Today I bought new work clothes. Sara was very nice and accompanied me even though she hates shopping. 1 store for clothes and 1 store for shoes. 12 things purchased. I still need a couple of basic skirts, but I feel good for a few weeks at least.

My tip- Lands End fit and flare dresses. Look good in both flea and me, who couldn't possibly have more disparate body types, feels like wearing a nightgown, always looks dressed at least business casual.

And I did not act like a sullen teenager. I even found pants with pockets. And we convinced a MOB that the dress she was trying on looked good on her.

Consuela - I love ThredUp. I just ordered my third box from them. I like the boxes when I am trying to find some specific things (suit jackets, pencil skirts..), but yes, as soon as I find some things that I like, I will look to get them there also.

Woo hoo! I'm aheming the A's / Cubs spring training game.

I'm so psyched for the A's this year.

I watched Dodgers/Giants today. Happy to have baseball back.

A bit late, but: congrats msbelle and Toddson!

To sum up the last few days: I am, for one, wonder at my own foolishness at times. I was supposed to study for a make-up to raise a grade (I did not fail, but I need more than a C. Even if algebra is included). Then again, I was also with a really bad migraine for 48 hours and it took another 24 hours to recover from it, so no studies happened, but I was still somehow convinced that I can cram everything into a 36 hours session. Yesterday night, after starting to feel better, I realized that I was very wrong. I just emailed school administration asking how to handle this since not coming to be tested = automatic failure in class, but I'm sure that a note from my doctor would help.

Also, damn you, body.

(As for the grade - well, I'll just have to get A and A+ in 2-3 classes next semester, but you know what? None of them includes algebra, only words, and I'm good with words and remembering historical/sociological/logical/philosophical scenarios).

Anyways, here's hoping I won't have to fail a class tomorrow. And for maybe understanding sooner that I can't do everything before it becomes an administrative issue.

Edit: still no answer from school admin., but damn. more than 24 hours after the migraine ended people at work told me I'm looking pale and not in best of health. While I still feel like 20% of me is recovering, I had no idea the after effect can show like this.

Looking at new rug for my living room area. The floor and walls are grey, couch is darkish green with grey cover, chairs are a goldish yellow - this room opens into the eating area is which has a lots of pastel pink, some turquoise, and some pale yellow/blue/green.

I want some bright colors added in and something that will work with both rooms. These rugs are all pretty different.

I'm generally fond of Oriental, but #1 is my favorite from these choices.

I love 3 and 4 pretty equally.
