Shop and Hop Sweets

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'd like to share some gifts found on the Halcyon region, one of 24 (18 moderate, 6 adult) regions that are part of the SL23B Shop & Hop extravaganza. This is such a special celebration of SL's 23rd birthday, and I love checking out the designers' hard work to see what they're offering for sale and as free gifts :) My favorite of the Shop & Hop events tends to be the birthday ones since I know not everyone is into the other themes (Valentine, Christmas, Halloween) and the birthday themes are varied. This round's theme by the way is the Golden Age of Hollywood, and some of these displays are too impressive for words! We have until the 19th of July to visit and snap up some bargains and of course the freebies ♥. My best tip is to make use of the FabFree spreadsheet to make sure you don't miss a single gift.

My first look this evening is the Les Sucreries de Fairy *SL Bday Gift* outfit, which comes in 5 different color versions. Each of these has its own delivery HUD with Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn buttons to deliver the bra, panty, armband, collar, and garters. All of those are in PBR or traditional versions, so there are lots of possibilities here! I'm wearing grape on the left above and jade on the right (all PBR pieces), but you can also choose from carmin (deep red), forest, or navy. 

Our [Good Fairy] - Audie {Dress} gift is absolutely giving Hepburn vibes, and I couldn't be more delighted! Our top, skirt, and hat will be delivered in separate folders from the unpacking HUD, so I'll start with the hat which comes in solid and lace versions, each with or without hair built in. I'm wearing lace without hair, and you can see the lovely texture :) The top and skirt each include original and lace versions, all in a fitmesh M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizing. I am wearing the lace top and skirt pieces, and the skirt without the lace simply ends where the white satin does. There are so many ways to wear this elegant outfit, and there are 2 other gifts waiting for us there as well.

Maybe you need to unwind in something more casual, in which case I'd like to direct you to the ::Sweet Intoxication:: Kathy Top (BOM) - Purple set :) There are 3 versions of this lacy bra top included - vanity (left above), lavender (right), and purple, so you can choose your hue and wear on any BOM-compatible body. BOM is handy because it can be layered under mesh clothing easily, and on top of other BOM pieces if you wish. That's why I'm wearing my favorite marketplace gift with them, the Delizio jeans in white which is one of several colors in this free fatpack. They are BOM layers but we also receive appliers for Omega and Maitreya.

The Delizio jeans stayed on so I could safely share the Faida - Campus gift :) We can make it known that we are a baddie, both coming and going with this sporty and sassy top. I wasn't expecting the number 67, lol, although I am a hockey fan so lower numbers tend to be more common there. This cropped shirt is provided in sizing for Lara X, Legacy, Nhuma, Nhuma Momma, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. This is going to look fantastic no matter what you pair it with!

My final look will turn your nails into a stunning homage to the Golden Age of Hollywood. The Eventyra [Gift Pack] Nail Appliers - Vintage Film treat contains HUDs for Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, and Reborn, each with 3 designs to apply to your nails. Two can be seen here :) Naturally I am curious how one might replicate this type of look in RL, and I'm a bit stymied...gradient for the base by dabbing colors on with a makeup sponge, then a stamping set that has the ribbon of film on it? Whatever the answer is, I'm here for it in SL and RL! They would look amazing with the Audie dress I shared earlier too. 

My knee won't stop bouncing, thanks to feeling nervous about tomorrow's plans to get my eyeglasses so I can start preparing for cataract surgery. Picking out glasses isn't scary and neither is where I am going (much closer than initially planned) but it's step one of several that lead to a big scary thing. So that's where my head is at, and why I won't be blogging tomorrow night. That means I'll be back in July, doesn't it? LOL, time is flying and we cannot stop it. I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

These Gifts are WellMade

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we are headed to the [WellMade] store where there are plenty of free group gifts awaiting. Best of all, we can celebrate the last few days of Pride month with not just one but two terrific gifts of that theme :) I have been a group member for ages, so I double checked and it is still currently free to join and I always appreciate that since those are harder to find these days. The quality and generosity are certainly added reasons to be grateful, as I think you're about to see.

Our [WellMade] Be Proud Dress gift is the newest one it seems, as it is the large picture to the left of all the others on shelves. The dress fits Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Nhumana, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 18 colors each for top, skirt, and panty, 19 for the belt (bonus rainbow stripes!) and 9 metals. There are so many beautiful colors that make this a very versatile look.

Don't forget to check those bags on the shelves, which have small pictures of the gifts inside. You'll spot the [WellMade] Pride Romper GIFT among them :) It has a HUD with 5 different styles of rainbow stripes to choose from, and the doubled up halter straps make for a stunning rear view the way the strands dangle down the spine. There are sizes for Belleza, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Slink Hourglass mesh bodies provided. 

I also picked up the charming [WellMade] Manu Outfit *GIFT*, whose bold bow caught my attention immediately. The billowing tube top and full skirt are each provided in Belleza Classic, Belleza Curvy, Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizing. Its enclosed HUD offers 10 colors apiece for the top, skirt, wait, and bow, so we get to mix and match quite a bit :) I like having the bow contrasting the skirt so it really pops, but this outfit looks striking when all one color as well. 

My next look inadvertently became a bit July 4th themed, at least from the colors I randomly chose ;) Our [WellMade] Quincy Dress GIFT is a very pretty slip of a dress that is held in place by intricately wrapped ropes, in sizes for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies. Of course there is also a HUD, and that lets us choose from 22 colors each for the dress and the ropes. You could match them or pick contrasting hues, and I went just a shade darker or lighter instead of a totally different color :) Whatever makes you happy is how you personally should wear yours; my photos are always what I think of as 'serving suggestions', LOL! 

One final look of the evening, we have the [WellMade] Pallas Dress GIFT which will surely turn heads with that fun midriff cutout and the sassy leopard print in 18 gorgeous colors via HUD. The long sleeved dress is gathered down the front left of the skirt and tied, and I think the square neckline will frame lots of different styles of necklaces beautifully. Claim this gift and you'll receive sizes for Freya, Isis, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies.

I feel like both days of this weekend went by really slowly, but not necessarily in a bad way. Does that make sense? It was mostly just hot and quiet, with some gaming and mostly trying to relax and plan the upcoming week. I can't believe it's almost July already, when it feels like it was just Christmas or Valentine's Day. I hope you've all had a good weekend and are enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Shopping and Hopping

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I hope to influence your weekend plans with some more Shop & Hop SL23B gifts :) If you haven't started exploring the 24 regions yet, I think this would be a great time to enjoy the festivities. Every region has 20 stores represented, so there are 480 brands represented with discounted offers and free gifts. I keep them sorted by region, so tonight the gifts you'll see here are all from Poppy. The best way to ensure that you don't miss any free goodies is the FabFree spreadsheet that they have worked so hard to create and maintain :) The team keeps it up to date and just do an impressive job of collecting the info in the first place that I'm eternally grateful to them for it. We have some hot and rainy RL weather so if yours is similar, all the more reason to spend time in SL instead of outdoors.

First I'm enjoying the beautiful RosenRot - Leo Dress gift. I'm a huge fan of florals, and the flirty style has a cleavage cutout to match the ones in the back and the midriff. We receive sizes for Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Khara, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, and Reborn mesh bodies. 

Leave it to FTCOR to dazzle me with denim :) The :::FTCOR::DONNA_JEANS_ROMPER::: FATPACK gift will fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn mesh bodies. It also includes a HUD with 20 wonderful textures, some of which are shades of basic denim and many are patterned and tinted denim options. The variety makes me as happy as the denim itself, but let's not forget the crossed straps above that deep plunging back opening. 

If you've ever found a gift that was simply too cute not to share, I feel you! That was me when I tried out the Crowded Room - Chicken Plushie, which you can just add to automatically hold with both hands and give it a snuggle. Click and you'll see it squish a little, and it makes a squeak like a dog toy :) Fun fact - there are two sizes and I'm actually showing off the small here, LOL, so the large is even bigger! That's a lot of feathery fun to cuddle up with, and I'm going to make sure Xan picks up a copy for himself too. We both love the cuter side of SL like this :)

Sometimes in SL we want to turn up the heat even more, like the KiraStyle // 371 // gift of a full outfit. The dress, slip (C-string), and socks are each provided in Belleza Classic, Legacy, Pinup, Lara X, and Reborn body sizing, and there is a HUD with 5 colors apiece for the dress, slip, socks, and belt. It's impressive to me that as revealing as this outfit is, all the essentials are covered :) While I usually associate bold looks with the weekend, I also recognize that every day in SL can be weekend-like if we wish. We are creating our own realities after all, so you can be a genderless cat creature on Mars or visit the 17th century in an alternate universe. 

My final look of the night is a fantastic formal gift, the .:FlowerDreams:. Hanne gown. Isn't it stunning? The mesh gown comes in a fitmesh M size along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. The flexies for left and right (attached at each shoulder in the back) and flowers for left and right sides are each separate attachments, therefore optional if you feel like wearing the gown without them. I'm wearing both flexies on the left above but not on the right, although I am wearing the flowers in both even if they are only visible from behind :) Oh, one important option is that I also added the lights that give the fabric extra sparkle and reflectivity. You can try it on without the light and then with, see what you like better for where you are headed. 

It was a warm day, but nothing compared to tomorrow so I am not complaining (yet). Dinner at my parents' was nice, and we discussed barbecue-type plans for next week. Nothing unusual, just indoor grilling and the usual sides. The weather doesn't matter if you aren't cooking outside :) I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Fabulously Free

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post was a fun opportunity to explore the FabFree group gift listing, which I love doing from time to time. It seems there is always something new being added, but I also like to scroll down some and see what might have been on the list for a while and we might not have spotted before. They could be swapped out for newer gifts soon, but are absolutely worth taking a peek now :) I also find the list handy to introduce Xan to brands with male clothing (and potentially gifts) and for those times that we wish to redo our home decor a tiny bit without spending a fortune :) 

If you're feeling like Halloween season can't get here fast enough, maybe our .:BE BOLD:. Space Boo gift will give you that little spooky taste to tide you over ;) Personally I love the dark background that makes the bright colors of the pattern pop, so much so that even spiders and their webs are making me smile. Our top and skirt are separates, in sizing for Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. That saucy strap that slides off our shoulder adds a special something, much like the wrapped style of the short skirt. There are tons of other groups' gifts on this same wall, so see what other logos look familiar to you while you're here.

The Beautifully Broken - Beachy Shirt gift simply could not be more appropriate for me! It says "I don't hoard, I curate freebies" and well, my inventory size can attest to that one ;) The lovely lady in the image is surrounded by boxes labeled Freebie, Group Gifts, Demos, and Event Swag. There are classic S, M, L and fitmesh S, M, L sizes for classic avatars, along with Freya, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, Ocacin, Reborn, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh body sizing. There is also a HUD with 21 color buttons and a hidden 22nd version which is a striped Pride flag type rainbow :) Can you guess how to activate that one? Try clicking around on the HUD but not inside one of the colored squares. I'm wearing the blue Delizio jeans from their marketplace fatpack freebie, which show up on my blog quite often because they are just so versatile :)

Next we visit MONOMANIA to claim their Lace Delight gift, which certainly lives up to its name as you can see. There are 5 texture options via HUD, all floral and a couple of which are sheer, so I would recommend a nice solid pair of BOM panties beneath for modesty. The dress itself comes in Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Senra Jamie, Hourglass, and Physique body sizes. 

Our [Flaneur] Kiara Set gift is a perfect choice for when you're feeing Goth but also want to look sexy. The top and skirt are each provided in sizes for Lara X, Legacy, Nhumana, Reborn, and Squish bodies. That's an impressive view of our cleavage, isn't it? I can't forget to mention the bag that's part of the gift too, with its built in holding pose that shows off the embossed cross so nicely. 

Last but certainly not least, I really wanted to share one of the recent Pride themed gifts that are available. The .::DS::. Starr Pride 3 outfit from Dark Salvation is sporty and playful, with a cropped tank top and short shorts in white with purple racing stripes down the sides. The top says PRIDE and the shorts have a rainbow striped heart, so both pieces reflect your support for Pride month or any time of year. There are Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu sizes included. 

It was a strange day that turned out to be fairly productive yesterday, as I'd taken the day off for a long outing but we only went to a local park to hang out and enjoy watching dogs. It gave me a chance to discuss practical logistics of where to go for my eyeglasses, since I will probably have to go back at least twice which means being closer is better. First to order them, back to get them adjusted when they are complete, and again to get the lens replaced when I have the first cataract surgery and my vision in that eye changes. So there are 2 nearby places, an independent store and a Target with an optical department, which will be next week's outing/s :) The farmers market for Saturday has been canceled due to rain, so I will have to figure out a different motivation to leave the house again. Gaming night was really fun, and I love getting to know my friends better while enjoying these cozy games that make us laugh so much. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

SL23B Is Golden

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I'm sharing some SL23B gifts from the Golden region of Shop & Hop, one of my favorite events for finding new stores, longtime favored brands, and lots of discounts to make things budget-friendly. There are 24 regions (18 moderate and 6 adult) in our shopping area, with 20 stores apiece, for a total of 480 to explore and enjoy. That's why we have until the 19th of July, lol, as it is a lot to take in :) My advice is to bring friends to add to the fun, and use the FabFree spreadsheet that they've so kindly worked hard to create so you can ensure that you don't miss anything. I usually stick to the right, keep the gifts in folders by region, and make sure I grab landmarks for mainstores where possible if there is store credit as a gift that must be used at said mainstore.

My first look this evening is the lovely AlaFolie VERO Gift. This saucy dress has a lace inset and a diagonal ruffled hemline. There are Lara X, Petite X, Legacy, Perky, Prima Busty, Prima Petite, and Senra Jamie mesh body sizes included, as well as a HUD with 3 colors. You can apply the color of your choice to the entire dress first (as I did on the left) and then choose a different one for the trim/lace if you wish (right). I definitely appreciate the versatility :)

Another gift with several options is the Blue Blood - Lara Outfit I'm enjoying here. It consists of the top and skirt, each in black, blue, gray, green, purple, and red, all in Legacy, Perky, Petite, and Reborn mesh body sizing. We even receive a HUD with 4 metals for the buttons. I'm wearing the red top and skirt on the left, but went with the blue top and green skirt on the right for fun :) The black lace trim is consistent on all pieces, and I love the bows where the straps connect to the top. 

Summer is certainly upon us, and the Jack Spoon: Sel Bikini set - white gift is a fantastic way to enjoy the warm weather. Our bikini top has bold 3D flowers on each cup, and the bikini bottom is wrapped in a snowy white sarong that is linked to it as one mesh piece. Both of these will fit Legacy, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies just right. The lace trim on the right side where the sarong is tied in place may be a subtle detail, but it certainly caught my eye in the best way.

So you've got plans that involve a beach or pool, but you want to crank up the sensuality even higher? Our [F.C.O.] Dreza Bikini Black & Red gift is here to fulfill that wish :) It includes the top, bottom, and chains, all in sizes to fit Lara X, Legacy, and Reborn bodies. Since the chains are separate they are optional, so we can wear this look a couple different ways which is always a plus. Red and black is a smoking hot color combo for any time of year too, even if it is a minimal amount of fabric ;)

One last look of the evening, we have the gorgeous Ghee - SL23B GIFT dress to tempt us. They have a gold sequined column dress for us, in Erika, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Prima, Prima Petite, Reborn, Waifu, and Star body sizing. The black edging up top really shows off the gold even more, and what an appropriate region to find this gift in :) I feel like an award statue, LOL! Okay upon reflection (pun intended) I've decided that we all look even prettier than an award statue in this treat. Oscars don't have particularly stylish hair for one thing, and we get to play with makeup that they could only dream of.

Whew, have you ever found yourself arguing with AI? Sadly I can say that I have, as I share my blog posts on the Book of Faces and they have taken to notifying me that they can no longer recommend my page to new audiences. No reason given other than not conforming to community standards, and I do not think that any of my content is violent or highly sexual or anything that should be an issue. Eventually I realized that it's probably my #slfreebie and #slfreebies tags, as they mention content that people don't like such as scam giveaways. I promise these are not false advertising! Their technology (AI) keeps flagging me, and then that same tech keeps rejecting my appeals. I tried reasoning with their AI in the chat thingy on their support page, but I think you can guess how that went. I stopped using those hashtags but I think the damage is done, so I'll still post there but I would suggest checking my Social Media tag above and following me elsewhere too if you'd like :) Eventually they will probably decide to just close my FB page altogether, and if you're following me there I apologize in advance if you no longer see my content there. Otherwise I'm planning an outing tomorrow that has me stressed to the gills, so I am taking the evening off from blogging. I know it'll be okay, I just get very worked up ahead of time. I hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Happy Anniversary ACCESS

 Hiya everyone! Tonight's post is a part two of gifts from the ACCESS Event which is celebrating its 8th anniversary this round. Their group is free to join, and there are tons of generous treats for the members. I noticed plenty of male fashion gifts along with the female clothing and accessories, plus the mix includes decor too so a little something for all. We have just over 2 weeks remaining, as this round runs until the 8th of July :) Grab those gifts, pick up demos, and enjoy!

For my first look this evening I'm starting strong with our AURICA Anette Dress YELLOW gift. This sleeveless dress with daring diagonal hemline is just stunning, and the sunny color is sure to earn compliments. The gift includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, along with a metals HUD offering 3 tones for the clasps at the ends of the bows on the left hip and across our back. 

That dress shows off our arms so well that it seemed like a great opportunity to display the .:Vegas:. Tattoo Applier Eclipse group gift. In addition to appliers for Altamura, Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, Omega, Signature, and Slink bodies, we receive BOM layers too, all in dark, medium, and light versions. The unisex body art covers from upper arms down to the backs of our hands, with symbols just past the first knuckle on our hands. I love all the details, and the monochromatic design looks so fierce!

Sometimes we need to combine two gifts for one amazing look :) The Rosary. Cropped. Purple top is a beauty with crossed straps in the front, creating a frame for our cleavage. There are sizes for Kupra, Lara X, Legacy, Reborn, R. Risque, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. A high waisted pair of pants really does suit that top nicely, such as our [Grazed] Minerva Pants // Black gift. They have suspender straps hanging down each hip and racing stripes on each side, plus openings in the front to show off a little leg :) We receive Legacy F, Legacy M, and Reborn sizes, so these are unisex and are baggy enough that they might even work with other bodies if you try. 

I really seem to have brought my inner rebel out to play today! Those pants look terrific with the Gaia - gift bralette top ACCESS Birthday. This shirt is as versatile as it is edgy, thanks to the HUD that offers 7 metal colors as well as an on/off option for the sleeves (both ways shown above). There is sizing for Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies provided. The little cross is lovely, and did you notice the subtle butterfly on the fabric?

One more look tonight, we wrap up with the flirty Stiff - Maxinne Shirt - Olive group gift. It is just long enough to be worn as a dress, or we can layer some leggings or jeans beneath if we wish. It fits Lara X, Legacy, Perky, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies, and includes a HUD with 20 colors for the wide belt. I liked the black to bring out the dark collar, but I'm also a fan of mixing things up sometimes :)

It was a stressful day because of the weather, potential tornadoes in the area so I had to be ready to evacuate if things got worse. That meant I had to miss my support group meeting, which gave me a small case of the blues. I'll be fine, and I'll catch up with everyone there in 2 weeks, but for now I feel guilty and I genuinely miss seeing them. Otherwise I'm still working on planning the rest of my week, and exploring all the things in SL ;) I hope you're all having a nice day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Sassy and Swanky

 Hiya everyone! Tonight we swing by the SWANK Event again for their Pride Hunt which is part of the Celebration of Colors themed round this month. The gifts are found inside rainbow striped flames, easy to spot and free if you have their free group tag active :) Be sure to explore both floors of this impressively sized event, and I'm confident that you will be very pleased with the sales offers and gifts you encounter. I obviously was as usual, lol, and will always happily plan on a high priority visit to these events.

My first look of the evening is a playful bodysuit with artwork of a voodoo doll seated on the front. The [LABELITA] Camilla Body Red gift includes sizes for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Juicy mesh bodies. I'm not sure exactly what the doll signifies, but he looks like he could use a hug. I'm always up for that :) The ruffles are a flattering detail, and I always wind up drawn to the boldness of bright red.

Some of the treats are indeed Pride themed, like our Nala Design - Marianna Pride Outfit 1. The dress, anklets, and heels are all designed to fit Legacy, Perky, Petite, Maitreya, Maitreya Petite, Lara X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. We also receive the rainbow earrings you see here, which go so well with the bands on the dress and the platforms of the shoes :) Speaking of shoes, how fun are those chains that drape across the toes and then along both sides? The anklets are optional since they are separate, but I do think they add a special something to the look.

{Le'La} Makana Set Gift is another great gift that you do not want to miss :) The top, cardigan, and skirt each come in sizes for Erika, Erika Bubble, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kups, Legacy, Nerido, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Reborn, and Juicy bodies. Then we can add the garters which fit Erika, Erika Squeeze, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Kupra Maze, Legacy, Legacy Maze, Reborn, and Reborn Maze thighs. The little heart shaped coin purse on the left garter is a really clever touch, and in case it's not clear the tank top says "Limited Edition". Yes, we are!

Find the Black Angel Store flame, and you'll receive their VESNA DRESS by BA Store as your reward :) I must say, leopard print is one of those things that may rise in prominence from time to time but never truly goes out of style. It looks great here on the top and straps, contrasting the black skirt which looks oh so sexy with that opening on the left thigh. There are Erika, Gen X Classic, Gen X Curvy, Kupra, Legacy, Bombshell, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh body sizes included. 

For my last look of the night, I combined two gifts that look so nice together that I've been wearing this outfit off and on for a couple of weeks now ;) The Vulnus Pride Hunt Gift knotted top has rainbow colored trim to match the rainbow arch and clouds on the front, and the upper back says "Vulnus 4 Pride" in multicolored text. We receive sizing for Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, Lara X, Petite X, Reborn, and Waifu mesh bodies. Then I added our AXE SHORT ESTELA GIFT, one of my favorite pairs of shorts I've seen in SL in ages :) The floral pattern has lovely 60s and 70s vibes, just so bright and cheery, and the length is nice if you're wanting a decent amount of coverage (no cheeks hanging out lol) without feeling stuffy. They fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies. With all those pretty colors of flowers, you could wear just about any top that you wish with these!

It felt like a long weekend, like each day went pretty slowly for me...I'm glad I went to the farmers market and it was nice despite being fairly hot, and I am relieved that I got lots of rest today. I don't know yet when I'll be going out anywhere this week, but it will most likely be to get my eyeglasses finally. The weather may affect that, but it just seems like common sense to have glasses as backup anyway when you wear contact lenses. I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
