a busy day off

Got my first grown-up paycheck yesterday. Day off today. Veteran's Day. Had coffee in a nice place, read the NYTimes and made myself rather upset over various news pieces. Made an appointment at a salon. Went to Nordstroms, bought socks, looked for nice underwear (nothing to be found that was both in my tastes and in my price range). Bought a bra on sale in the mall. Had brows done. Nearly killed small child chanting "I need to pee I need to pee" while his mother ignored him. Should have shaken mother instead (Can't you hear? Your son needs to pee!) Went to vintage shop to look for a coat or shoes. Unsucessful. Everything is too big. Rained upon in transit. Went to Reed to pick up Ira Glass tickets. Avoided eye contact and ate a yucky brownie. Stopped by Stumptown and bought a pound of coffee. Note to self: New Seasons sells Stumptown cheaper than Stumptown. Went to Buffalo Exchange to look for coat or shoes. No shoes (never in my size). Found a wool blazer (brown/white herringbone) that fits perfectly but does not match well with my mostly black winter wardrobe. Bought it anyway. Head hurts. Now I need to pee. Go frantically from store to store looking for bathroom. Finally find relief. Look at jewelry for hippies. Wish for earring rack. Head still hurts. Go home. Make sandwich. Resolve to clean house.... tomorrow. Enjoy quiet evening. Sit in front of the computer, and here I am.
