Chill pills

As hard as it is for me to sit still, I’ve done my best to chill out and relax today.

I thought I would have slept like a baby last night, but I didn’t. I just couldn’t get comfortable.

My only job for today was to go for another fitting for my wedding dress.
Curiosity got the better of me this morning, so I stepped on the scales and found I was 3lbs lighter than I was yesterday. Who knew the frame was that heavy?!

Frame aside, I’ve lost weight elsewhere too as my dress was a perfect fit! The seamstress was delighted I’ve made her job so much easier.

Between us, we reached the decision that I’m going to keep the boot on for the wedding.
Luckily, I saved my smaller heeled shoes (that I bought for the wedding) from the charity shop pile and even though I can only wear one, it balances me out perfectly when I walk.

Even though I’ve been granted permission to ditch the boot for the wedding day, I don’t mind admitting that walking without it (over cobbles and grass) terrifies me. So I’d rather play it safe, and feel confident and comfortable walking about.

Walking round the shop in my dress made me a bit emotional. Everything is suddenly happening all at once!
Another consideration in my choice of footwear is that I now have to walk down the aisle alone as my Dad and Stepmum aren’t coming with us. She had a (long overdue) hip replacement on Monday, so doesn’t feel she will be up to it (she’s 81 this year so not as mobile as she once was). Of course I understand but I’m gutted they won’t be there to share the day with us. As are they.
I have to remember that the original plan was just for the two of us to go away, so not to dwell too much on other peoples decisions. There’s only one person I truly want to see at the end of the aisle and I know he will be there ;-)
