Hello everyone,
What a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is well with the world......well no, none of that is true but I DO feel much better today and have come up with a cunning plan to make myself feel even better. I have decided to go shopping by myself and enjoy some serious retail therapy. I`d already decided to buy myself a couple of things for my holiday but when I checked my account I found I was better off than I thought soooo, I shall hit the shops soon, unhindered by Kerry (sorry dear, but you are a distraction...lol!) and see what I can find for myself. Last week I did buy myself a crinkly cotton blouse and a lovely off-white linen skirt and I think I got the taste for the shops after having abstained for so long.
This morning I cleaned the upstairs because it has been neglected of late. After cleaning the bathroom and smallest room I moved on to the bedrooms where I polished and vaccuumed. When I got to the spare room I decided to move the furniture around (something that I don`t usually do). After I`d finished it looked much better and seemed less cluttered. Another job well done, though I say so myself !
I noticed that quite a few of you agreed that it was most likely the surgery and anaesthetic that made me feel down. My problem is I don`t allow weakness of any kind in myself. The way I see it, rightly or wrongly, is to carry on regardless whatever the problem and it will go away. Of course it`s different in other people who I would advise to take it easy and rest. Hmm...it`s about time I took my own advice I know, but habits of a lifetime and all that...
Jim hasn`t had any more problems getting his lunch through security checks at the airport. Except of course having to remove his work shoes at every checkpoint but I suppose that`s par for the course now. One way or another the would-be terrorists have won by chipping away at our freedom and making us all a little bit more afraid. However much we carry on as usual, these threats won`t go away...sigh.
Well, on that less than cheerful note I`ll bid you all farewell. I hope you all have a lovely day...Oh look, the sun has come out....hooray! Bye Bye for now :o)

Well, carrying on as normal is not always the correct thing to do and you are still pushing yourself with all that cleaning. Please have your shopping trip and then GET SOME REST. Oh, it is true here, the sun is shining and the birds are singing.

Sandra how lovely to check you account and find you have more than you thought in it ~ enjoy your shopping trip ~ am so glad you are feeling better you certainly have been a busy one with cleaning and moving furniture ~ glad Jim is getting thro security with his lunch ~ don't think things will change at the Airports for a long time to come ~ Ally
I don't allow weakness in myself either but I think that's because I hate what seems at the time to be a patronising attitude from the "fit and well". That's not what it is really; they just don't know how to deal with their perception of "us" - Angie
I hope you enjoyed your shopping trip alone. I know what you mean by others being a distraction! Take it easy at home for a while, don't want you over doing it and being laid up ....I'm a fine one to talk aren't I?! Jeannette xx
I am glad you are feeling better....do you have a pic of your beautiful self in that skirt? Did you go shopping yet? I hope you went and found lots of things that you love.
Still hot in Ohio.

Retail therapy...hmm....
You are correct in saying the terrorists are chipping away at our freedoms. I think after while though, we will be able to create a system of security that can make all this so much easier. Very sad...

Shopping always makes one feel better, I agree. As for the would be terrorists, I agree we should be watchful & cautious but I refuse to let them instill "terror" in me. Glad Jims not having trouble getting lunch through! Have a great time on your shopping spree!

Enjoy your shopping spree! It is so much fun to find new clothing. It makes us feel so pretty and lady like. Can't wait to hear what you get!

Our minds are thinking alike on this day...wow. I am cleaning my upstairs and so did you and my daughter wanted to go shopping with me and I said I needed some alone time shopping...now how funny is that? LOL Hope you had a great day...glad Jim is able to grab lunch...hope all goes smooth for him now.
Hugs and love,
Joyce
I always love to go shopping! Nothing like a new outfit or pair of shoes to boost your spirits! I am like you in that when I feel rotten most times I carry on as well figuring I will feel rotten if Im lying down or if Im getting stuff done so I may as well get stuff done. But often times that plan back fires and I wind up sicker haha!

I love your idea about shopping alone. It's a big treat! You can browse as long as you desire. Hope you had a good time.
