Today was a hectic day. To start off with, one of my contacts 'broke' Saturday night and I had to drive almost blind the whole weekend. So first thing on my agenda for Monday morning was Optician. I had a number of things I had wanted to do, but my mum had a long list as well so I decided to cut my list in half so I could get her stuff done. I woke up sad, frustrated and weepy and decided to start my day an hour later, fortunately I had put everything down in my calendar so I knew exactly what needed to get done. I went to get my dress, but the tailor wasn't done yet so I went to get the contacts (over the counter), in South Africa you need a prescription while in Botswana all you need is to know the lens strength:-). Then I went to the pharmacy next door and got my family planning pills, :-) still without a prescription unlike in South Africa. Then next door again to Exclusive Books where I spent P200, instead of my P100 budget. Then I decided to get myself a pair of shoes, thought they would cheer me up a bit but they failed dismally :-(. After which it was an hour before my lunch appointment so I decided to run another quick errand. I ran a couple more errands after lunch but I am glad that I was able to successfully complete every single one of them. My sister called just before lunch with a task she was supposed to have prioritised and where normally I would have dropped everything to help. I decided that I was too overwhelmed to take on her task. Yes it was important, but I also had lots of important things to do and I figure its time my sister started taking things a bit more seriously.
Still feeling saddish, but with time I will be ok. Right now, I am just there.......
