The Happiest Place on Earth (Today)

I went to the gym, watered my plants, applied for jobs, and had lunch. After I did what I had to do, I decided to go to Marshall's, aka The Happiest Place on Earth (Today). It's a place I could just lose myself in and not feel lost. I like the selection process, I like the price comparison process, I like the finding only one in my size process. It's so fulfilling! Even if I end up not getting anything, I feel full and alive. Jose told me Ikea is like that for him. It's a bonding moment.

Of course I can't spoil it by visiting too often. Once a month is good. I know I don't have a job and should not be "shopping" or spending. But it's really nice to get out of the apartment and immerse myself in a environment where I feel excited and renewed. If I picked up a few items, in the end I would most likely return them to the racks, which I did today. OK, so I kept one cologne. It was like, painfully cheap. I just couldn't say no. That's one small perk-me-up present for myself, and I refuse to feel guilty about buying it. Anyway, I am happy. Thanks Marshall's.
