vaccine magnatism

So this morning - 5am, I wake up due to my sore shoulder, that after 5 weeks is still no better (although I did 30 minutes of kayaking the other day which probable set back the recovery).

But I'm kinda thinking about the magnetism thing as I have my wife stuck on almost on top of me on one side and 9 or so inches on the other side of me, I have a cat stuck to me. It seems to happen at about 2 am every morning leaving me feeling very claustrophobic.

Anyway, by 6am I've had an hour to think about it and I'm over being pinned down and decide to go an get a coffee before anyone else wakes up. I'm feeling a bit naughty (and who doesn't at that time) so dress relaxed but with a bit less material than normal.

I'm hoping your having an equally fun and relaxed day.

When your out with a friend and just not worried about anything

Out with a friend and so relaxed, I was just me and not about trying to be glam.

We spent a couple of hours chatting over a lovely meal out at an Indian restaurant (isn't it always the way when your friends meal tastes nicer than the one your ordered)











The next morning, I had to head out early, luckily the great people at my hotel helped with a photo shoot at the breakfast bar. The food was so nice compared to my breakfast at home. While having breakfast, 4 other groups came in for theirs and I got to chat with a lady in a really nice dress - so wanted it :)

Summer time

 It's too hot to wear wig or make up after 10 am and since we have to wear masks when in shops etc, it's borderline pointless to wear make up anyway.

I had a bit of an incident, which at first I thought was ripped muscles and maybe a fracture but it turns out one of my neck muscles has tightened and is creating pain from my spine all the down my arm. The intensity is similar to having a tooth filling without pain relief and I'm current on week 3. This generally means I get about 4 or 5 hours sleep per night, which in turn means after 3.30 am I'm often awake. Rather than wake the household, I try to get out to a 24/7 McDonalds for a coffee.

Managed a 10am coffee





Being awake, also means I get to see my favourite time of day - sunrise

Trying to find time for myself

Monday 27th

First things first, I've damaged an arm while sailing when the yacht heeled over and slammed me against the stern pulpit (which was under water at the time). So for the last few weeks, sleep has been a bit of a hit or miss affair. The Google diagnosis implies a torn Deltoid and it's probably time I see a doctor instead of trying to tough it out.

During an early morning wake period, I managed to slip out for a 6am coffee.



By 6.30, I was already thinking about getting home to do some cleaning on the house and sort out the granny flat that wife and I will be moving into next week. The day was a very warm 27 degrees so while I changed tops, I kept the skirt on until around 2 pm (wife and I work working mostly in the private courtyard and only a few trips around the front or back of the house where neighours might have seen).
I was planning on getting out to have my eyebrows cleaned up, but wife asked me not to until after the family outing today (Tuesday) 

Tuesday 28th
Arm has woken me at 12:30am, 2, 3:30 and 5:30am and by this time I decided to go for coffee. The day is a bit cooler so I went for a more sporty look, unfortunately the sports bra straps is over the sore area on my shoulder blade.

So before picking up cat food and the like this morning, I decided to to swap into daughters dress.


Back home by 8am and it's time to switch modes for a fun day out with the family.

Christmas shopping, sorry no photos

So I know nothing about Anime, but while dressed in casual blue skirt and tight white top, big boobs and long hair, I bought a really cute pink haired anime character figurine for my son-in-law. I also went to H&M to buy a pretty pleated green skirt, but it was sold out and they only had a horrid blue/grey and a boring beige.

Anyway, getting home, daughter told me she had never heard of the series my gift was from, so she told me to get changed to boy mode and she will help me get the correct figurine. We get to the shop, the figurine he likes was sold out and there was a little sign on the counter saying no refund/exchanges, so we got nowhere.

We went home, had lunch and around 1.30, I decided to "girl up" and re-visit the store with yet another character name on hand. The shop had plenty and they were the same price, and I gusted they felt sorry the poor uninformed crossdresser (maybe) and they helped me out.

So finally, with an appropriate figurine under my arms, this lady says a big thank you to Anime 2 You.

I still don't know what the heck the character is about and I still need to find another little gift to make up secret Santa value for someone who enjoys watching anime.
