thank god its over...if the roller coaster had lasted a little more...i'd have really jumped off the edge of sanity that i am forever threatening to......last evening...after we called it a day, i went and picked k up from work...he's kind of getting slowly used to a vagabond wife with a driver's license and a car!! by the time he wound up work and we got back home, i was ready to fall in a pile...albeit a neat one...we packed what was required for his two night trip and barely managed to get a few hours sleep, when it was time for k to get ready to catch the cab to take him to the airport so he could catch his flight....i think i managed a few hours sleep after that.....the next few hours after waking passed more like a daze post a hangover...till i ambled towards the laptop and turned it on....i remember having seen the advertisement announcing a sale in a shop i visited two days ago....i went there looking for razais....and found them a little (all right....a lot) overpriced...so still in my daze, i called the shop....lo and behold, the covetted comforters were on 50% off!! jumping into a fresh set of clothes, i drove out like a bat out of hell.....made the purchases of two fabulous conforters, and then one more for good gluttonous for more measure...and drove out...all in a flash of less than 10 minutes (driving time not included)......
why do we eat much more than what we usually need to?? because your brain covets more than your digestive tract....and since the brain is the control station of the body, the digestive system usually succumbs and swallows up some more....some thing happened on the drive back.....i wasnt happy that the shopping didnt take much time...and i craved to be able to look around some more....so telling myself that the few purchases of vinegar, detergent and wafers that i had to buy were something between life and death, i drove myself into possibly the best supermarket in hyderabad....now that it is swanky, it looks even better, but the range of stuff they have is mind boggling....having whet my appetite on a few earlier trips, i was all alone amongst aisles and aisles of produce....i can go berserk in a kirana shop...so you can imagine what this was for me.....i emerged a good hour and a half later...laden with more than i could carry....starry and glossy eyed.....and hungry for more...the only horror was how in heaven's name was i going to find place for all that i hoarded in my little pantry (ok glorified cupboard) .....i was famished by the time i got home....despite the best resolutions, i had a hearty lunch (do i get forgiven since i didnt eat breakfast?) and proceeded to display my wares and crowing about the bargains i bagged.....the poor mother of mine who was at the receiving end of all this, was droopy eyed and begging me to shudd uppp....ofcourse polite upbringing and motherly sentiments hardly allowed her anything other than some appreciative noises and smiles.....
i tried resting...i really did....an sms from my namesake woke me up...then a bout of quick consultation with the dear doctor...and i was again sleep deprived.....i spent the rest of the evening, paying for my sins by actually rearranging and cleaning out my kitchen...the one thing i like best after shopping is pushing my kitchen possessions around....tired and happy....i refused food for dinner....and wandered on and away from the epicenter.....
freaky friday it was...i spent a tonne of hard earned cash......and whats worse is that i feel so good in the bargain!! before leaving on his biz trip this morning, k asked if i had enough cash on hand...i replied i had too much.....and i think i organised its remedy also by the end of the sentence....i think i will impose a no more shopping till you clean out the pantry on myself....wish me luck...
