You can do it, Allyson.

We do have peeps, Lee. I'm askeered to eat them, but they sure look pretty!
Allyson, I have utter faith in you. You'll finish without a problem.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Criminy. I have GOT to get away from this computer or I'll get nothing done ever.
I may just turn it off for a couple days.
I'm jonesin' already.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You will, therefore you can, Allyson.
I had plans for this morning, but a headache forced me back into bed. Now all I have to consider is kettlebell in an hour. Which is conditional since my left knee is rapidly deteriorating and making it difficult to walk. Sometimes. Othertimes it feels almost fine.
N called me yesterday and told me she needed shoes and would I come shopping with her. I said sure, because I was in the sort of mood that goes more bad the longer you're alone in it. What happens is that she goes shopping mad, and I whine and thereby keep her on message.
Two things happened. One, Ann Taylor Loft. I'm a ho for that store, plus they now send me coupons. Ergo crack ho. Spent too long there. The other thing was Sephora into which I refused to go, so she had no braking mechanism. She did call me from its bowels after about half an hour or so. At least.
And at this point, she still hadn't found shoes.
Four freaking hours.
Despite her promise she could find 32DD bras that were more pretty than mechanical, she failed. Found two not plain 34Ds, but just no dice. However, she did also find me this which I'm now going to buy in white. Better than a shelf bra cami in terms of support and immobilisation, and the straps aren't even too wide.
Still need something tanky that I can wear when the neckline will be visible, but that top/bra thing takes care of the sheer, etc tops I seem to be unable to not buy.
Huh. This post was going to be about something else. Forgot what.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Fine. Ignore me. Stoner.
Not ignoring.
Bypassing, maybe.

I'm all sad, ita, that you go shopping without me. I've been replaced!
you know what bras are more mechanical and supermechanical at that? 38DD. In fact, the new bra I just bought is sized S, M, L, Voluptuous. Which makes me want to cry in my soup.
I should go get remeasured in a few days since I think my back is smaller now.

Consider it merely a vacation. Plus, I was to be there for her, to stop her buying everything in the world.
Technically that was accomplished, but she spent a basketload of money before she even got to the shoes.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
When I was taking a bath with her the other day she spotted my big toe and her eyes went wide like a hunter spotting a sixteen point buck.
"Ooooh, Daddy toes!!!"

There was this kid in one store that was deliberately making his father laugh. I'm not sure how old he was--pre talking, it seemed. He'd flutter his lips at his father, his father would crack up, lather, rinse repeat.
I exclaimed "How cute! He's making his daddy laugh!" and he looked over at us, evaluated us, and began the same routine. Quite successfully, I must note.
Apparently then telling the dad "He's quite manipulative, for such a little thing" gained me a weird look. I did mean it as a compliment, though.
