the_rckWhy on earth would a bra not have the brand name somewhere on it? It occurred to me yesterday that I could take the bra my mother got me that fits best and see if I could find it somewhere online and order 2-3 more of them. Unfortunately, the bra doesn't have a tag, and the information printed on it doesn't include any sort of name. I tried searching by the rn#, but that yielded nothing. Searching Amazon for 'front-closure bra 3xl' brought up a lot of stuff that was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a bra. I mean-- Men's bathing suits? Earrings? Dresses?
Scott is at work today, all day. The evening is going to be full-- We need to get to the library, and he needs to grill something so we have food. Well, it's cool enough that I could bake the meat in the oven, but Scott gets cranky when I do that if the weather is remotely good enough for him to grill. I also want him to go to either Whole Foods or Plum Market to see about getting samples of two of the lotions/ointments that the radiation folks recommend.
Cordelia's got a cold. I'm pretty sure I'm doomed to get it because Cordelia's been hugging me a lot and kissing me and so on. She's got a sore throat, and when she lies down, she coughs a lot. She got me up an hour after I went to bed so that I could dig out some cough syrup for her. I gave her the stuff I use (Kroger brand) since that's for ages 12 and up. Somehow or another the cup that came with the bottle vanished, so we had to use a much smaller cup twice in order to get her the full dose. I think she can find the bottle again and open it herself, so she can get some for herself at bedtime tonight. I mean, I will be around, but I'd like her to do a bit on her own.
I was hoping to try her with some Dayquil today to see if it's something she can take on a school day (I have problems with it, so it's possible she might), but Scott either hasn't bought any for a while or is keeping it in his lunchbox. I think the latter is more likely.
I have no idea whether or not catching Cordelia's cold will affect my radiation treatment. It's not mentioned in either of the handbooks they gave me, and I'm more than a little reluctant to google such a thing. I'll ask when I talk to someone about the lotion/ointment options. Even if I avoid this cold, Cordelia and Scott get a fair number of colds, and I catch about 2/3 of them. It's just part of our normal fall/winter.
It's kind of hard, watching all of the excitement over Yuletide and not participating. I think that not doing it was the right decision. I haven't written in months, and I'm not sure I will until after radiation and Christmas. I would like to, but somehow, I can't find the energy to do it. Possibly, if I started talking to someone about one of my projects, that might help, but I'm not sure that it would, and I'm not sure where or how to start those conversations or with whom. A lot of my WIP are stalled out at points where I really need to do something on my own to move them forward.
Cordelia is waiting eagerly for the new Rick Riordan book. I pre-ordered a copy from the local bookstore, and I had Scott get me some cash that I can send with Cordelia when she goes to pick it up. Cash is easier than trying to figure out the logistics of sending a check or paying by credit card. I expect that, if I called them, we could work something out with either check or credit card, but it would be a PITA when cash works just as well.
I applied for an account at the UM Credit Union last night. I think I filled everything out accurately. The website kind of panicked me by announcing that I had three minutes left to finish filling out the form before it wiped all the information and made me start over. I hadn't been particularly slow, and I still had reading their contract/agreement documents ahead of me, so the time limit seemed more than a little strange. I hadn't gotten up and walked away for even a minute, so it wasn't responding to a prolonged idle period. I have no idea.

Date: 2015-10-05 12:48 am (UTC)The bra that I want more of isn't a sports bra. It's just a regular bra, and they keep giving me a hard time about how I shouldn't wear this one because it's not exactly what they recommend. Never mind that they can't tell me where I can find what they do recommend.

Date: 2015-10-05 11:32 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, none of the ones I've looked at so far are in my size. They only go up to D cups, and I need at least a DDD (a little bigger would be better). I'm also primarily interested in compression if I'm going to take a gamble on a bra I've never tried before.

Date: 2015-10-04 07:17 pm (UTC)Similarly, tagless clothing has those printed-on tags that often wash off over time the laundry, making it much harder to buy more of the same item. Sigh. I keep wondering if they have really thought that through.
The credit union's website is definitely a little wonky.

Date: 2015-10-05 12:42 am (UTC)Scott's mother keeps sending me links for bras that she thinks, because they come up on a search that includes my size, actually come in my size but don't. And one that does come in my size is something that I looked at weeks ago but that has a lot of reviews talking about how horribly uncomfortable it is.
I found one bra today online that comes in my cup size in between 36 and 44 band sizes but suddenly no longer does a DDD at 46 and larger. Which... Really doesn't make sense.
