Good evening at the 2nd off March, 2023.

 Good evening everyone, 

Today the weather was clear and cold. There is a forecast for snow next week, so I suppose the rest off the weekend will be cold.

Today the bus held a strike, so it has been a bit boring. Except for lunch at Spar's and a small walk in the neighbourhood, I did pretty little except for having coffee with the last off my fancy cookies at home. I can't afford them anymore since they have increased in price. I had three left and I had some coffee for myself this afternoon. 

I took a coffee picture off it. I'm the last one who they should allow to complain. I have nice cookies on stock despite them not being these lemon cookies. But it's fine either. 

I have been hamstering clothes yesterday. Somehow I feel clothes getting more expensive this year, so I have been purchasing some items for spring and summer. And I'm wearing nailpolish I purchased this week. Blue Papagayo by IsaDora. A shiny, purpleish dark blue. It arrived this evening. 

Usually these polishes sell pretty expensive, but I purchased them on a discount. I'm not poor. Far from. Poverty is having nothing to eat and freezing when there is snow outside. I'm one off the few lucky people these years who can manage themselves and who get by thanks to the government. No, I'm the last one on earth they should allow to complain about wealth. Usually I keep my look a bit modest to not to look too rich for most people. So no make-up and hairdye in a very natural shade, and I haven't dyed and cut my hair since November. Most off the time I don't wear nailpolish. But this discount was almost too good to be true. Just like purchasing clothes. I said I didn't want to do so untill Spring. But something in me told me to be ahead to even more price increasing. So it failed. But who knows- maybe next year I'm not capable to purchase them at all. It's good to have stocks off items on the shelves during wartime. Be prepared for anything, folks! You never know and this situation might even last about three good years. 

Just like today applying nailpolish, I also wore make-up today. Which should be in the headlines off the news since I barely do so. I have been right about Yves Rocher increasing prices, so at the very beginning off this year I purchased make-up on a massive discount from them, joking that I would make it my summer make-up if needed. Sometimes it's not funny being capable to foresee what's going to happen and being sarcastic. But I was right. And so am I probably with clothes. 

Instead off going for loud and bold fashion, I decided to go for more timeless items which could withstand a change in fashion for a while. (If I'm correct.) It's too expensive to follow the latest trends. So I'm not into the 00's girl who went to the bahama's kind off trend. I did purchase some items in red and yellow, however, since these colours make me happy. It's good to still wear clothes that make you happy somehow these days. And which suit your personal style. 

It's not been handy off me not to care about my clothes at all last year, and go by in weird items that looked a bit frumpy and very outdated. In my defence: I was depressed about it and I simply didn't have the prescence off mind to prepare for a crisis, and purchase items before the increasement off prices would hit in so hard. As long as my clothes where clean and comfy, I didn't care last year.  I went by as pale and weird as some psychiatric granny ghost. This year I want to do it diffrent since I snapped out off my depression, but it may seem a bit unthoughtfull in these expensive times. If I look at all those cute Bahama items you where supposed to wear last year... Really, what was I thinking? It may be a bit unthoughtfull, but maybe I'm just in time to purchase items before we get even more screwed and it will be even more expensive. Well, at least I was washed and clean last year in summer. But my looks made no sense. And I purchased some summer nailpolish ahead. Which is a cool thing for this summer. Nail polish stays good for a while, so chances are I'm going to wear it again next year, and the year after that. 

If you wish to withstand bad times, think ahead and make plans. What are you going to do when NATO is really going to send troops to Ukraine, and they will mobilize, and they will ask you and your beloveds to truly fight? It's good to overthink that as a possibility. I'm not telling you this as a joke. I'm downright serious when it comes to this. And better to have stuff on your shelves, than being empty handed. So I cheer for people who invest in multipacks off as much as possible for the best price they can find. It's not a bad idea to fill 'em up with showergel, shampoo, conditioner, bodybutter, toothpaste, toothbrushes, laundry wash, laundry softner and so on. I'm jealouse off people with regulair body sizes who can fill their closets with multipacks off underwear and plain t-shirts these days. It's a good idea to be prepared. And be well prepared as this might take a while. 

Allright, that's about it for now- 

Thank you for reading.
