So I am already starting the new school year by not blogging for over an entire week. Excuses, excuses, but I got nailed by my two online classes. So much responding to do! Actually a lot of the work was organizing for the future. So that should free up my schedule a little in the future. I actually went in today on my "prep day" - which is supposed to mean a "non-work" day. Ha! But I did get a lot accomplished before our all faculty and administrator meeting.
Anyway, the good news is that while I didn't write last week, nothing really happened. Things went along fairly smoothly. I have a new attitude toward Dermot and it's helping me a lot I finally realized that I wasn't really enjoying him. While my job is to shape him into a productive member of adult society, it is also my job to let him be a kid and to understand his weaknesses. So he's getting away with a little bit more, but he's hearing about why it's bad in the hope that eventually he'll get it, and I'm enjoying his company more. It's amazing what attitude can do for you.
This weekend was actually unremarkable, and again, that's a good thing. Yeah! I actually spent 2.5 hours at the mall. I have hit a point where very few of my clothes fit me again. So I have ordered a bunch of basics online, but I wanted to try some things on too. The weird thing is that now that I have lost all of this weight, my body shape has changed. Styles that used to look good on me, now look kind of strange. I have hit the point where I actually need clothes that are more fitted than I am used to. I'm used to wearing long t-shirt like dresses. Now they look like I'm wearing sacks. So a lot of what I tried on just didn't work. The other thing is that hopefully I'll be going down more sizes, so I didn't want to buy anything that I didn't really like since hopefully they won't be around for very long.
I ended up with two pairs of socks, a skirt, and a dress. I had gotten two skirts the day before at a different store. I'm desperate for tops, but that's mostly what I ordered online. Dermot actually ended up with more stuff than I did, and I went alone. I bought him a new winter coat, and several long sleeved shirts (Spiderman, Cars, Halloween, and some plain striped shirts). I also bought him Ben 10 shoes, but he has decided that he hates them. He would rather wear his old Transformer shoes with the holes that are starting to appear. He says the new shoes feel funny. Yeah, they feel new. I also bought myself a new watch. I have needed a new watch forever. I bought one a couple of years ago at Target and it was always too big. I took out all the links that I could and it still kept spinning around on my wrist. So I went to the Swatch store and I bought a watch. Remember when Swatches were 20-25 bucks and that seemed a lot for a plastic watch? Those watches are now 50 bucks or more. My watch is metal and I really like it. I have a hard time finding silver watches that are petite enough for my taste.
TMI ALERT!!!
Here's the crazy thing. My bra band has shrunk a lot (eight digits), but my cup has not changed at all. My chest is killing me. My back hurts from my breasts even more now than it used to. I guess since I had extra weight all around it didn't all fall on my back. Now that there's less weight everywhere, but my breasts, they are really giving it to my back. We'll see what happens as I, hopefully, lose more weight.
