They DO "discourage authenticity" Char, and I really like that. Think of it like another Halloween where you get to play dress up, paste a smile, and erm eat? Hell it's been so long since I've 'mingled' I dunno.
I like the pretty colors and packaging and ribbons and decorations. Like, if ever once in my life I had a spare dime that DIDN'T go to my health or lack thereof, I'd be scared of the things I would have bought and then had to store. Have you seen the movies with some people's attics? Shit. I don't even have an attic, a basement, or a panic room– there's nowhere to store ANYTHING.
However, Adrienne is hiring a MAID in a couple weeks whooot whooot! My mom and sister are frowning, but I don't care, fuck em. Sister has a hubby who's quite handy, and mom well she's starting to hope I really do it this year because those blood clots totally f'd up my cleaning and now it's all too overwhelming to bother. Flare from hell isn't helping. No energy.
I'm also hiring an organizer to help me finish MOVING INTO my cottage, box by box. It won't take long, I've long since tossed all the clothes that don't fit, I don't wear, or don't like. I've sold some on ebay, giving much away, it's gone. I am NOT a hoarder thank goodness, but being alone means yup, I am DOING it this year because I deserve it.
I gots a little trouble keeping on track don't I
