56 Days: I’m Still Here – Day 36

July 31, 2009

This week marks the beginning of week 6! Today I’ve added a dark gray collar on the left side of the jacket. It is becoming difficult to keep the collar down when I put the jacket on. Especially since I cannot bend my arms completely because the jacket is so tight – I usually can’t [...]
