Pic time!

Got my first robe (not Natori, I loved this color and it was cheaper )

And I wore one of the ASTR bodysuits yesterday, on a date. Paired with high waisted jeans

Gorgeous and slender...

Very pretty!

@GreenTealael ... you're fridge pic in the Challenge thread made me think ..."if @sideeye and I are the same person, @GreenTealael and I are the polar opposite version of each other"

Second robe has arrived. I think I like the long length best. Going to buy a 3rd to leave at boo's (yes, shopping might be my transfer addiction )

Definitely like the longer kimono one - keep it! I’ll try to get a photo of the Natori robe tomorrow, I’m loving the drape on it and also it’s got pockets. I love pockets.

I’m hitting this really weird phase where I’m just terribly bored all the time. I’ve had about six months where mental activity/planning has been a huge component of my life - buying property, dealing with a friebd’s sickness, adjusting to a new role, a lot of travel. Prior to that was the whole pre/post op obsession, probably another good 9 months. And now I expected to sort of settle back into my pre-chaos life and I’m really not the same person anymore, somehow?

Nothing has really changed, I’m just no longer as content as I used to be with my own company. I’m feeling much more of an urge to socialize and just be OUT. I take huge long walks with the dog in a whim. I’m even going to have to canvas my friends for photos of me to put on dating apps - not necessarily to find The One, but to just provide myself with entertaining things to look forward to. Meh! I thought IF would turn out to be an entertaining distraction but turns out it’s pretty easy.

Anyone else hitting this sort of wall 9 months out? It’s like I’ve been engaged in a fascinating science experiment much of the year and my letdown isn’t diet fatigue or lack of inspiration, it’s more “well NOW WHAT?!”

I'm right there with you, it was around this same point when I began to realize I should start dating again...

That may be part of why I'm looking for a new job.

I'm looking for a boyfriend, job in another country, new set of children (even trade ?), Star Trek conventions, bellybutton piercing, plastics, pole dancing classes, homesteading, bullet journaling, dungeon and dragons clubs...

What I need is to go to the gym 😁

Yes! This ^^^! Exactly. Cannot explain it, but it's like, I do not want to sit at home doing nothing at night. *sigh*
