I can't believe this morning was the first day in 6 days I woke up in my own house. Being in the hospital that long was like going a vacation and staying in a bad hotel, or something like that. So waking up at home made me feel like I wasn't sick anymore, in fact I thought I was feeling so much better that I started acting like I was normal and started going about my day. But I quickly learned I have
very little energy. So back to taking it easy I go.
Since I am taking it easy, I still haven't really ventured outside the house, or gotten ready for leaving the house. It has been over a week since I have worn my staple mascara or wedges. And I actually decided I am not putting mascara back on until I am back to normal, something about seeing myself in the mirror without mascara reminds me I need to take it easy and to relax. I did however try on my new
Pierre Hardy for Gap wedges with my outfit today. They arrived while I was in the hospital and had been waiting to be opened up. They are pretty funky and not all that practical but I adore the big bow and chunky wedge. And they seemed super comfortable, even for being sky high!
Thinking I was good to go for the day, I was actually contemplating going shopping.
Not a chance.

Close up of
shoes.These are "me" shoes for sure!

After realizing shopping in stores was not in my cards today, I swiftly headed back to my computer for some online retail therapy and removed my wedges.


Even when in chill mode wearing a shirt made me feel a little more put together then a
hoodie would have. And my chambray shirt is so soft and is just as comfy.

All about comfort: an H&m tunic,
Urban outfitters bralette , an old head-wrap and once again my hospital bracelet. That bracelet is not coming off until I venture outside of the house, just another reminder to
chill.

Lastly I received an Edible Arrangement today! It was so fun and yummy. I have only been craving fruit and turkey sandwiches (yes I have been eating meat!) so this arrangement was perfect!
Thank you Dave, Christine, Karen and Steve!
Yay for fancy fruit, fun footwear and finally realizing what it means to relax.
Hope you get better soon, Amber! Online retail therapy is a good way to relax too :-)
