Retail Therapy....works...

Yes yes...it does work for me !! Ya, today was one of those days where I was missing home, missing friends and generally missing being busy! And it was also one of those days where I truly understood the meaning of the age old adage...."An empty mind is a devils workshop"...so no matter what I did today, the negative thoughts kept returning....and the more I thought...the more negative they got.....No amount of watching fun shops, reading fun stuff...nothing helped...

So I decided I needed some fresh air and since the fresh air was so hot, I decided I would not mind some conditioned air as well..and decided to indulge in some shopping...well it was nothing much....and no...it wasn't the usual clothes or shoes...though I did end up buying two t-shirts, but that was only because they were on sale and I need something light when I run (well..and then its about time to even put an update on the running bit)....and in such moments of mindless buying I keep wondering whether I've turned shopaholic and then the very thought takes me to happy thoughts of all the Sophie Kinsella books and with a smile on my face I return to the shopping...

I bought very small things today...mostly all grocery and stationery (of course those who know me well, will probably wonder, if i can ever shop without buying some stationery...be it even a small pen), but even that managed to lift up my spirits..and I came home refreshed - and even home seemed brighter and cooler..!

So here I am looking forward to tomorrow - with new hopes and plans..!!!
