Well it's the end of October as I write this round up of my month, and it's just 8 weeks until Christmas. For me, the run in to Christmas begins after Bonfire Night on 5th November, so not long to go.
Halloween
I usually produce a special Halloween image using AI, to post on my Flickr photostream and this is my offering for this year.

A rather dramatic look to instill fear into the hearts of all who set eyes upon it.
Health And Fitness and Caring.
Healthwise it's not been a bad month. A bit of fibromyalgia pain and a couple of bad migraines, but not too bad.
I had my 6 monthly dental checkup and all is going well with my oral health, so that's good.
On the fitness front, I have done a lot of walking to try and lose weight. The trouble is, I have actually put on a small amount of weight and then stuck there for a couple of weeks at 95kg. This is a little disheartening after all of my efforts, but I can see some signs of losing flab, so I'm hoping it's increased leg muscles that are behind the increase in weight. I think I need to take some measurements and use them alongside my weight to assess my losing unwanted fat. I definitely feel a lot stronger and healthier.
As to my caring role, it's been the usual challenging routine, but fairly stable. My Wife is finding it harder to get around, which does add to my burden somewhat.
Dressing
I only managed a couple of dressing sessions in October. But they were very enjoyable and I got some good photos, despite a memory card failure, which meant that I had to go back and take a lot of the photos again.
I chose to wear a couple of my vintage dresses and I was very pleased with the results. I do love dressing in such a way. It's just so feminine and lovely.
I've also bought another blonde wig, this time a long one. It was only cheap on Amazon. I'm not sure about it, as I've never had hair below my shoulders before. It looks reasonable quality for the money. I'll give it a proper wear later next month. I only bought it on a whim, and it wasn't expensive.

November's Plans
At the moment all of my attention is focused on getting ready to visit my friend, Veronica later next week. I've got my outfits planned and I'll be getting my bag of girly gorgeousness together over the weekend. All that I need is for my Wife's condition to stay stable both before and on the day. And that has become a lot more variable in the last year or so. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because I really need this visit to happen and go smoothly, because I always feel rejuvenated by these visits. And it's been just over a year since I last saw her, and I miss her.
Later in the month, I'm hoping to go out dressed in public for a morning, with a trip to a nearby town. It's been a while since I've been out like this. Hopefully it will happen because I'm really looking forward to it.
And that's me, for now.

Hi Evil Woman, nice frocked-up photos.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get your girly time in November. Your life is not easy and you need breaks.
Thanks for your comments on my blog, Dee. Much appreciated. I'm still experiencing trouble replying to them so it's time to consult a guru ...

Thanks Sue. I'm back to being Nice Girl now Halloween is over. Sadly my visit to Veronica has had to be postponed, as her wife has a bad cold, so we are hoping to rearrange my visit for December. I'm still planning on having my little trip out later this month. I hope your blogging gremlins disappear soon.

Dee, Thanks for sharing your October roundup, it sounds like it’s been a busy but rewarding month for you!
ReplyDeleteIt’s great to hear that, health-wise, things are relatively stable despite the fibromyalgia and migraines. I completely understand the frustration with the weight scale, sometimes our bodies surprise us, especially when muscle gain comes into play.
I can imagine your caring role is challenging, especially with your wife finding it harder to get around. Your awareness and dedication to her really come through, and it’s impressive how you balance everything.
Your dressing sessions sound wonderful! Vintage dresses always have such charm, and it’s lovely to hear how much joy you get from them.
The new long blonde wig sounds exciting!
It sounds like November has some exciting plans lined up, especially your visit to Veronica. I really hope everything goes smoothly with your wife’s health so you can fully enjoy your time together, those moments of connection and rejuvenation are so important. And fingers crossed for your public outing too, it’s great that you’re planning something that excites you and helps you feel more yourself.
Wishing you a November full of confidence, fun, and a little bit of adventure!

Hi Lotte.Thank you for your lovely, thoughtful comments. My plans for November have hit a bump in the road, as Veronica's wife has a bad cold, so my visit is being postponed, but hopefully will be going ahead next month. I'm still planning on going out later this month, so fingers crossed for that.
DeleteI gave the new wig a quick try on, and it looks quite good. I'll try and have a proper dress with it later this week.
