Yeah. I kinda sorta forgot to write. Not like anything earth shattering happened!
I got mail again from my 'friends in China'. 3 kinds of nail charms I ordered almost 3 weeks ago and very much to my surprise also the Hello Kitty handbag I ordered less than a week ago!
Yes, I confess: I order really cheap shit from China on one of those websites. No clothing or shoes because that may really go wrong but stuff like phone covers, wallets, nail tools and nail charms, wig stands, hair bands and clips, a flash drive...
That was mostly a way to get over my depression 'mailbox fear'. During my last depression I opened my mailbox once or twice a month. And that's not good! So I needed an incentive to go to the mailbox more often. I had heard about those Chinese websites like lightinthebox and aliexpress and decided to have a look around.
And I found my incentive! They have some really cheap little things (and I am talking about 50 cents to €10) and the fun thing is: you have no idea when they arrive! So I have to check every day. 'Unfortunately' I have found a few favorite stores so if I order from them, I get a few lots together.
See? And then the fun goes on because I have to pick a nice color to go with the new charms and polish my nails and stick the charms on... It's hard work but I love it ;) As I said I had to wait almost 3 weeks for these but it's worth the wait.
What I really didn't expect yet was the postman knocking at my door yesterday! I really didn't expect the handbag to arrive yet so that was a super nice surprise. When I opened the package, I was starting to get a little bit disappointed because the bag looked really small. But it has two separate pockets on the front too so when I tried to put in all the stuff I usually have in my bag...it fit! So now I have a very nice black Hello Kitty handbag wìth a shoulder strap, but that can be taken off too (I'm not really a shoulder strap kinda gal).
I didn't go out today because the weather was expected to get really ugly. Forecast even predicted supercells in the province where I live. And I am sure we had one coming over: after a lovely warm and sunny day I suddenly didn't hear any more birds and that usually is a sign a (thunder)storm is on the way. And oh my, did we get a thunderstorm! With a wailing wind and lots of hard rain, maybe even hail but I didn't really look. The sound on my roof and windows was really enough. It took quite a while for it to finish.
Well, I really hope the weather was better where you all are!
Hugz, Anna
