I can't remember the last time i saw the sun or even the sky transform itself into a richer blue. More than often such warmth is gone in what feels like a blink of an eye. I watched the ball of fire rise higher in the sky this morning and the snow below seemed to sparkle as the light reflected off it.
It was beautiful.
And then i thought to myself, maybe, just maybe today will be a good day.
For the past couple of days the temperature has been pretty much constant and hovers around the below zero degree Celsius mark. But yesterday for some reason was exceptionally cold, i think it was -4˙C.
I mentioned to J that i saw some crazy arse icicles forming on one of the houses and so on our way home from the supermarket we thought we'd have a look.
But the lighting was really bad so i couldn't get a clear shot. What a shame cause i reckon they were at least half a metre in length, if not more. And i'm sure if they broke off and landed on somebody, it would do some serious damage. The other day i saw a report of what a massive icicle could do to a watermelon if it fell. Let's just say the watermelon was crushed.
So my latest obsession of looking for huge icicles around the area started to grow.
We did end up finding another house with icicles forming below their balcony. They're not as big but still rather impressive.
And something totally unrelated, right after we ended up checking out the new Orion erotic store that just opened last month. We've passed it so many times on our way into the city and thought we'd have a look. It's located right at a main intersection so everyone who stops at the traffic light takes a sneak peak at the window display. And although you can't really see what's inside from the outside, often the maniquins are adorned with provocative outfits which no doubt attract the eyes of on-lookers.
Upon entry of the store, the place was brightly lit. The layout of the store was pretty straight forward with each section titled. On the back wall it was hard not to miss the brightly coloured phallic objects in cardboard boxes hanging on the wall like a set of family picture frames. Everything was tastefully done and there definitely wasn't a sense of "dirtiness" to the place. Such friendly factor also makes customers feel at ease. Unlike some sex shops, this erotic chain that has over 150 stores throughout Germany does not have those booths at the back where one can have a "quick release".
But i have to say i was impressed with the range of items they had in store. It was quite extensive compared to other places i've seen even in bigger cities.
I had a sense that at the start, the guy at the cashier kept a watchful eye over us, perhaps fearful that customers might steal something. But then J ended up asking him some questions about a contraption hanging on the wall and that seemed to have broken the ice. Eventually the guy was more than happy to explain various other items he had in store.
So whilst J got updated on what the latest gadget was, i was fixated on looking at the corsets and lingerie.
But i fell in love with a reversible decorative corset [Blue with white flowers on the outside and white with blue flowers on the inside].
I ended up trying it on over my 3-quarter sleeve top with the help of the middle-aged sales woman. She was careful not to pull it too tight as my wounds are still healing. And went into great detail to explain to J how to tighten the corset and went on to giving me whatever tips she had.
When we asked which size stockings i should get, the sales woman stood beside me to compare her leg length with mine and suggested that i was a one size smaller than hers. Now that's the first time anyone's done that! If J hadn't of asked, i probably would have gotten the smallest size which would have definitely have been too small.
So i have to say it makes a huge difference when sales people actually know what they're talking about, especially if they too buy the products that they sell.
Did you know when lacing a corset, you tie it up in the middle? [See figures 3 & 4 in diagram] As opposed to at the bottom of the corset. I did not know that. It looks rather complicated but i was reassured that it's simple. But we'll see about that.
Mine laces up at the front and at the back. This is what it looks like at the front and it has detachable garters. And although it'll be a few weeks till i can actually wear it, it's definitely an incentive to get better soon.
But i'm still adjusting to the healing process.
And even though occasionally i get those slight stabbing pains, the pain is not as bad as before. Sometimes it feels like someone is using my ovaries as a pin cushion. It's not pleasant but at least it doesn't feel like something is ripping or being squeezed inside of me.
I think i still waddle slightly when i walk but that will soon go once the swelling is down. I'm not allowed to lift anything for at least another 3 weeks but for some reason i keep forgetting. I find myself so exhausted even after doing the simplest of tasks, which can be quite annoying especially when i'm trying to get things done.
Plus i'm also encouraged to rest as much as possible and to avoid stress.
I have a new project lined up which i'm really relieved about and that should keep me busy for the next few months. But i'm taking it slow and giving myself a few more days of rest before i really get back into the swing of work.
So yeah, my day continues...
