Boue Soeurs silk charmeuse dress, the bodice embroidered at the center with a basket of blooms on an organdie ground, filet lace insertions below and to the rear of the bodice, fastened by tiny buttons. The sleeves are trimmed with Valenciennes lace, with slotted satin ribbons to the front and also forming inner shoulder straps. The skirt falls in a double pleated tier in Valenciennes lace. Known as a “lingerie frock”. From Kerry Taylor Auctions.
literally all the dreams i remember from the past few feverish days i was being pursued by someone/something unclear and just convinced it was gonna kill me when it got to me. so i was just in different weird spaces feeling like i’m gonna die. lol
idk what traumatized or mentally ill person needs to hear this but dreams (especially the really disturbing ones you dont want to talk about to anybody) arent some deep peek into your psyche or a sign of your True Desires or whatever theyre quite literally your brain making fruit salad with whatever it can find on the shelf. just putting all that shit in a blender and hitting obliterate. its fine, youre fine, youre not a weirdo for it
have had a virus that is mainly just a pounding sinus headache for over 2 days but i absolutely cannot take 3 days off in a row (just because i’ve decided it’s too much; no one said i can’t) & the Tuesday Extra Scaries i’m having right now are. killing me.
i hate going back to work after being sick for more than a day bc people are like “are you ok” and it’s like. i don’t want to sound contagious because i don’t necessarily have to get close to anyone anyway (can’t remember if i have any meetings scheduled for tomorrow but i definitely missed some monday & today). but also kinda weird to be like “yeah i’m fine” and not explain why i was out for 2 days.
idk hopefully everyone just assumes i have something contagious and leaves me alone lmfao.
