Buster was in a really show off kind of mood, and kept attacking my leg while I tried to take my three pictures of the day. When I picked him up, he got very happy. As you can see, he has grown so much. In fact, I think he gained a lot of weight while the kitty sitters took care of him this past week. He used to be pretty svelte, but now he's my chunky little lima bean (he likes to eat lima beans, or anything else that falls on the floor in the kitchen). My tough-guy Gowanus-born kitty is getting an adolescent spread.
Today will be my last day of my quasi attempt to do 6 items in one month. I had to cheat with the wedding, and I chose to cheat for the holiday in Germany. It was pretty hard, and I looked pretty boring on the weekends (this tee shirt with the jeans, maybe a scarf). But I am really looking forward to wearing the rest of my clothes for the rest of the GAAD challenge. Other than trying on comfy shoes in Germany (Euros are just monopoly money, so they don't count, right?), I haven't really been tempted much. Shoes are technically allowed under the GAAD, but I only want to buy to replace things that are worn/damaged.
This last outfit is probably the last combination that I haven't tried with a top and this dress/tunic. Not teaching or work appropriate, but it works for working from home.
I wanted to thank folks for your encouraging words about the upcoming semester. I am really lucky to have a nice job with amazing colleagues, and I wanted to make public my goal of focusing on the positive, and ignoring or finding humor in the negative (Blokey often says this to me when I am bummed or cranky: "Can you find the humor in this?").
Have a lovely weekend, all!
