Today is International Women's Day

[stephbg]

And what have I done with it so far?



Things bought today:

* food

* craft items

* manchester

* electrical (shiny food processor)

* outrageous hair dye

* handbag

In defence of the handbag it's a replacement for the current everyday black beast, now that the strap is going. I am death to straps. It was also on sale.


Things done today:

* shopped

* sewed

* cooked

* attempted to contact people


On the bright side:

* I got myself out of the house for a little while.

* I was spending my own money (albeit a rapidly declining supply of same)

* I was driving my own car

* I have a career

* I was permitted by society to venture out without escort.

* I am currently communicating with the outside world on my own laptop.

* I recently voted and while the local result was wrong, the big result was correct.

* If I want to dye my hair purple people will only question my mental health, not my right to do so.


On the dark side:
* I've been alone all day :-(

* Husband is down pit today and will be no source of entertainment this evening.

* There are things I should be doing tonight, but the very shouldness of it makes the idea very unappealing.

* Tomorrow's schedule is bad, making radical entertainment choices this evening impractical.

* I keep wanting to do hoonish things in the car. I fear my judgement is sliding.

* Definite hormones. No chocolate.
