No Art Fair for Me Today

 Today did not go as planned.  A wardrobe malfunction caused a change in plans.  So I went shopping.  The bad news was the mall was a bust.  The good news is that with less product in the stores almost all the stores I went to were ADA compliant with a minimum of 36” between racks.  I am not sure why it took almost 30 years and a pandemic to make it happen.  

Even better news. The internet still works and I was able to order what I needed in a couple of hours.  Most everything should be here by Thursday.

Shopping Smaller

 Has anyone else ever noticed that when clothing goes on sale they always have many more options in the size you are not looking for? Yes, it was shopping for smaller size pants today.  So far it has seemed to hold that for every 5 percent weight loss from my original weight, I go down 1 pant size.  At least tops and dresses are much more flexible in sizes, so they get replaced less often.  Usually after about a 10% loss.

I guess I expected something a little different when I hit the 20% weight loss.  I was really not envisioning trudging through 2 different malls across town from each other trying on loads of pants and only coming home with 3 new pairs. Which means that I will be wearing more of my dresses and washing dark dress clothes more often.  In addition to being tired, sore and hungry.  

Let’s me explain the hungry part.  I no longer eat fast food.  That leaves out the mall food court.  In addition to that, I still do not eat indoors.  I always wear my mask inside.  I have yet to figure out a system where I can eat with my mask on.   So it was a quick packet of peanut butter and ice water in the car before I went shopping for dinner.  Yes, I keep a few packets of peanut butter in my purse for things like today.  Then it was home for a very late lunch.    

Tomorrow is almost here so TTFN. 

If you want to know my origins of TTFN you will just have to read When WeWere Very Young by A.A. Milne. A Fun fact. On January 1, 2022 the  original Winnie-the-Pooh series entered Public Domain.  Although Disney still holds rights to its versions of Winnie-the-Pooh.

I Scored

 Tonight I managed to get 2 of my favorite skirts in one size smaller.  They should arrive in a few days.  I find it so hard to shop for smaller sized clothing on line without having tried the clothing on.  So I have been relying on hope for my shopping. My hope is that I can find the same item in one size smaller when needed.  So therefore, I scored tonight.
