Today was a bad day. All I did was sleep! Usually I enjoy sleeping a lot, but not the way it was today. I wasn't feeling well, and was struck by fatigue. And I just don't like that feeling!

The Painting Ladies at Alamo Square was our first stop. These are basically just houses with a Victorian architecture and painted with three or more colors. The whole area l...
I guess that's why they call it retail therapy! I wish that I could alleviate some stress by going and spending some money, but I would just feel too guilty. Perhaps one day I will make up for it by going on a large shopping spree.... maybe.... one day.
ReplyDeleteExactly how I was feeling today, except the shopping didn't exactly help. I hate sleeping in the day too because when I wake up I have a really hot mouth and feel more tired than before.
