I am grateful this winter has seen less snow than past years. Also, I started parking in a base lot on campus, again, because of people who didn't, or didn't properly, shovel their sidewalks. In one day, I slipped on sidewalks three times. I didn't throw my back out that day, but a week later it gave up and I ended up having 6 weeks of PT to partially fix it. It's still not very strong, the least sideways twist threatens to put it out of joint. I can't say the parking lot is much better than many of the sidewalks due to melt and refreeze, but it's a shorter distance to walk and the university is liable.
Home owners, here, have 24 after the snow ends to shovel or it's a $200 fine (ask my daughter.) However, if it's snowing straight for a couple of days, that means they can let it build up without doing anything. That's why I finally gave up on walking to work.
I moved offices and now I have a window. The orb!
Could not wake up this morning...even went to sleep earlier than usual. Normally it isn't a big deal but I committed to coming into the office today so once I did drag my butt out of bed it was shower, get dressed, eat something, pack up, drive to the office and ta-da...start 2 hours later than usual.
But I'm here. And ready for a nap. This sick thing hasn't let go yet. I have a lunch meeting and then a performance review meeting, and then I can escape.
A year ago, I bought some very wide legged pants, I think they're called palazzo pants. They're slightly long and I've never bothered getting them hemmed. We're all doing business-casual this week due to visiting customers, so I pulled the pants out and wore some slightly higher shoes to compensate for length.
Why have I never wore this style of pant before! They're so comfy! My fat legs don't get squeezed and they flow so nicely! Must own more! And relearn how to hem things.
Palazzo pants have a lot to recommend them.
I just saw the cutest pair at Target on clearance, but I would have had to hem off all the detail on the cuff to wear them without tripping.
I'm getting back into editing! I mean, it's qualified excitement until I get a call back, but pretty definite. I get to read submissions again! And edit! I'm bouncing.
I love palazzo/wide legged pants. They're comfortable, and I think they're flattering to many body types. Or, at least, to mine. I have several from J. Jill. [link]
I'm getting back into editing! ... I'm bouncing.
Wheeeeeee! Fantastic, Amy!
There's something very '60s about palazzo pants.
