Journal 125 Sharpened Shopping Skills

Hi!

How was your week? Hope it was good!

The weather has been chillier at night, so I have started thinking about warmer clothes. A funny thing happened:

Seeing me worry, my husband started doing the same routine that has happened for years: He opens up the laptop, thinking we can easily solve this great clothing problem. How hard could it be? Three hours later, we usually find nothing.

But on this occasion, he found something! A good all-cotton sweatshirt for me to wear in the house. Sweatshirts and sweatpants in all-cotton are extremely rare now.

I knew we needed to order it right then! But he wanted to think about it, shop for himself, etc. Or at least wait until the next day... all very good ideas... if you’re living in 2010!!!

So we fight a little, but end up ordering it. He thought waiting until the morning was okay, but from my recent years of experience I felt it would be sold out by the morning.

The next morning we take a look... it was sold out!!! It was still available in most colors and sizes but mine was one of the ones sold out!

I felt very vindicated hahaha.

I’m slimming down. Remember the shirt we bought in spring? It is too baggy for me now. It used to be perfectly oversized but now it is too oversized.

Oh and with the drier weather, the funk in the laundry is gone. I think because it can dry faster. I started panicking thinking everything was growing mildew but it seems okay now!

Thanks for chatting with me!

Please have a gentle week.
