Expensive Day

I went to Chermside with my BFF and nephew today. A great day. Really good - emotionally nourishing and oh, those smiles! I just melt.

I bought:

• 13 binders for school
• 3 exercise books for uni
• 2 pens for marking
• 10 blank CDs
• 1000 effort stickers
• 7 sticks of plasticine for my year 9s
• a bra
• a white button up shirt (bought from the menswear dept at Target as not one clothes shop for women had one!)
• fake Skechers 'shape ups'
• flannelette sheets
• flannelette pjs
• winter socks
• 3 x oven trays/dishes
• 24 piece cutlery set
• can opener
• that's life
• Take 5
• candle for Mum's Easter present

And I probably bought something else as well, but I've forgotten.

Thank God for holidays as being 2 hours west of the nearest Coles and 2.5 hours east of the nearest Woolworths, I have been able to buy stuff I've needed desperately for the past 12 weeks.

This holiday hasn't been really what I needed. I've done a lot of sleeping and TV watching (not having just Imparja isn't actually worth it!) and gone to the movies a bit. I needed something emotionally nourishing, which I haven't really gotten. Not a real stress, but I'm just not as relaxed as I could be.

So, thank you my bestie and nephie, for giving me some succour and smiles today. You made my week.
