Thursday, May 3rd.
Daytime: Back to work on a rainy, chilly May morning. It didn't end up raining the whole day as predicted and by the end of the day I felt somewhat over-dressed.
Daytime: Working at the school. I wore my new tee-shirt because it had pockets to hold pennies.
Yes, pennies. Today was the last day that the Royal Canadian Mint was producing pennies. So I shared this piece of trivia with the students and offered them a penny if they expressed how they felt about the penny's demise. "A penny for their thoughts."
The pocket for the tee-shirt was perfect, I thought. But the weight of the pennies threatened to drag the neckline down over my shoulder. So I looked for a cup to hold my pennies.
Wednesday, May 2nd. Yes, I did. I wore the same thing two days in a row. I did change things up and change my tee-shirt and socks.

Daytime: Running errands, shopping, eating, drinking coffee, resume/cover letter writing and reading newspapers...
Evening: Cutting out the next sewing project and drinking Chai lattes.
I was bad, I wasn't feeling the Me-Made-May vibe today. I briefly tried on the denim Burda skirt but I wasn't feeling it. So I changed. Sorry. I didn't even get a picture.
