What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

This need is getting too much

Rachel is trying to take over my life and it's becoming annoying.

I need to go bush for a week, refocus, because all the stress is just making me forget who I am.

One the plus side, I've found a better colouring system for my eyeshadow - sorry no photos of this weekends outing, but have a couple of mid-week photos before I started playing with eyeshadow colour.

I noticed at the last minute, a girl leaning out of the photo, so cropped her out and apologized to her, still got her elbow and drink :(

Excited - had my eyebrows shaped and coloured

I don't know if you had them, but at school I had a couple of older teachers with big grey eyebrows with really long hairs sticking out. Mine were getting that way, so a quick trip to the beauty shop for a revamp. Now my eyebrows remind me of when I was in my 20's, just wish the rest of my face (and body) followed suit.

Before...



And after...


I'm not sure why, I enjoy wearing colourful clothes and feel light and joyful, but in this black outfit I feel a bit different, in a naughty nice way :)
 
Talking abut different, Auckland Pride Parade is on tonight, wife would like to see it ne day, but it's not really my thing.

finally found a way to wear my leggings

I really like lycra leggings, they are so snug but I've been told by family that I have a few too many lumps. Anyway I found this  top, not sure who it used to belong too but it's been loitering around the house for a couple of years and I've never really gave it much thought until this cyclone with a cold wind arrived.

I've also got new boobs (Aliexpress 1200g) and finally threw away the ones I made from moldable rubber 22 years ago (true I could have reheated to 180 degrees C and re-molded them, but I did accidently add too much colour to the rubber all those years ago).

I visited Sylvia park today, but with the cyclone activity only half the shops were open (probably under water by now anyway) but I managed to grab $60 worth of groceries from Pak 'n Save before heading off to a Countdown (Woolworths for our Aussie readers) - stopped for coffee first before buying the stuff I needed that Pak 'n Save don't stock.

I had quite a few people looking at me, I just smiled, some smiled back and went about their business



Rains and wind pretty heavy now. Yesterday I tied the trampoline to a large tree on the property to prevent it flying away and I'm guessing it will have moved some before the sun comes up again. I'm not sure about the wood shed as I didn't design it for the wind speed in the direction the wind is currently running. On the bright side, the wind is in the wrong direction to try and lift my roof :)

Practicing Lady walk

So I've done hips stretches, practiced walking with my elbows turned in, shortened my stride (and skirt) and wearing heels.

Not sure it will help, but maybe help convince some blind people, that I'm a lady 😅😇
