five thousand shades of blue
Wednesday, November 14, 2001
What started out as a rather too-ordinary-day-for-a-birthday grew
dramatically better with the setting of the sun. Delicious creamy curried prawns and lassi at Poppi's Anatolia, which could easily become my favourite restaurant
ever, then off to Onsen for an hour in a hot tub. The hot tub rooms are open to the sky and it was strange to have cool rain sprinkling down on my warmed skin. Delightful! I stayed awake long enough to wash my hair in the shower, then, feeling all warm and fuzzy all over, drifted off to an excellent night sleep.
Before my day got better yesterday, I was in need of retail therapy (that is to say, a trip to the local thrift store). My intention was to only browse and to not spend more than the $5 in my purse. I am now the proud owner of an Eeyore umbrella that reads "Oh gloomy day!" repeatedly, dotted with little sad looking Eeyores, and fluffly white clouds on a sky blue background. 50 cents, a little soapy lovin' in the kitchen sink, and I have an umbrella again.
is
this just not enough…?
