At the best of times I'm a gal who likes shopping. But tell this gal she has cancer and whee! Retail pity party it is.
I have been a bit self-indulgent lately, which of course will have to end soon. But sometimes the only way to distract myself from cancer is to surf the People's website. I had been eyeing up the morganite rings for awhile, so when I got an email saying they were on sale I eventually caved.
My new ring came in this week so I went and picked it up last night. (I also stopped into Safeway and got a piece of carrot cake to ease my sorrows. No regrets on that one.) It was just as pretty as the picture and fits beautifully. I wasn't sure if the pinkish tone would work with my skin but I just love it. It's delicate and unique.
I know that I'll only be able to distract myself with things for so long. It won't be much longer before I'll be in pain, and adjusting to my new body. All the pretty rings in the world won't change the fact I have cancer. But it does feel good to do something nice for myself. My purchases aren't very expensive, but sometimes it's important to just do something for me.
