Party update →[More:] I ate something the day before that gave me food poisoning and I still have cramps. Bought tons of Pepto-bismol and Immodium which helped some. I had bought a garter belt last year which fit then (Diki in the UK makes full-figured sizes to order), but I've since gotten too fat for it, though I got some pantyhose just in case... fishnets are much more comfortable than the regular kind. I had ordered the dress in the same size as my shirts, but it turned out that the only place it fit right was across the back; the waist was too big and the chest was meant for someone with an L cup, so I had to go braless with a slip. I should have just brought the wool dress.

I had thought that it was a cocktail party and didn't show up until 9:30. It turned out to have been a dinner, but I wouldn't have been able to eat it. I did arrive in time for dessert (which I passed on) and the entertainment--a psychic magician. I was put at a table with my cousins, which wasn't too bad.

I think that my aunt realizes that I'm hurt that I found out that I might not have been invited, but she still hasn't said anything.
