Today was shopping day! I love to shop, when I've got money to spend anyway. Today wasn't so bad. Hooray for the new job. :)
A few weeks ago I lost my watch. I have no idea where it went, but one minute I had my watch, the next I didn't. It's in the house somewhere, I just have no idea where. It's very sad. I've been wandering around with absolutely no conception of what the time was for a few weeks now. I tried to buy a watch last weekend but couldn't find anything I liked, but today I did get one. It's strange how lost I feel without a watch. I rarely look at it when I've got one on, but when I don't have one, I'm constantly looking to see what time it is. What's up with that?
Also, my favourite pair of pants are worn out. I bought them a couple of years ago to wear to work at the drug company, they're just basic black pants, but I really like the way they feel, they're nice and soft and just extremely comfortable. However, they've started to wear through. It's very sad. Plus, the store where I bought them doesn't make pants like that anymore. I've looked on a number of occasions, and no luck. So, today was a quest to find some new pants which I can wear to work. I really wanted black ones to replace the ones that aren't any good anymore, but instead ended up with gray. Which means, eventually I'm still going to need some black pants, but I figure for now I should be able to deal with the ones I've already got, which aren't nearly as nice as my favourite ones. I know this all sounds completely ridiculous, but they were just fantastic pants.
And on top of those wonderful things for me...it's my grandfather's birthday this week. Which means we had to come up with something. Mom had an idea. My grandfather has often been heard to say the following. "No, I didn't go to see The Queen when she was in Hamilton. I didn't even go to see Meg Ryan when she was there." So, yeah, he's a Meg Ryan fan. Therefore, this year, he's going to receive a Meg Ryan movie pack. There are snacks to eat while watching, and several of Meg's movies. He'll love it. Here's hoping Flora likes Meg Ryan too.
