Rainy Monday
I went clothes shopping on Saturday - I don't really have the money, but I never will put it as a priority, 'cause I hate to clothes shop (much smaller waist than hips and being overweight with lots on top makes for _nothing_ fitting me right).
Was finally able to find some tops. Which means I can retire the ones I have that are showing lots of wear at seams and edges (in the edges are holes kind of way). Yeah clothes for work that look neat and nice.
Still need skirts. Kohls had no skirts whatsoever in my size except for one very ugly one. I wish I could afford Lane Bryant, but Kohls is pretty much it for me.
But I accomplished the clothes shopping, and I can hold out on skirts for a month or so (the hems also are getting holes in my skirts, so I need new ones, but that's less noticeable).
Yesterday was Brazilian BBQ - all the meat you can eat - and I gotta say, this time the servers were willing to cut smaller pieces, so got a taste of lots of yummy things (apparently, I like quail). My mojito was not made with rum, but with some liquor that acted like whiskey on me - I was fine, I was fine, and then wow, I was giddy.
Today, I made myself tea, and a plate of buttered bread, cookies, and cheese and chocolate. Then I sat down, read fanfiction, drank tea (still have half a pot) and was happy. Then I settled down at the window to read.
I grew up in the eastern coast, next to mountains. Much of the time I was in the mountains. It rains a lot in the summer there.
I am used to being able to curl up with a book, tea, and rain and enjoy a lazy afternoon. Sadly, it's only rained during work days lately here, and it only rains when it's COLD.
But today, I had a warm blanket, hours to kill, a few books that I started and then put off because they required the kinda attention I can't give them when walking on or the train, and an half pot of tea, and a couch right by the window.
Bliss.
I am going to go back to that spot as soon as my hair is dry (don't want to catch a chill from the draft from the window. Will think scheming thoughts about the games I am, get out my laptop to write for the game I am running, and for the one that my best friend and I am going to run, and enjoy the rain against the window.
And watch the river that used to my sidewalk. Thank goodness I don't need to leave the house today.
