It’s cold out tonight so all the cats are inside. I can’t stand to think of them out there when it’s cold. Obviously it’s been worse but with the weather making more dips into the thirties at night it makes it feel like we’re not in autumn anymore. November is a rainy month and it’s been cloudy and rainy with today even having tiny snowflakes.

I skipped internship last night because I couldn’t get in the door. I was already on the fence about going but I made myself go. Thankfully they usually let me right into the side door but this time there must not have been anyone at the desk. I tried the front doorbell a couple of times and then went back to the side. I didn’t have the patience.

So I went shopping and bought a few things for our Joyful Hearts Christmas gift bags that we’re putting together over Thanksgiving. There are about 30 bags we’re making up that the cousins can help put together one day. It doesn’t have to be much just something colorful with things inside that they can take home and do whatever with.

Honestly I needed a break and just a regular free night. I went to Ross afterward and found two ugly sweaters that I thought I could wear to be festive. They sadly didn’t fit but I will make sure to take them back this time, hopefully to find something else that does. I bought a wintery looking shower curtain with cabins and people skiing downhill.

It was a Nordic theme. I almost bought a second set for the downstairs with one of those furry toilet covers that had a reindeer head on it. It was $22 so I didn’t get it but I might still go back. I put the new one up today and was very happy with it and also the new curtain liner. I thought of the phrase retail therapy and that’s basically what it was.
