Teppy, I can't wait to see pictures.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Ahhhh, gotcha. Thanks, Steph. They are beautiful.
One day. One day. Well, I'll also need to find someone to lace me in, but I'll worry about that when I can afford one.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my brain is in a rut. Which happens when I can feel the seasons changeing, I think. So I want to be something different , but really can't think of anything different that I want to do . so I feel like everthing is boreing, even though I'm not really bored. It is sort of like futless- but there is no energy. and it is vaguely fake. It might be that urge to prep for winter , even though winter isn't the same as the winter I grew up with. My brain is whiney.

My friend and I were talking the other day about fall making us manic and itchy. I prefer spring.

Oh, not me. Fall is comfortable, spring makes me antsy.

I really love fall and spring - I feel most alive then , but I go through some 'bad' days that feel really illogical.partly, it is the unpredictability of the weather/temperature, etc. . partly, it is the allergies.

I can't order a corset until I have a stable job and a stable weight.
No matter how tempting it is to say to heck with it and get one.

I shouldn't order a new corset until I'm done losing weight. No matter how very much I want a new one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I shouldn't order a new corset until I'm done losing weight. No matter how very much I want a new one.
See, I feel that way, too. But Meschantes recommends ordering a size 4-6 inches smaller than your natural waistline, because their corsets can -- with proper training -- reduce your waist by that much.
Meaning, my waist would have to shrink 6 inches for the cincher to close entirely in the back. More than 6 inches, and it won't be wearable.
Now, I have lost 2(ish) inches off my waist, but that's been over (roughly) 2-3 months. So I figure that 6 more inches would be at least 9 months, but likely longer. Meaning, I'll be able to wear this cincher for quite a while before it's too big.
Assuming I continue the downward weight trend.
Which I'd better.
