I attempted to purchase fancy cell phone (iPhone 11 Pro Max (but I keep wavering between it and the 11 Pro), but Discover put a fraud freeze on my account. Ok. But no fraud specialist available until the next morning. Not cool.
Still struggling with my costuming, but managed to finish one petticoat and develop a strategy to get an 18th c outfit done by Versailles Ball.
Squeal! There’s an annual historical fashion show at a localish museum. I’ve been invited to wear my 1875 teal evening gown. So I need to alter for weight loss and finishing stuff that I hadn’t gotten to. The weight loss is good for me, but as a costumer, it’s a pain in the arse.
Oh, I have unexpected Amazon credit so I’m building my disaster kit. Suggestions?

Shameless plug:
A friend of mine has a Kickstarter for a digitized lace museum. She has a gorgeous collection. Please support. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elizabetheme...

I managed to save enough to cover legal costs of setting up a trust, end of life and incapacitated paperwork. The fun part is my textiles and costuming collection is easily worth $10,000 - $20,000. That snuck up on me.
Besides that for 2020, I'm starting to scope out possible retirement locations and building a down payment for a retirement house. Currently looking at Ashland OR. Suggestions welcome. I think I mentioned it before, but I would be out of state so I would be renting or airbnb the house until retirement.
