(no subject)

 I knew the prep for the colonoscopy would be Not Fun, but I didn't quite realize HOW horrible I'd feel. Ugh. Not at all helped by my not sleeping that night. By the time I went to the medical office, I had been awake for not quite 24 hours. But the procedure itself was fine; everyone had told me it would be the easiest part of the whole thing, and they were not wrong. I came home, took my morning meds, slept a few hours, and then spent the rest of the day on the couch watching movies and slowly eating my way through the stack of pancakes the Madwoman in the attic had made for me. I went to bed around 9, passed out probably at 9:30, and didn't get out of bed until 11:30 this morning. Mmmmm, sleep.

I took today off, too, because I knew there was no way I'd be ready to dive back into meeting hell. Today will probably involve more movies, some hand sewing, and maybe plotting out the design for my next long beaded strand.

I have a clothing dilemma. I have a thing happening this summer where I absolutely need to wear long pants to protect my legs. (I can probably wear a skirt over them, but I have to check once the thing has been confirmed.) Pants?!

The idea I came up with in order to have a vague approximation of my preferred silhouette: uh, bell-bottoms. From my shoes up, the outfit would be:

• Stretchy black bell-bottoms.
• Black handkerchief hem skirt.
• "Avery" dress from Holy Clothing. (Which I was going to order anyway.)

Anyone have other suggestions? Gently mocking laughter that I'm going to have to wear pants AND that I'm considering bell-bottoms?
