Making it Work

Making it work is something I am a professional at. Wealthy people wouldn’t accept my ways but I am thankful God gave me a creative mind. While stuck at home during the pandemic I have been shopping online. Just to be clear I am not a fan of shopping in general even less so online. I rarely – if ever – pay full price for anything, even when food shopping I look for the clearance racks so I can afford to eat. But I received – they sucked me in – coupons to a plus size clothing store online and once I bought from them and saved two to three what I actually paid on the clothing they sent me another coupon, which I consumed in much the same way. So all together it would have been near $500 retail and I paid just under $100. Unfortunately there are no shoes in the haul as they are rarely on that good of a sale within my width and size range. (Why did God give such a short person such large wide feet?)

Now I sit to write the reviews on the items I purchased, washed and only now – two weeks later – am trying on. I never cease to be amazed at how designers and seamstresses cannot get plus size clothing right. Just like any normal size lady is differently shaped and proportioned no larger size lady is the same either. Sure we have more meat on our bones and for many thicker bones to start with.

And of course I just wrote a whole bunch more to this blog and the computer screen minimized and lost it … I think I shall sign off for today.

Life best lived

I’ve slacked a bit on my blog.

Life moves faster and yet slower than I would like.

This past weekend and a good chunk of next two days will be devoted to putting in my garden; veggies (plant and seed), flowers and herbs with more seed packets in the mail.

When my legs swell I take time to prop them em and watch ’em shrink.

I ordered in 3 times in 4 days. I shouldn’t be the only one carrying the weight during isolation. I made salad mix and will be consuming that over next two days.

I haven’t forgotten my goals, I am just living as life comes. I did decide on my degree and am now awaiting the advisor’s response.

Now its 2426 and time for bed. Wish I had the energy for a movie now that I have a TV but my cankles are screaming R_E_S_T. I shall obey.
