits beyond the version that I have saved in Google Docs. I might have. I did spot some bits of repetitive word-choice there and could have KICKED myself, because that’s something that irritates me when I’m reading. I guess I could have looked through the Word doc version for bits to quote. Maybe I will do that next time. They both have the edit feature to search for a certain word or phrase, for when I want to find a particular scene.
Actually made some cheaty changes before I posted the latest bit. Small ones. And then realized after posting that I would have thrown off the word count. But it’s very close. Alas.
At some point, I will share (to tumblr) direct links to the book and short story, on Amazon. May wait until I do some kind of countdown sale on them, which I am thinking would be fun, for once Mystery Train is out.
Back to the clothes. There was also a swimsuit cover-up that I thought might not look right on me. I’d mostly picked it for the color (vivid red-violet), since my new top and bottom are solid black. Wanted that pop of color. Thought it might be too big. It poufs on the hanger. But it cinches under the bust or in that general area. Fit SO well and looked AMAZING.
Then, we had gotten in a new graphic tee with some of my fave things on it. AND I discovered the raincoat I had eyed when it was full-price, made it to Clearance. But Clearance is only 50% off right now, then I would get another 20% off of that. Still kinda pricey. But it’s cute. Like a muted blush? Mauve-ish?
Right now, they are all awaiting further judgment.
Bills to pay, and things desired with money that should be socked away into savings, like a plane ticket for kiddo, or (eventually) a new PC, etc. The PC, I don’t know. We had envisioned a gaming PC for me, for if I decided to get back into that. But will I? Who knows? It would be good to have one that could run the next version of Windows, I imagine, so I could get updates (as frustrating as they are to go through).
I am beginning to run out of steam. But yowza it’s a little late.
Looked like rain the whole way home, and they had said chance of thunderstorms. Nothin. Unless I missed all of it listening to Spotify? Doubtful. Alors. I do enjoy a good, rousing storm, once I am safely at home. Especially the point where it fades to just rain. So good for sleeping.
OH it did rain yesterday, and we saw a gorgeous rainbow, as we all walked out, after work.
That was fun.
We will have to use our imagination for tonight.
Sleep well!
Happy solstice, even if the day of it ended here, about a half an hour ago.
All the Bright and Sparkly Things
