I have been doing a wonderful job of shrinking out of clothing or to get a laugh line in this house the clothing has been growing in the closet. Dillard’s did not have much of a selection locally. I have also filled 3 boxes with clothing that have grown larger in the closet. Yes, clothing can really grow bigger over a weeks time. I really need to make a trip to Goodwill.
So today my hero drove me 2 hours to the Scottsdale Bryn Walker store. To buy local even if it was 2 hours away. There was a huge selection of clothing to try on. I came home with 2 bags of new outfits for the next few months. I tried on clothes for over an hour. Talk about your patient husband. Towards the end when I got to tired to move he encouraged me to try on just a few more because after all it was a 2 hour drive each way.
Most importantly was that I had lost enough weight to get into a few styles that were previously too small for me. Kiko the store clerk was able to put a few combinations together that I did not even think about. I have a few outfits for those really cold days. I got some Tucson dressy clothing too. We tend to be more casual even when we get dressed up.
We went and got a quick lunch. For most of lunch we had a private patio. I am not sure why more people were not eating outside with all the numbers going up. John’s corn beef sandwich was good. The meat was lean and tasty. My salad was a 3 out of 10. To rate higher a salad must taste good without any salad dressing. I do not like diving into a salad that is swimming in dressing, only to drain salad dressing off my salads to eat them. Also a random question. How do you get an avocado to go limp? I do give them credit for not burning the peach iced tea though.
On the way home traffic slowed for a medical emergency on the side of the freeway. So it added about 15 minutes to our ride home. After hanging up the clothes we got today I took a nap until dinner time.
Another takeaway from today is that I don’t know which is harder on my body during a flare up:
1. Doing 45 minutes of physical therapy.
or
2. Trying on clothes for an hour or so.
I am sore and tired after both.
