OMG! We literally lived about 500m away from from each other. I knew I recognised that view. πŸ˜‚ You were in the Cutters Landing complex & I was in Freshwater on the western side of Admiralty House. Mind blown! I lived there from 1999 - 2014 when I then bought my house β€˜down the road’ on the hill at Teneriffe. My apartment faced Admiralty House which was between our two complexes. We probably passed each other roaming around the suburb or at the Powerhouse Markets.

Yep, the Flood installation is still there & it’s still being climbed upon by young people. They have a Brisbane one on the river at QPAC now too.

Your tree is amazing. It’s so tall. Who gets to climb the ladder to put the decorations on the top half? I know neither you nor I could reach - tee hee.

Met up with my maternal aunts & uncles for lunch today. Just wearing a little but of black. Ha! I’m finding my size 6 pants (US 2) are all a little loosish & are bagging in places & not falling nicely. Sigh!

How COOL that you were neighbors and didn't even know it! What a small world, right!? Okay, then. I am flying over to borrow this beautiful blouse. As you know, I love eyelet and black! You'd be right...time for size 4 slacks. These are my size 4 faded jeans for lunch today with a good friend. Finally cooler to wear denim for our Florida winters. Yay!

I haven't felt like using nice clothes because... bleh nowhere to go. But I couldn't resist buying this sweater dress because of the bell sleeves (and hem- not shown)

This dress is an XL which is a little too loose in the bust , upper waist & arms perfect everywhere else!

SOOOO Scrupulous! So glad you dressed up for yourself... and, for us! ;]

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I opted for a softer, more gentler theme for 2020 given the rather harsh, almost cruel year. Christmas tree fashion show continues... Jake, don't forget to share your bachelor's pad festive decorations. You, too, Silly Kitty, Cheeseburgh, wishmesmaller and others! Fun. Green Tealael, do you decorate for Happy Hanukkah? Do share! Tree's not necessary... let' s just spread the cheer! Hugs.

Excuse the chaos of my home office. Size 10 jeans! Woohoo!

Yay Size Tens!!! (you could probably go smaller, though ;) )

I am loving your jacket (the colour!), but is it cold enough to need it in Nevada? Because its plenty cold here and I could use a nice-wine coloured jacket to add my wardrobe.

P.S. If that is your definition of chaos, I'd hate to show you my office!

get in line, lady!

Although, I would be willing to give you my spot in line to borrow/take the other black top @Arabesque got at the Witching (Witchcraft? Witchery? I KNOW I'm getting the name wrong, but close enough, i think) store.

Is it bad that I have mentally catalogued her closet???

I definitely cannot go smaller as I lack a waist, and any smaller they will cut me in half. Lol. Jacket is an XL from β€œbefore” but has the cinch-able waist, which sort of gives me a waist. You would need to put on your penis cap to hang out in my jacket πŸ˜‚ (swimmingly) 😊

Temp today was high of 50 F and low of 26 F, so definitely jacket weather...especially since I am now freezing all the time. I am in Northern Nevada at about 4500 feet, 30 minutes from Lake Tahoe. It gets cold here. Not Canada cold though 😳πŸ₯ΆπŸ˜³πŸ₯Ά

Well, duh. I was under the impression Nevada was all deserts and stuff. Obviously my knowledge of U.S. climates leaves much to be desired (apologies to Mr. Tanner, my 10th grade Geography teacher!)

And yeah, u need that jacket more than I do, it was 15C / 59F here yesterday!

Penis Cap. Lololololzzz

Oh gracious! I missed a couple of days & I came back to lots of beauty.

greentealael you look gorgeous. That dress is fabulous on you. I call bell sleeves β€˜so sorry I can’t help with the washing up’ sleeves. Tee hee.

Jake, I bet you were the centre of attention at your reunion. You look so hot ( & so does your girlfriend).

I love your jacket Wishmesmaller beautiful colour too. And congrats on your size 10 jeans. Woo hoo!

You had me at wine & cocktails too bayougirlmrss.

Sophie, your soft pink tree is beautiful. Love your roses too. I think the pants are a bit loose because they are a stretch fabric & have given a bit. I’m hoping they’ll return to their true size when washed. Fingers crossed. I don’t think I’ve seen size 4 (US0) clothing in Aust so I hope I don’t need to drop down to that size. I have a dress & a pair of pants I’m going to have taken in. Straight seams so they should be simple jobs. The dress will have to have the side zip removed but the neckline is big enough to go on without needing too unzip. A few of the pieces I bought last summer are too big but they seem to be the easiest to alter. Sigh.

Mmmm. Looks like I have to lock up my Witchery tops otherwise we’ll start seeing pxts of Sophie & ms.sss in my blouses.

I like Witchery too daisyJayne. They’re the best for pretty tops & blouses that are just that bit different & they go down to size 6 & xxs. Woo hoo.

I love a pair of poo pants or drop crotch pants as they’re more commonly known. Need a better top though as this one’s a bit loose around the bottom.

Had a few lumps & bumps removed from my head, face & neck yesterday (9 things in total) and got white fluff from the cotton blanket they put on me all over the pants - sigh. Put my clothes brush to good use this morning. Oh, just realised you can see my old lady crepey skin arms in this pxt - another sigh.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
