16th April That Old Moody Moon
"Your feelings can take you for a circuitous ride today with the moody Moon still visiting your sign. One moment you have it all figured out and the next moment you are overwhelmed by unresolved emotions."
I can't say then that I wasn't warned! Of course I don't believe in horoscopes and yet I have the daily reading on my Google home page.
Maybe it is that moody moon that is making me so tired and unsettled.
Perhaps it really was not a good day to embark on one of my least favourite pursuits - shopping in real shops in town.
I needed some underwear - the sort that is designed in such a way that a bag and tap can be held securely in place; the days of scanty briefs are over - ummm in fact they never existed!
I had bought some from Damart over the phone but in the end could have done with more, but I am glad I didn't order them all at once because the first lot were a size too big for me.
I decided to look and see what the Crawley shops have to offer - well, it is not big pants with a longer leg.
Nor it seems do any of the shops have trousers that I like which are both long legged and have an elasticated waist.
It was all very frustrating and I began to feel very uncomfortable, like a fish out of water. Being in shops has me leaving my comfort zone.
Later I contacted Damart and ordered more of what I want. They do have an on line ordering service but my wants are a bit specialist and most times things are not in stock. So I talked with an understanding girl and I should be well supplied within the month - that's how long the out of stock items might take. As a valued customer I shall also receive a nice silky dressing gown for nothing!
In fact later I might buy Damart trousers - most of which are elasticated.
We met a friend in town who told me that there is a shop in Brighton and it will be better to go there and try things on.
The friend was with her husband. Jack it seems is gradually recovering from a serious heart attack. As he said "You never know what is round the corner".
I haven't achieved very much this afternoon - just couldn't get focused.
There is now a bid on Bill's bike. There are 35 watchers and he has had 340 hits on the description. I am glad that the bidding has started - we didn't want all the watchers to wait until the last minute because there wouldn't be time for the final price to go up.
I have just sent an answer to a potential EBay buyer's question. In my present mood he was lucky not to get the reply I first thought of...." Don't bother to bid on this book because you obviously can't read!" He wanted to know the cost of second class postage for the book - and it is only written twice for anybody to read on the item description.
And whilst I was Ebay browsing I looked at clothes - I like clothes; it's just that I really don't like shopping for them and I don't like the prices.
I have a bid on a dress now - sort of virtual shopping, puting on bids for things which maybe you won't actually own.
But I like this one and I would be prepared to go above the £1.30 which is the highest bid so far.
It is Marks and Spencers size 16 and apparently sold originally for £69.
I have bought a few clothes from EBay sellers and it has always worked out well - except for the trousers which are too big because I just couldn't acknowledge that I have lost weight and bulk in the last few months. I must describe them and try to sell them on again.
Let's hope that the moody moon is now waning - I don't want it in my life. I am normally reasonably cheerful and strive to get on with things.
Tomorrow Bill sees the local doctor again for a session about his blood pressure. It does seem that the amount of medication he is on is keeping the levels just about low enough.
I must clear up the dinner things now. And then it will be time for bed. last night I was in bed before 10 o'clock and slept through (with a few short spells of wakefulness) until half past seven.
So moon or no moon, it seems I am definitely tired and run down.
Goodnight.
