So far so good. He had to have spinal surgery yesterday. He injured his back but we don’t even know how and things got worse rapidly . So yesterday he had an MRI and then went right in to surgery. Now they will keep him for a few days . So any good thoughts or prayers are appreciated.
That is a photo I took just before I realized he was not looking to cheerful.

Love and prayers for him
 
I managed to add carrying a third bag for December when nipping out to pick up some essential food shopping. Mulberry Tessie Oxblood hobo. It’s a great winter shopping bag. I normally use it lots but clearly haven’t been out much as it’s not been carried. Most of my shopping has been online this Christmas. This photo doesn’t do justice to the gorgeously thick leather and belt like shoulder strap .

Adding a 4th December bag - still very practical. Kate Spade nylon/leather crossbody tote for walking the dog with my mother-in-law and DDs.

So helpful, and I wasn't even the one who asked you the question! I'll put this into practice, thank you!


This! :heart:
I was saying to a friend via PM earlier on, I've been thinking about how far away I am from the person I want to be; how I want to be a better, more helpful, more generous, kinder person moving forward. But as I read this line, it occurred to me how grateful I am for the person I was and currently am, because everyone has to learn to crawl before they walk. Hoping I can leave behind the lesser-than version of myself that doesn't fit anymore- along with any material belongings that come with that- and grow into more.
I know I've strayed away from the point you were making, but I find that I learn so much in the way of unexpected "extras" from everyone's posts. :smile:

I think one of my hardest parts is seeing all the “mes” I used to be. The Japanese woodblock collector, the 1930-1970s animation expert, the restorer, the Pearl dealer. The poet and the painter and the glass artist. I’m not that person any more. But I miss her. So I held onto her “stuff” in case she came back - does that make any sense all?

And now I have to say “look, she’s left. And I’m here. So, let’s make space for the me of now, and not the person I used to be.”

poor baby! All the love and prayers. Please let us know when he’s pulled through!
 
I realized it will be too hot for a scarf around my neck 80% of the year in Atlanta, where we are moving. My scarf collection will be neglected! I've been curating it for years. :confused1:

So....I got a bit of attention off of buying bags by starting the process of building a vintage-silk-&embroidery-kimono-sash-as-belt to cinch my new(thank you liposuction, I know this was the easy way out via thousands of dollars rather than hard work so feel free to think less of me --I kinda do, too!), smaller waist that I think will go great with my wardrobe. I've bought 5 ($30 or less) belts. I'm about to get a sixth ( :biggrin: And 9 silk kimonos as stylish house robes.

Relax, please. There´s no judging on here! You decided to have the liposuction done and are happy with the result- that´s all that counts! Enjoy your new tiny waist and please show us the obi belts and kimonos once you get them!

Oh my posts should always be taken with a VERY firmly planted tongue in your cheek. CE8CA75C-39B8-4062-BD07-7A022AD404FD.jpeg my favorite one
