You did look fab, so the effort was not wasted in that sense.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/effort-for-what-turned-out-to-be-a-down-day#post-2316225 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 14:48:18 +0000 Lisa W 2316225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Your MIL must be in her 90's. As you already know, this can be a tough, exhausting time, and I am sending hope that you and your family will also have the moments of deep connection that can also be part of this life stage.&nbsp;&nbsp; You are generous to support your DH and BIL - and perhaps this can help them get to those moments of significant connection with their mother.&nbsp; May you all have as much ease and grace as is possible.</div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/effort-for-what-turned-out-to-be-a-down-day#post-2316215 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 12:03:50 +0000 Olive Green 2316215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ive had a few days like that. &nbsp;I hope your outfit felt comfortable and warm the whole time. And unexpected hospitalization was one of the reasons I changed up my style a bit. Anything I could not walk long distances in, or sleep in if needed, was off the table.&nbsp;<br />The utilitarian aspect of clothing really shows up under changing or stressful conditions.&nbsp;<br />May your family be well and happy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/effort-for-what-turned-out-to-be-a-down-day#post-2316201 Sun, 02 Apr 2023 03:59:08 +0000 cjh 2316201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I put effort into outfit selection. I have not “dressed up” since New Year’s Eve. Today we went to see our grandkids play basketball, and our daughter, SIL and the kids were taking us out to eat to a nice steak place for hubby’s 70th birthday.</p> <p>I chose my nicest, dark, loose straight jeans, black patent leather lug sole loafers, dark gray floral print chiffon blouse with tie neck, shirred cuffs and waistline, and cool gray, dark blue and lilac print socks, which matched the blouse colors. I felt rather stylish and great for a celebration. The sweater actually looked nice, but was chosen for warmth as it was cold and windy today, after tornado storms yesterday. Fun.<br /><div><br /></div><div>We saw one of the two games, well, I did as hubby was on the phone with his brother and a nurse at his mom’s residence. Then we left before the second game, drove 1.5 hours because his mom went to hospital. So I sat in ER waiting area until 9:30 p.m., and when we got back home, I tidied up a guest room and sprayed and wiped down the bathroom for his brother to stay. I also started a load of laundry. MIL was admitted and will be there a few days.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, we ate McDonalds burgers on the way to hospital in the car.&nbsp;</div> </p>
