Shopping therapy!
It's amazing... I'm feeling down in the dumps, the week has been a bit of a bust, there are a lot of things going on that I can't control and I wish I could get rid of...
and all of a sudden, on my way back from taking Thelma to the hospital for a heart scan...I pass a Winners.
I'm a new woman.
I didn't go nuts, but just purchasing one choice item made my day. I feel like I can conquer the world now that I have a new skirt. But...at least I'm not a gambler, or a drinker, or a smoker....shopping can't be that bad (I dig my head into the sand). But it has given me new energy to tackle my assignment tonight. The weather was beautiful today...and I got right lost trying to find my way around Victoria with a dated, fading map (which is how I stumbled upon the mall). I saw a pair of red nine west shoes that I can't stop thinking about.... but WAY too expensive (60 bucks) for my budget right now. Ahhh, maybe my mom wants to reward me for looking after the 3 hounds this week. I doubt it. I almost want to go back and erase what I just wrote, but I hope that if I leave it on, I might get my message across telepathically. This is so superficial...
I mean...I went out on the deck last night, after watching the World Series of Poker on TSN (it's addictive..I actually was looking forward to watching it all week). What I mean to say though, is that I took the big telescope out onto the deck, turned off all the house lights, and sat with waldo, looking at all of the constellations. There were millions of stars - the island is so far from anywhere that the sky was perfectly clear. And I could see the ocean and the boats coming in...it was amazing. Made me feel really small. This is what's important, in the long run. Not some amazing denim skirt that I got on sale....ahhh
I should go and work
