Today was pretty decent - compared to yesterday, I'd imagine that *anything* could be better than that.
Sure, I had a few teary-for-no-reason moments, but it's getting better. Besides, I got to indulge in some retail therapy! Y'see, Lane Bryant has this brilliant program called "Real Women Dollars". Basically, it's their way of getting you to spend money for the reward ($25 RWD for every $50 spent) that you can redeem at a later date. Of course, they probably do this not just for return customers and loyalty, but on the assumption that you'd probably forget that you had the RWD, and won't use them.
Anyways, about the retail therapy. I actually found a few shirts that fit (no small feat, since I have "Hi Helens" that dictate how a shirt will fit on me, and what size I can wear); got some new jeans, tank tops and panties - a girl can never have too many panties ... heh. With my RWDs, I only spent under $120 with tax for over $200 in clothes.
Also, I went to see Eldo, to get my tragus jewelry changed. My piercing is a bit swollen, so there was no "wiggle room" with the jewelry, and I needed to get a slightly longer barbell to remedy that. I did that, and also discussed car insurance with Eldo (weird, I know) ... and being a major dork, I wanted to go back and tell him that coverage I'd recommended for a car in storage wasn't the right coverage! (I'd suggested Liability only - but really, it should've been Comprehensive only, since the car isn't being driven.) Well, that's for another time. Besides, if he calls to discuss insurance, I can go over it with him then. :-) And, I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I was ready to pay for the jewelry, and I was told "it's on the house". Too kind of him! :-)
