wow, i am so tired. it is sunday night, after a very eventful weekend. my younger sibling came to visit me, and we went to a very large thrift store in my area. we spent three hours there, and i obtained at least a year's worth of new clothes. my younger sibling is my personal fashion consultant, so it was helpful to have them with me in that process. in particular, i got a lot of light, flowy, natural-fiber clothing, to help me cope with the hot weather. they also helped me cull and organize my wardrobe in general. i have a bag of things to donate, and more space for the new things i found. i'm actually excited to wear my clothes now, which i must say i haven't felt in a pretty long time.
we also did some bleach dyeing with another friend who came over to hang out. i did my usual bleach-dyeing technique, which involves throwing splatters of bleach randomly onto my clothes and hoping they come out cool. but my sibling and friend both did very careful, intricate designs that they painted onto the clothing with a brush. even though it was both of their first time trying doing it, the results were very cool, and i think i'll try it too next time, in addition to my random splashing.
today, my sibling left, and my partner returned from a 2 week family trip to alaska. so we went on a long walk together and caught up. it was pretty hot again today, for the fourth day in a row, but i read that it's supposed to cool off tomorrow. i hope the cooler weather leaves me feeling a bit less drained...
