taking stock of my current possessions for the relocation, only one major piece of furniture appears to be missing. not for long, however. a sofa is most often the very first important domestic purchase of any young adult. ive managed to avoid this purchase for two years, albeit begrudgingly over the past twelve months.
unloading my lucky gift card at pier one today made me feel kind of woozy. im not quite sure why i stumbled into the eaton centre after my first big purchase, but when i got in i could see all five floors from the spot i stood in, adjusting the strap on my bag. waves of people were swarming up and down escalators and i felt almost nauseous. my business in the area had been dealt with, and still i floated in and out of stores, my head tight as rattan and my feet light as down.
