supplicium post mortem

By my reckoning, we have earned 21 points. * Well done, kids. And since points make prizes, it is prize time, yay!

Here, then, is a picture from last night, what I wore to a tgi costume party (i.e. casey’s boy school uniform). It has the unfortunate effect of making me look really large and square. Oh well, as Mija has pointed out, uniforms are not supposed to be flattering. And, if they are, it would mean you are some young vixen going, Lolita-like, to parochial school, which I most certainly am not, even if I wanted to.

The nice surprise was that my coat fit right in. Who knew when I bought it (five months after M died) that I was actually buying the overcoat to casey’s uniform?? FYI, except for the overcoat, I haven’t put on these clothes since before he died, viz in over 18 months. Needless to say, it was very strange. But at least it didn’t make me burst into tears, so that is progress!

Story from the archives will be posted later today or tomorrow. No requests have been made, so I will pick the one that makes me cringe the least. Several people–flatteringly–said they wanted a story written for them. We need some more delurkers for that, but I don’t think there needs to be a deadline particularly. So, game still open.

* Each returning commentator earned 1 point, each delurk 2 points, and Mija earned us an extra point for being clever.
