I was able to take a break from the hospital the other day. I ran downtown just to get a breath of fresh air and be amongst the living for a a couple of hours. It felt so good just to be outside. For the past 11 days I have been staying with my husband at UCSF while he underwent a pancreas resection, spleendectomy and an autotransplantation of islet cells into his liver. It has been an exhausting and draining time.
I only had a couple of hours and I knew that I wanted to buy something that made me smile. My first stop was Neiman Marcus. I had the SA take out two bags. The Manhattan GM and the Epi Sac Plat in black. The SA then said, "Roppongi, I know that you have the following bags...." she then listed all of the bags that she has seen me carry. She said, "you are definitely a Sac Plat girl." Sold. I then went to Shreve and tried on the Cartier Chronograph for the third time. I didn''t love it, it was just too busy, and it had too much going on. Don''t laugh, but it didn''t go with my new bag. I went to the Rolex bay and one piece caught my eye that I hadn''t seen before. It was the men''s stainless steel datejust, white face, smooth bezel and arabic numbers. I usually see the sticks and the roman numbers. Never arabic numbers. I put it on and it just looked so sleek, stylish and very understated. It was just so clean looking, it was love. Sold.
I got back in my car to drive back to the hospital. I thought guilt and buyers remorse would settle in and thankfully it didn''t. I got back to the hospital and kissed my very doped up husband hello and thanked him for the wonderful gifts. The saddest thing is I didn''t get a response from him. He usually says, "Does it make you happy? Do you love it? I''m glad...."
Sighhh, back to the hospital tomorrow.
