buy all the things

[ironymaiden]

i've made a lot of random and not-so-random purchases the last few months of being at home.

• mumble-mumble TeeTurtle t-shirts (mostly preorders, mostly for C)


• tea from the place i would normally walk to from the office


• road id for C's fitbit and the dog's collar. (it's been a struggle to get a medical alert for his penicillin allergy to last, hope this is a good solution.)


• Turkish towels. which, it turns out, are coming from actual Turkey. (i chose the vendor because they were direct trade, was not expecting it to be _that_ direct.)


• a lickimat.


• various hair products - i'm trying to make a commitment to buy from black-owned businesses for my curly hair needs. (the sampler from EcoSlay was nice but not ideal for my hair, the Miss Jessie's Honey Curls is a real holy grail - works great, smells better.)


• i got a cute dress at Target in the before times. i love it and they still had some so i ordered a few more of the same in other colors


• fiber from a dyer i like who had to move across the country.


plus there have been a lot of actual essential things, and hair dye, and yarn for a blanket.

what random things have you bought since March?

the dresses i bought were because they are too light and casual for the air-conditioned office, but are the height of comfort for my apartment without any climate control.

Hooray for comfort!

I actually love wearing dresses, but it's hard to get the right shape for wheelchair use (long enough so I don't flash people; short and narrow enough so fabric doesn't get caught in the front wheels & kill me Isadora Duncan-style).
