If I'm guilty of vices other than gluttony, I'd say that my next one might be sloth. Laziness is a hidden trait that can be attributed to me, as I don't like to work. This doesn't mean that I won't work hard. I just avoid hard work whenever I can.
Over the past few months, I have allowed messes to accumulate in the corners of my apartment, and I decided to attack one for a few hours (with a lot of breaks). It's amazing what one can accomplish when one breaks work down into manageable chunks. (I guess that my experience of being a project manager helps me in this regard.)
Sooner or later, I will get everything organized in my apartment. Until then, expect me to talk about my mess now and then.

This weekend, the weather is supposed to be bad. So, when I go out as Marian, I'll be wearing a dress over leggings, mimicking the kind of garments a cisgender woman would be wearing in inclement weather. I've found that the leggings I've bought from Universal Standard are of a much higher quality than what I have bought from Woman Within. So, I'll try to up my garment game in the future by buying garments from brands I know have the quality level I want.
Why do I mention garment quality? Simple. I'm finding that well made athleisure garments tend to be more forgiving of odd shaped people when they are worn. Not once did I have to pull up Universal's leggings during a day of wearing (except when taking bio-breaks, of course). I can't say this about the leggings I have bought from WW or Walmart.
There will always be some garments I'll buy at cheaper outlets. But now that I have developed a sense of my own feminine style, I can afford to buy clothes that I expect will last, instead of clothes I know will end up in a donation bag after a few wearings.
