Interesting side effects

jaunthieSo it finally happened, and rather sooner than I had expected (and yes, I know that's somewhat oxymoronic or at least inherently contradictory. So sue me). I went to the opera with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hiker_chick last night. I had my outfit all picked out - the lovely bronze-colored, hand-made, custom-tailored fancy outfit my friend Luthien's fabulous mother G made for me as part of Luthien's wedding. Only one snag...
...it's too big for me now. I've shrunk out of it since Luthien's wedding.
Okay, one part of me really wants to do a serious happy dance. Another part of me knows I will never own such a perfectly gorgeous, created-just-for-me masterpiece ever again. And it left me seriously scrambling for something appropriate to wear to the opera; I just don't have a lot of fancy outfits, y'know?
...okay, so I can stand to have such problems. Really. And hiker_chick didn't kill me when I mentioned why I wasn't wearing the expected outfit, which says a lot for her self control and generous spirit. But still, even though I'm happy about it...it's still rather weird, and I'm sad I can't wear that gorgeous outfit anymore. It's very special to me.
On a less ambiguous note, it was a very good walking week. Between walking to coffee with my husband this morning and a fun and productive walk withmonkeybard and Aviva this afternoon, I have 5.92 miles in on the day...which brings my weekly total to 23.75 miles. I've broken the 20 mile mark for a week!!

Hiker_chick squeals, jumps up and down (in heels), and does other totally undignified chick-happy-dance things.
Please don't let my (temporary, I hope) struggle dampen your wondrous glory. It really does inspire me that dietary, cardio-vascular, and other life changes can make a significant difference.
