Something I did last summer, and have begun again this year, is a bit of a departure from the "agreement."
I am continuing to do some epilating! I started doing the backs of my hands and the area between the second and third knuckles a couple months ago. I found this very satisfying. I have long, thin hands, that look fairly feminine when denuded. I don't see any reason to stop that. In addition, I am epilating the top of my Hobbit feet, my ankles, and about halfway to my knees. I believe that at Starbuck's this is called a half-calf.
Truly, this exercise is minimalist. It is for my gratification only, as it will make no difference in what I might wear in the heat of summer. Maybe it's a little bit of rebellion against the empire, as well.
I'm feeling a bit better after unburdening myself on the blog last night. Thanks for the kind comments about the blog, and the support with my marital issues. Y'all are the best.

These little things we can do to feel good about our bodies are huge boosters for me too! Down with the tyranny of furry monster body I say!

Whatever helps you be happy is well worth it, Leslie. Keep on keepin' on. :)
ReplyDeleteLeslie,
ReplyDeleteMy heart really goes out to you, epilate to your hearts content, if you are doing any, you know Mrs. Leslie is going to hold the grudge anyway, why not be totally yourself if you are going to be punished anyway? Hugs!!
OK, this may reflect on a streak of the masochist in me, but for a while before fully shaved legs were accepted by my Mrs, I would thin out the hair by plucking semi-randomly enough that without my glasses my legs looked almost smooth :-), but not so much my wife would actually notice.
