The cure

There is absolutely 100% nothing going on here today. My apartment is clean (okay, I could work on the shower doors but I'd mess up my identity as a procrastinator if I did), the weather has gone from summery warm to being windy, chilly and rainy, I don't much feel like reading (a seldom occurance), and feel even less like knitting (and I need to get my ass in gear and get some projects finished).

I am the definition of ennui.

And while I am not one who normally goes in for retail therapy I may have to take that very cure to get myself jump started. Ride the streetcar downtown. Stop in a cafe and have some tea and read a little (I love that in Germany you don't get rushed off by the wait staff - if it's full, you just share a table with someone else and politely ignore each other). Go to the yarn shop and see what they have in merino wool for a blanket I'd like to knit. Go to another yarn shop and see if they still have that gorgeous boucle yarn that I've been drooling over. And if none of that works I have the sure fire snap-me-out-of-it solution. Go to Müller, see if they have any new perfumes I'd like to try and walk over to the Clinique or Lancome counter and buy a new lipstick.

New lipstick cures everything.
