I shop therefore I am.
Going away provides me with an excuse to buy useless, pointless things.
Wet wipes. Calamine cream. Miniature toothpaste. Rehydration salts.
I just returned after a spree in my local shopping centre, for one must buy a new load of sun-screen and after sun lotion. So far so good. Superficial Money-waster must also buy t-shirts, because Moroccans prefer women covered up as opposed to having it all hanging out. And not only must one buy t-shirts; one must buy tunics and other kinds of tops, preferably in some sort of light fabric as we are looking at something like 35 degrees c. Of course Superficial Money-waster does own several tops and t-shirts already in all sorts of fabric, but no - only newly bought ones will do. So there.
We are leaving for the exotic north Africa tomorrow morning before dawn (or just around dawn to be fair), where we will spend six days in Marrakech and four days in the High Atlas mountains. I'll be far away from computers and the like, which will provide a useful cold turkey-style abstinence, which I think is much needed by now. Take care, y'all!
