The last coat on the floor is going on. I may make it through this process. I'm thinking of my trip Friday to see my granddaughter and celebrate my daughter's birthday, and letting that positive excitement outweigh the chaos in the house. Yesterday I managed to be out all day with two friends, and even saw another movie, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", which my friend and I thought was terrific. It sure made me think of my high school years, and all the pain and suffering and confusion and hope and dread they contained. It's a beautiful screenplay, and super well acted. Today I have invented some errands for myself and will take myself out to lunch.
Yesterday I really had a lot of fun shopping for salwar kamizes in Indian shops. My friend is going to work in a clinic in Mysore for a couple of weeks, so she needs cool, loose clothes. We found two good choices at one shop and another one in the second shop, so she's set. In the process we saw gorgeous saris and scarves and jewelry. I resisted all temptation and didn't buy anything, especially since I wouldn't wear them for a long time if ever. I already have several lovely outfits. But it was like entering fairyland, with sparkles, sequins and bright colors. I may go again, just for therapy.
