Month in Review: October 22

Happy November. October is a blur for me. I didn’t do much cuz covid and post-covid kicked my butt…but I DID take a picture almost every day looking down from the driveway towards the pond below, I wanted to show the progression of season. On the last day of September I flew

Plus Size Outfit of the Day ~ November 7, 2022

I’m back! But I’m So Disappointed. Up til the landscaper came today there was a beautiful thick carpet of fallen leaves on the patio! I was so excited to come home and take a picture in them – and I came to find the patio all bare 🙁 Boo. I could have

Okay, now THERE’S a Fashion Schlub! Ha. Wow. Ha. Let’s just focus on the positive, shall we? Two points for pattern mixing. Polka dots + plaid. It’s hard to see in the photo, but the shirt has a thin line of sort of chestnutty mustard. I’d like the pairing even without that,

This was one of THOSE days. Where half the day you’re like RUH-ROH something is seriously effed up and while it’s not EXACTLY my fault I think I’m gonna be held responsible for it and why do I always have to feel this way?? And then you discover it was really just

Back to work tra la la. Cough cough. It’s cool enough for some light layering, which is lovely. I really got nothing else. OH. Yeah. It’s only Tuesday and I’m already a day behind. OH. And BTS’ big news. They decided on their own to NOT wait for the razzinfrazzin government to

Work from Home Day 2. Had to put on clothes for a Zoom call. But didn’t have to put on shoes! Hee hee. It was nice not having to talk all day. Yesterday was exhausting with all the running around: flat tire, to work, back home, to doctor, to pharmacy, back home

After a week of coviding, I attempted to head back to work this morning (with a side of flat tire), only to be kicked to the curb. Return to work fail. Too much coughing. Talking leads to coughing, coughing leads to dizziness. It was not a great situation but. I gave it

Month in Review: September 2022

As the recent months have been, September was relatively uneventful. I did turn 62, which is a significant birthday for me. It means that I COULD start collecting social security and retirement money. I’m NOT yet, but I COULD. It’s nice feeling there’s a Plan B. The birthday itself was quiet. A

It Was a Day. But really…all those poor people that got hit hard for Hurricane Ian, my heart goes out to them. At the last minute it shifted west a bit and Katie was saved from the hard hit she expected – she was without power for a little over 24 hours

I may as well just wear this dress every day. It feels like I already do. When I look at my TikTok profile it’s like 3:1 green polka dot dress to anything else. I’m in that “am I going? aren’t I going?” limbo…I was supposed to be flying down to Katie’s in

Guh. I hit the wall on Wednesday before I could get this posted. Sleep is a little challenging lately. I’m TIRED. I can’t stay AWAKE in the evening. I fall asleep practically as soon as I close my eyes. But then I wake up repeatedly through the night. And THE DREAMS! My

First, apologies for the upcoming cell phone pictures. It’s just a (much) faster process than using the nice camera and right now…being able to cut 10-15 minutes from one place and add it to another is…a help. I can (maybe. on a good day.) write two Korean sentences either in an assignment

Annnnnd fall is right around the corner! How can I tell? THE BLUE CHAMBRAY SHIRT IS BACK. It was ever so slightly on the cool side this morning when I checked Weather Kitty for how I should dress weather appropriate. However, by the afternoon it was needlessly warm and humid. And now

I did not disappear again! We Had our Adventureland (amusement park) event last night and by the time I got home I was sweat-soaked and crippled, ha ha. I take pictures there, so I just loop around and around and around the park for three hours. Walked 2 miles, which is a

Ooh! So many Bettyes! I wonder how many times, really, I’ve worn this dress. I bought it in June of 2017. And I wear it a lot. A LOT. I’m so hungry. Squirrel. I have an anxiety hangover from yesterday and now just feel sorta crashy. And hungry. Dress: Junarose, 22. 2017

Annnnd she’s back. Summer vacay’s over, time to get back TO it. TODAY, I am at high anxiety. With a side of low blood sugar jitters. NOT a good way to go into the afternoon with all I need to do. Mondays are “dialogue reading” in my Korean group. Usually there’s just

Month in Review: August 2022

Hello, Friends! I’ve been MIA for a bit and thought I would kick-off my return with a little catch-up of what I’ve been up to. Not much. Ha. Not much is what I’ve been up to. August is when the heat finally found us here in NY for real so I mostly
