Proof of Life

I just want you all to know that I am still alive.  I know there were rumors that my sinuses had kidnapped me and were holding me for ransom until they were free and clear and I�m here to tell you that those rumors are true.  But, we�re making progress on the negotiations and my captors have offered up this proof of life photo to show I haven�t suffered too horribly at their hands:

You can almost see today's date...

That�s right; I actually made it in to work today after being out for nearly a week.  I am feeling slightly better, but I still can�t breathe through my nose and I�m still exhausted, so I basically wore pajamas to work:

 (Similar maxi dress, similar boots, similar cardigan)

I know everyone says that wearing a maxi dress feels like wearing pajamas, and it�s true.  They�re kind of great like that.  They�re also kind of great because they�re an item that can work well into fall, as long as it�s not raining.  Trust me, you don�t want to ride your bike in the rain in a maxi dress or skirt; they�re another item that takes forever to dry.  

Happily it�s still not raining here in Oregon, so I was able to wear my super-comfy maxi (Gap) which I made a little more autumn-appropriate with a bright yellow cardigan (gifted) and faux lace-up wedge boots (Kenneth Cole Reaction, v. old).  I also added a belt (thrifted) in an attempt to give myself some sort of waist being as I haven�t worked out in over a week now and have a midsection that appears to be made of pudding.  I have pudding abs, people; it�s not cute.

Pudding abs and mouth-breathing aside, I�m very happy to be back to work and back to posting nonsense.

Happy Monday, All!
