I got one of those long scarves with fringes at the mall. I looked at every scarf in the mall before I settled on a loosely woven textured scarf; but it had silver and gold sparkly threads of Mylar. I pulled them out. There were about 20 of them.

Instead of looking inapporpriately glittery and cheap, it looks like woven raw silk (it’s actually cotton and polyester from China).

Yeah, it has been a lifelong problem for me, so why would I be able to fix it in a couple of years. Maybe this will take me the rest of life to work on – so what? I’m still interested.

I desperately need to put some money into buying some clothing. I have only four blouses which I wear winter and summer. ((sigh))

However, I bought some better fitting new underthings. That was a first step. I don’t know about the guys; but for women that’s important. I got some pretty good service at Victoria’s Secret and the sales associate didn’t want to look at me topless, just snuck bras under the door for me to try on.

Once again I am focusing on making an effort every day. I iron my clothes. Makeup is applied. Sunblock, perfume and lotion have all been squirted or dabbed. My hair has never been better.

Nail polish is still something I can’t seem to get done. Someday…

Weight loss and fitness are goals I can’t achieve as quickly. Getting better clothes is another avenue that promises to be productive. I have a wardrobe of rags. Rags that are clean, mended and ironed!
