my mouth hurts; life goes on.
i went to ross today to pick up a few inexpensive, practical things and left a frazzled mess, lighter $80. and that was after i put some of the things i could really have used back! now that christmas is only a month away, i'm becoming keenly aware that my floridian winter clothes are not gonna cut it in new england. to be honest i don't know what to look for, so i'm going to have to drag jarred with me on an excursion for boots and a coat. shopping is such a heinous experience because it ignites the ego and puts it in the spotlight. i felt pretty uncomfortable to be there in that store with all of that greed and want, and to feel it inside of me too! i was so disgusted by the experience that i blew off the rest of my shopping itinerary and came home to my sweet, urine-ridden apartment.
on that subject, jarred says that when we're at his house it feels incomplete without the cats. SCORE! he got them a big crawl-in box* that has toys and a scratching post. mister smeez has mostly commandeered it, which is just as well because out of all the cats, it's shmeagol that jarred is most at odds with. i believe that this is some humorous karmic situation, since jarred is a leo; it probably has something to do with he and smeez owing each other money in a past life.
i have a lot of studying and mopping to do. let's get to it.
*somebody peed on this so now it's garbage. sigh.
