I don't own a watch anymore. I also don't like the "delicate" look of a woman's watch yet a a lot of men's watches are too "chunky" on my wrist. 🤷
The trend over the last 10 years or so has been toward larger watches, for both men and women. A traditional women's watch usually has around a 26-27mm diameter dial but nowadays it's not unusual for a woman to buy and wear a 'mens' dress or sport watch with 36-40mm dial.
Yes, but it has to look and feel right on my wrist. (To me)
That's my thing with watches (or any jewelry, actually)... it just doesn't feel right. 
Good night at the open my mike - 4 covers and 3 originals.

Progress..
Yes, so hopefully by March I will finally get one. I'm going to start using the card for small purchases here and there now that there is no BT balance on it.

No way 😂
Sadly far too many children are that way now, and it's sickening.

Same problem. The only thing I can wear and not feel ridiculous is a sterling silver ring. If I ever get married, I am probably screwed because I won’t wear gold.
I had such a rough day yesterday. I couldn’t sleep since Sunday night (between my little trip out of the garden and my laptop coming a day early, I was wide awake) and then when I finally wanted to unwind and go to bed I checked online and saw that my Medicaid showed it was ended and that they sent me this letter about setting up a Medicaid Trust so I had to start making phone calls and was told that my income is too high to get Medicaid so I would have to put all the money in the trust, pay Medicaid the excess, and then I could use the rest (it would be to the tune of about $187 a month which isn’t the end of the world) so I started doing research and found out that I’m actually $788 a month UNDER what would entail setting up the trust so I called back and my case manager went and found out that the long term care department didn’t get my certification for my personal care assistance needs so I had to call and leave a message for my long term care case manager.
I would have lost my mind if it wasn’t for my community case manager at the county mental health place I am seen at (you never really hear someone praise county mental health but Denver and Arapahoe Counties in Colorado are actually exceptional) doing most of the inquiring for me. So now we have until January to get me certified for my hours (which was already done on the 29th so hopefully they process it in the next week or so) but it’s crazy that they would drop the ball on something like this. I mean I get that they’re overworked but a case can be made that Medicaid long term care is a higher certification priority than food stamps and they sure as hell are quick about making food stamp decisions.
It is crazy to think that I am high functioning, intelligent, and I push back and stay on top of things despite my condition — if they could let someone like me fall through the cracks, what is happening to those who don’t know to advocate for themselves?
So long story short, my day got ruined by someone else’s ineptitude. I finally crashed after I ate dinner and took night meds at 8 and then I woke up wide awake at 2 this morning which means I’m running on more or less 6 hours of sleep since Sunday and I wasn’t sleeping that well the past few days before that so I have no idea how much sleep I’m actually behind but my anxiety is like a 99/10 as a result of all this craziness and I wish I could drink
My therapist is coming out to see me today and I need to never cancel an appointment again. I canceled two weeks ago and it feels like it’s been two months of swimming by myself — and I actually canceled because I hadn’t slept then either!
This tapering off my Valium thing is the hardest thing I’ve done in my life and I have at least 7 months to go and I’m already 10 months in. I just want my life back, is that really such a big ask? 
In credit news, I added my gardening goal. Soooo farrrrrr awaaayyyy.....
Have a great day everyone! Never mind me and my rant 😂

Watches are my vice. I have more than 50 of them and rotate to match the situation. I never wear the same watch two days in a row. Many of mine are Seiko, but I also have a few Citizen, Bulova, Timex and Casio styles as well. The dress watch of choice, however, is the Movado Museum. It looks great while being modern and minimalist.
I've debated whether to get a more upscale watch (Omega, Longines, or something similar), but then I would have to wear it every day, otherwise it's not worth it to me.
No credit news is good credit news!

You make an excellent point about people needing to be able to advocate for themselves when they need services and how many people fall through the cracks. It's good to know that Denver has good options for you, including a therapist who makes house calls. You'll never see that in NYC.
