I've recently done some retail therapy. I have been feeling blue, and I needed a pick-me-up, as my father would say. Since I am now an empty-nester and divorced, I have all of my time and money to myself. I don't need to share. When I had kids, I have no problem spending money on them, but I felt guilt when I spent money on myself. I still do, but I am slowly getting over it. (I won't tell you how much money I have spent on art in the past year. Egads. Art dealers in Seattle know me by name.)
Aside from my crazy art buying binge (which really needs to stop one...of these days), I am happy with little luxuries, too. I recently bought pajamas with honey combs and bees and crowns. I love them and they bring me an unreasonable amount of joy. My second crazy and exciting purchase was a cordless vacuum cleaner. The cord on my current vacuum cleaner has a gap in the cord covering, and I don't want to electrocute myself or my dog, nor do I want to burn down the condo building, especially now that I am on the HOA board. That would be a bad look.
Pajamas and a new vacuum. That's my jam.
