Vacation, day two

[clevermanka]

I didn't get as much sewing done as I wanted yesterday, but I still had a very good vacation day. Except there at the very end of it. Details in mo'.

Ran some errands, did a bit of responsible adult shopping (groceries, hardware store), then went downtown for the fun stuff. I got two expensive, practical bras (Wacoal brand, will wear like iron and totally worth the $42 each price tags, despite not being very exciting to look at) and two cheap novelty bras with matching panties! It's been ages since I bought a novelty bra, much less a novelty bra with matching panty. Going down to a D cup really opened up the shopping possibilities. Or maybe, with breast implants being so common these days, bra manufacturers are making more D cup bras in cute designs.

(Novelty bra: Under $25, with cute/amusing decor details like polka dot fabric, frilly lace, and minimal quality/control. These bras will last at most one or two years, unlike the Wacoals, which will last for six or more years if hand-washed and properly cared for.)

After the bra shopping, I met the newly-coiffed cedarsong and everflame for drinks and dinner. Much needed tipsy non-faire time. Their new hairdos look faboo.

Then I came home and got a migraine. It hit me like POW and I was barely able to make it up the stairs. It was one of those no-lights no-noise please migraines. The last one I had like this was more than five years ago. This morning I feel a lot better, but still just a wee bit delicate. I slept for a really long time.

Now there's just enough time to slurp down the last of my coffee and go run another errand (need some zippers!) before our pedicure appointment. I have to say I'm not thrilled with the idea of running around in flip-flop shoes today. Brrrrr.

Yay... for the shopping stuff (Weavers?)

and tipsy time. I'm glad you're enjoying your vacation.. and envious.

Damn the cold and the front that moved in with migraine badness. I was fortunate to take a Benadryl last night and so think I avoided the usual rain front congestion today.

If you should have some time for a bit o' socializing, I'd love to see you sometime soon. I'm really socialized out but I'd make an exception for a nice teatime or a drinky.

I've found that this is probably the case.

I've also noticed, while bra shopping with the teenager, that they put so much padding in the cheapy novelty bras that she buys a D when she's actually a comfortable C in a good, supportive bra. But at her age it's all about being able to brag about being a D cup, I think.

I have been happy to find more supportive D cups on the shelves for myself lately.

I never even fully realized the painfulness of shopping for bras until the magical elixir that transformed me into a DD from a B.

I'm kind of miss the girls since I lost them again thanks to the CMD, but bra shopping is soooo much easier.

Sorry about the migraine. Thank goodness you don't have to experience that level of pain that often.

I consider myself very lucky that I don't get them nearly as often as you do...headaches, that is. Not necessarily bras.

I'd love to know what you were thinking in the 2nd one. The almost raised eyebrow gets me.

Keep taking care of you!

I was probably thinking something like "I am SO tired of having my picture taken."

Dude. I'm SO sorry about your headache! I had no idea! I'm glad you were feeling better.... and that the foray into Home Depot didn't bring it back!

I just thought, WHY didn't I plan a day trip to Lawrence during their vacation???? oh, um, cause they didn't ask me.
I guess it's cool I ended up working two Days this week then.

I'm trying to figure out if you're being passive aggressive here. Please say you aren't...

Oh I wasn't, really. Just stupid. I've had a week, and I've missed you guys online. Really though I'm sorry it came out that way. I heart you and hope you're having a lovely break.

Boo for bad weeks. Missing you, too!
