I hit the motherlode of Doctor Who videos at Goodwill today! I got a little over 20 of them. I know that might sound a big crazy, but I couldn't help myself as even one is a rare find in the thrift stores. I got my favorite serial as well, Logopolis. I also got a Powerpuff Girls video, Dead Poets Society, an abacus, the Bad Cat book, and a pair of shiny purple satin pants. One of my best trips to goodwill ever!

Went to Goodwill with purpleglitter. Got a couple new outfits, including a wonderful blue and white dress. I'm finally getting a closet full of clothes that fit.

Spent quality time with merryperseis this evening. We haven't really spent an evening together in a little while, so it was quite nice.

So much for short updates. I'm off to bed. Have to be up early, as I have therapy first thing in the afternoon.

Went to the Goodwill in davis_square. The second time we went there this week, but purpleglitter needed items from the downstairs which is closed on Thursdays. purpleglitter picked up several baskets and a little wood wagon for her apartment. Then across the street to the Family Dollar, where purpleglitter picked up a nice lamp and shade.

purpleglitter decided to go to Pep Boys to get her oil changed on Monday or Tuesday rather than today, figuring there would be more of a wait on the weekend.

Upon returning to Arlington, purpleglitter treated me to some samosa chole chat at Punjab. Yummie.

Next to Walgreens, where I picked up lightbulbs (both in my room were out), hydrocortisone, and a refill on my spironolactone.

zarthon took merryperseis and I out to lunch at Akbar today. Yummy yummy Indian Food. After lunch, we went to the Diesel Café for chai.

Next, we went to Goodwill, where I got a new pair of buckle shoes. I love buckles. They're not the big buckles like I've worn in the past, but buckles they be.

We got back to the house_of_clocks and sat around the table in my room chatting. I dearly need to do some cleaning. I haven't been in a state to get much of it done. Soon, I plan to have a clean room. Soon. Soon I will. I must. I can't stand living in this pit. This must change.

At around 9:00pm, merryperseis and I went to Porter Square in search of my make-up. I'm afraid that my current powder, Revlon Shine Control, may be discontinued. It's the most wonderful powder, and I really don't want to have to search for a new one. I'm going to check a couple other places tomorrow to see if I can find any.

I put the new buttons on my outfit for Man Ray tomorrow. purpleglitter will be coming over to take piccies, which I'll post here. I'm very excited about it.

I was at Goodwill today and found a wonderful pair of pink terrycloth pants. They're perfect for pillowkisser. I'm planning to give them to her for Christmas/Yule.

I met riga_mortia at the Diesel Café this morning, at around 11:00am. We had coffee, then I went to the Social Security office to hand drop off papers and hopefully meet with someone. After waiting in line for about 15 minutes and being told that I'd talk to the caseworker over the phone tomorrow, I met up with riga_mortia again at Goodwill.

At Goodwill I found a fabulous blue dress that looks right out of the 50's. It goes perfectly with my cat's eye glasses.

riga_mortia and I went back to my house, I changed, and we went to the Great Meadow. Decided to wear a pair of shoes that have been lying around the house for some time, but were falling apart. I very quickly screwed them back together before we left. Unfortunately on the way to the Great Meadow, the screws started poking up into my foot (the flat ends, not the pointy ends, but it still hurt my feet).

We had a very nice picnic of oranges, grapes, green olive tapenade on mini toasts, and green tea. The clearing we chose was very peaceful, sitting on the side of a hill with a nice view of the sun drenched meadow.

Getting up after the picnic, I learned a very important fashion lesson: white nylons are a poor choice if you plan on sitting on the ground..

On the way home, walking by Mal's Towing, one of the workers looked at me and said "How's it going?". Thinking nothing of it, I nodded and walked on. Annoyed he said that he was just trying to be polite because we were neighbors. I didn't recognize him as one of the downstairs tenants. I apologized and said I was just spacey. But, honestly, I still didn't recognize him.
