Making up for lost time. Haven't been able to dress up for three years. Now I have some freedom to do it for a little while.
Started out last night with a trip to the IXE meeting in Indy. Stopped at the Carmel DSW on the way and tried on a dozen different pairs of Cute Shoes! Should have gotten some pictures but I didn't.
The IXE meeting was fun. Met Aprilgirl there. We've known each other for a long time now. Saw Shannon and Emily again. Everyone else was new to me I think. Good time.
I went home and got to bed early hoping to make it to a church in the morning. I wasn't going to go to my home church enfemme. I overslept a bit and decided to go to a large church in my town. It went better than I could have expected. No problems at all. No drama, just a good Sunday morning.
Went to Meijer's after that for a few items. I've been trying to force myself to go to a cashier instead of self-scan to try and get over discomfort with face-to-face interaction. But it was really crowded so I just did self-scan and didn't even feel bad about it
Then on to Sears where I tried on a couple of dresses. I tried making some DIY hip pads, so let me know if they are just ridiculous looking, or if maybe I'm getting close to a good proportion? Pics attached.
Finished up with a stroll through the mall. Went through one other department store, and a beauty/wig shop.
I think I got my fix for a few days! Not sure when I will dress up again, but it probably won't be long
I couldn't smell the smoke, and now I'll watch the flames
