Mr. bought us tickets to the opera for my birthday a while back and we went to go see it last night. Never been to the opera before, turns out I'm not a fan (love regular theatre though :) ). When the bells went off to signal that intermission was over, I was all, I'd rather stay out here and finish my charcuterie snack pack than go back in there for another hour, hahahaha. I guess I'm not all that cultured.

Ok, this is a weird OODT. We made puppets today for a free daycare. I AM technically wearing it.

Ok. Do y'all have the mental space to let me vent about a completely ridiculous WLS first world problem?

Yeah? Great !

I *needed* a new coat. (Long-ish story but my wonderful Cole Haan coat that is dry clean only - I washed/dryed multiple times which is not usually a problem but ... I left it in the dryer too long and it shrunk. Oops 😔

So one of my daughters will get it unless I lose 15lbs) I went shopping and these are the coats/sizes/ranges I tried on:

Smalls- which were just right or too big

Mediums- which were too small or too big.

Larges- which were slightly loose or too big

No rhyme or reason to sizing these days

Here are are some of the abysmal results:

Side not: why the **** does this fitting room have a Michael Westmore FX lighting budget... I look like a Ferengi?!?! Whatevs 😒

So I went to a different store and did finally find something to make sense of all this sizing madness. This is a medium, which is my true size these days. I also bought high riding boot because FOMO 😂

Love this coat! The others were dreadful on you! They made you look about 4'6" tall. Those boots are to die for!

Good choice :) Though I thought the third one (the belted grey one) looked nice on you too...

(and love the boots!)

The first 3 were all simply off /wrong fit. Ill/well fitting clothing will make you look totally different

YES!!! I went to a nice consignment store the other day and tried on a few pairs of jeans. One size 4 Was Way too big. A size 2 Was Way too small. A size 0 fit. All different brands. Anyway it was my first time shopping consignment and I found three shirts and a jacket I ended up taking home. I was eyeballing a pair of Chanel high heels but I walked away. I never will forget them though. Maybe one day.....

Okay, this outfit is fine, but it would be MUCH better with tall boots. I clearly need to do some shopping! This dress is too big, but the belt is helping.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
