ladydraceFirst of all, I got up early, because I needed to take one of my rattie girls to the vet. She had gotten a huge abcess behind her ear and it was fucking up her balance. So I got up along with hubby and while we were planning the course of the day, I checked my bank account online and almost fell off my chair!
Thing is, it's tax evaluation time in Denmark, so a lot of people get letters these days telling them to pay more money to the state OR that they've paid too much and get some back. I've never gotten anything but pennies back but when I checked my account, there it was! A huge load of cash from the tax people! It's the equivalent to half of what I get every month!!
So... with this whole new aspect to consider, I dropped off Cookie (rattie girl) at the vet to have the abcess drained and ventured into town while it was still early and quite empty. So I managed to buy quite a few things without my anxiety going bonkers.
The second I saw the money, and had made sure it was not some sort of error, hubby and I decided to buy seasons 3 and 4 of DS9 too, if the shop still had them. So that was my first stop. And if my camera hadn't decided to die on me just now, I would have taken a pic of them too. But they look the same as the others, so just change the numbers in your imagination. ;o)
Then I bought some very adjustable pants for the last few rotund months of my pregnancy. I really needed those. I have 3 pairs of pants left that fit, and one pair is rather tight. So I'll have to wear skirts more, and with that in mind also bought pantyhoses (is that right grammer? eh, fuck it) to wear under. I'm not a leg shaving kinda girl in general, so no bare legs for the world to see just yet.
As the city started to wake up and get flooded with people, I went home and had a nap, before I had to go out again to pick up Cookie from the vet. It was a really bad abcess, so she came out with a drain poking out behind her ear and she was feeling very sorry for herself all the way home. Poor little thing peeped every time I touched her, no matter where, and she was extatic to finally come home to her cage and her sister. A few hours and a good long nap later she was very perky though and I think she's just about ready to be spoiled rotten. I bought some cat food (the wet kind) for her and the others and I plan to sneak in a lot of treats for Cookie, while sister Faye is asleep the next few days. ;o)
And just because we could, we decided to be lazy and order out for dinner. Mmmm.
As for the rest of the money, we do have a long list of must-haves for ourselves and the Green Pea. And then of course, there is also the would-be-nice list, but we'll look into that later. ;o)
