Out Count: 1 in 24

So, we're 24 days into 2006 and today i left the house. I have no way to tell if this is good or bad as i never kept any sort of record but i'm suspecting its not great :/ I left by choice tho', thats gotta count for something. We went to buy balloons; Nina's been asking for them for so long and we'd scraped by on some shrivelled up ones from Christmas but it was time to go buy new. It was pleasant - not exactly relaxing and having Nina (who wants everything NOW) in reins in one hand and the shopping basket in the other wasn't ideal but i coped. I felt like i stood at the counter forever but it couldn't have been more than 2 minutes. Nina was snotty and coughing and frustrated and i could feel the disapproving looks i was getting boring holes into the back of my head. I spent far too much.. partly due to agreeing to anything Nina wanted just to keep the peace and partly because the list i had in my hand had gotten damp and illegible... today Yu&Me, tomorrow? ...the world ;)
