I've been so good today!

I stayed up too late last night "researching" a couple of costume things (yeah, via Pinterest), so I slept a little late this morning. But when I got up, I was productive. I put the things that have been soaking in oxi-clean in the wash, got groceries, went to the chiropractor, then had lunch and spent some good time with my parents.  Then I came home and balanced my budget. *wince* I wasn't looking forward to paying the piper after my lovely Costume College & then some vacation! But it really wasn't too bad. And then, for some reason, I was very adult and sent emails and made phone calls, like about insurance, and getting a discount on my internet, and other things. Some of which I've been, uh, needing to do for several years. But it's done, yay!

There's still plenty on my list for the rest of the weekend. But I got rid of the ugliest one, and some bonus things besides. Go me!

Oh! A couple of you might remember at Costume College I had some trouble with my 1790s/1800s stays suddenly making my left shoulder ache horribly. (I know I complained about it to mlsdesigns a lot at the ice cream social!) I went to the chiropractor mainly to have a check after the rear-end accident fancyfrocks and I had two weeks ago (I'm totally fine!), but I did ask about it. Turns out my left shoulder joint was slightly out. When I tightened my stays, particularly the shoulder straps, to wear the red dress, it naturally pulled my shoulders back slightly. And the resulting pressure on a joint that was slightly out, did build up to that straining ache I got after wearing the stays for some time. So it's back in now, and I've got some stretches to do to help it stay in. It's good to know what was going on!
