I was at a bit of a loss as to what to wear to work on Monday, as I hadn't done laundry yet. When I got this dress, I never figured I'd be able to wear it to work. Strange that I didn't think of my little shrug sooner, it's perfect for making it office appropriate. And naturally I used my trusty little lizard broach to hold the shrug together. Top layers like shrugs and cardigans are things I need more of in my wardrobe.
Shrug - Thrifted from Value Village
Dress - Thrifted from Value Village
Shoes - Spring
I was pretty bummed out to be heading in to work again Monday morning, so I decided to treat myself to something away from my usual mix of granola, yoghurt, and blueberries. So I whipped up some real whipping cream, dug some fresh local berries out of the refrigerator and plopped it all on a maple syrup drizzled hot Belgium waffle. Yum! A strong cup of coffee and a cold glass of milk were the only other things I needed to start my day off with a little more cheer.
I could use a little more cheer now, too. I have found out that I was scammed by an energy retailer company called Summitt Energy, back in November last year. And now all my hydro bills have ridiculous extra fees and charges on them, and the company says I'd need to pay them a $475 breach of contract fee and ugh... I feel pretty stupid, and frightened, and worried. I hope I can sort this out.
I'm always so melancholy when I get back from out West, but now it's worse. I arrived to an airport where no one was waiting for me. I have no family in this city. All my close friends are gone. I hate my job. I don't want to be here anymore, but I don't have any choice. I'm just tired of facing everything alone. A person needs a support network, and I haven't got one here. They say home is where the heart is... then my home is very, very far away.
The photos from the festival and my trip have yet to be sorted through, but I should get around to it on the weekend at the latest. Hopefully. I admit, I've been playing Sims Medieval for hours. And watching the entire 4 hours of Stephen King's Rose Red.
Also, welcome to the last few new Followers! So glad to have you! I hope you are all having good weeks, and that the warm sun shines for you all. Cheers!

don't know if you're free tomorrow for some potential spirit lifting. I have a (nearly) full Value Village stamp card that needs to be used by the end of the month and we're planning an expedition for tomorrow. (Me, Omar and Omar's mom who is in town.) I just got a huge haul from there not too long ago, but I don't want to let the stamps go to waste! Let me know if you're interested, Text or email is the best way to reach me to confirm :)
Ps. Which branch is up to you, if you have a favorite. I defer to you in these important matters!
Real whip cream? you had me right there! (lovely shade of green in the cardi/wrap, too!)
That's too bad about the billing scam! I'm glad you had a lovely vacation though.
i miss hearing from my favorite spider-fan :)
Hon, I love your gorgeous sun frock with its generous frill. A frock needs a big frill doesn't it? It's so hard to leave behind the one you love - it magnifies all the shitty stuff you have to return to. But if you can muster up an awesome brekkie like that, you're doing really well:))). Thank god for blogging eh? xoxoxo
really lovely outfit! and mm i want some fruit and cream
What a beautiful dress! And the waffle looks heavenly. I haven't had waffles in ages and really should invest in a new waffle maker...I just love piling on fruit and drowning them in maple syrup :)
sorry to hear about that bill - hope it works out! you always have a family here if you ever need to talk or vent! but i totally understand.
seems i've been missing your posts!
[oomph.]
