retail therapy

So blood test days are always big splurge days; it seems buying things for me makes the chore of visiting the hospital that much easier. Today I got to CGH, saw my endocrinologist, and paid for things for the first time without my mother (strange to realise I'm growing up and my parents won't always be there to take care of me... but also, going around alone is intensely liberating). For once I didn't have to wait for hours past my appointment time, and the Hba1c is improving steadily =) Treated myself to an extra-large load of low GI snacks and stuff from the pharmacy, and went home feeling happy.

I really need to grow up, I know. Money isn't supposed to be squandered away on unnecessary fluff... but then again if you think about it, money itself IS fluff and meant to be spent to make life better - for the here and the now. Today is one of those days when I feel especially like celebrating how great it is to be alive in this world.
