Shopping and a jumble of feelings

Did a little shopping-therapy: I got myself a navy-blue blouse with a white and pink flower print, marked down at K-Mart's merging-with-Sears sale.

I'm still jumbled up inside. The Houseparty is still quiet, except for a little chatter from Ref (She got a little gushy over a purple Care Bear I spotted at K-Mart). Still having trouble writing, so I've been reading a lot lately... re-reading the "Sandman" books in my library, listening to *hopefully* inspiring music... nothing yet.
