Just dropped a small fortune on new clothes for the job. Down 3-4 sizes on shirts and 2 on pants. Worth every penny.

Ultimately, I'm gonna have to have plastic surgery to remove excess skin (and hence lose more sizes), but this works for now.

We were down at the Nelson (our Art Museum) out and about catching Pokemon last night...and I think I got winded maybe once, because I was doing a lot of steps. That felt REALLY good.

Mother. Fucker.

Catch 22 now for him. If Dak does great, will they keep him in? If he sucks, will the season be too far gone to save?

Hoping for something in the middle I guess. I want Tony to get his ring.

Phone call with DanaC last night.
I think her mind is honestly even filthier than mine.
(Yes, I did say I'd do Chorlton, but you were the one who brought the tail into it)

And yes babba, it's a competition

It's at the point where I wish Romo was on a different team because I would like to root for the guy. Hall of famer and a good dude.

I love Detroit. I have met so many awesome people here over the past 2 years and seen so much awesomeness. I'm not pulling up the stakes and moving the family here, but this is a very underrated town.

Dwellars.

Introduced to the P method of breathing by Limey. She's not actually a doctor (unlike DanaC) but her practical advice on dealing with breathlessness really helped.

Had a major phone emergency, helped out as always by the Mighty Carruthers. I have a new phone, even if I can't work it yet. In fact it's driving me crazy (crazier) but I know I'll work it out.

And kind thoughts and messages for the poor sad sack that I am. They are always treasured.

Oh and I got two new items of clothing for £3.49!
I got a pair of white trousers from the clothing exchange when I was at St Anne's. Lovely, but limited. Doubt I'll be wearing them again now September's come. And I loved, loved, loved my white dress, but hey - you can get bored with anything. So I bought some fabric dye and salt, and now have lilac trews and dress. I was concerned it looked very grey when I first took it out, but that was probably because it was midnight. May not wear either again until next year - see above re September - but feel all crafty and clever about it.

Got a letter from Sundae yesterday. Sat with Daniel and read every word. Had to explain a lot to him too. We spent over an hour just reading and talking without any electronic interruptions.

I tried not to be patronising and pitch it too low. Figured you'd be able to explain anything too English at least.
Glad you enjoyed it.

<3 Loved every word. I'm AMAZED how you filled every square inch of space with writing. I think you missed your calling. You should be an author.

4 weeks ago, I came to Detroit with rough sketches and ideas about the future and the project. Today, we have 3 offices staffed with 200 awesome employees. This city and its people have welcomed us warmly into their communities, and we are incredibly grateful for that. 41 days until Election Day. I really don't care who you vote for, so long as you vote.

I'm just glad he's managed to not get killed to death while there.
