You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It would appear that the big obstacle between me and gym-before-work is needing to get dressed twice. Choosing two outfits. Not that my gym nor my work are particularly fashion-conscious places, but this is a particular bugbear of mine.

It seems like something I could figure out a way to overcome, but I don't know if it'll happen today.

OTOH, leisurely breakfast and coffee, very pleasant.

It must be pear season. I got pears in my box from the farm last week and my grocery delivery threw in a bag of pears as complimentary samples. Delicious.

Poking my head in to say, look at this! [link]

An homage?

I kinda miss the blinky under construction icons.

Oh shit. I have a cat on me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Ugh. Woke up a couple times with stomach/abdominal pain. It seems to come and go. My back and legs hurt as well.

I hate changing clothes, especially for a short period of time. I have a fat, ungainly body, which is amply demonstrated as I flail around covering it up for public non-consumption.

I cannot pin down why deciding what I'm going to wear is such a chore for me, but part of it is that I have to consider, at least a little bit, how other people are going to perceive me.

Once I am dressed and out in the world that hardly ever crosses my mind.

Swam my mile today. -t, I totally agree. The only solution for me is to put both sets of clothes aside the night before.

I woke up today without having done that and was 15 minutes late to the pool.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

-t, if you limit the options would that help? If the gym clothes were all the same? Like a gym uniform.

Yeah, putting out clothes the night before makes so much sense, but I have not figured out how to make that work for me, yet.

It might, aurelia, but cute workout clothes are a joy to me. I have toyed with stacking my gym clothes so that I can just grab a thing from each pile and wear that without thinking about it, and that kind of works, but accounting for temperature and activity requirements is tricky. And then there's shoes and socks which are a whole kettle of fish on their own.
