Hahah today was sort of fun. It was a decent end to a sort of meh-ish weekend.

THough Friday was Isaac's birthday. I didn't have the time/resources to get him anything, so basically I spent the entire school day drawing him a little picture. Which he seems to have liked, since he hung it on his wall...and then we had pizza and cake. It was a modest celebration and rather cute. I think he also got a couple of video games.

Yesterday was full of rain. Dr. Krauss had wanted me to take an experimental trip out to the mall, but yesterday was SO not the day. Both mom and I were sick as all hell.

Today, I felt better, though mom was still hurting pretty badly. Despite everything, she still went to her early Sunday class, alledging that she probably whined about her illness more than she really needed to. Gosh, but it's my goal to deal with illness as well as she does.

ANyway, when she got home, she said she was still sick, but that we should Still take the mall trip since my psychologist told me to. I was feeling kind of unconfident, but at the same time I really just wanted to get out and go since I hadn't been to the mall in months. So, after gratuitious pill-popping (on my mom's part even more than mine), we were off to shop til we dropped. (Aka, after an hour.)

Mom went to Sears to get vacuum bags, and then we wandered around a bit looking at clothes. Everything seemed to be on sale, everywhere. It's strange actually feeling like I have a fashion sense, or that I can comment on the style of clothing, but I do seem to have grown one out of somewhere. **shrugs** Mom was looking in all the upscale stores before I growred and dragged her to Filenes.
Filenes, as everyone knows, got bought out, so everything was like **omg clearance**. The place was swarming, but there was still a lot of great stuff there--after probably a half hour of browsing I'd found some decent things. One of the overshirts I wanted was only available in really large sizes, and the only small one was actually on the mannequin. However, I liked it so much that I petitioned my mom, and the two of us tacitly removed the sweatshirt from her. Mom felt bad that her dummy boobs were showing, but what can you do, really?
I also got a sporty sweatshirt that mom liked, and a pair of black pants...and a trip to the shoe department had everything in disarray and amongst it I found two pairs of my favorite kind of shoes for dirt-cheap. It was happy. Mom browsed coats but didn't find anything she really wanted.

Afterwards, mom went off to look in her cutlery store and I went to the Body Shop place, where I found a perfume I thought had been discontinued! Apparently they brought it back since so many people like me bitched about it being gone. So, feeling excessively girly, I bought a bottle, and remet up with my mom.

It was a really productive shopping spree, in all. I was surprised how well I was able to deal with it, even though admittedly I felt sick the entire time. I think my main goal is to just get used to the feeling sick and not let it throw me, like my mom does. Still, it'll take a lot of little steps, I think. This was the first one. ^_^

As for now...homework. Shit to do--

1. My half of Vietnam project
2. History reading
3. Latin studying
4. Pack foodstuffs package
5. Maybe look over FAFSA stuff
6. Maybe clean room?

What a short list. o_O I know I'm forgetting some things...but oh well. ^_^
