We woke up at 7 a.m. When my mom-in-law brought sandwiches for our breakfast, she told us she had been suffering from migraine. We were planning to go to the flea market. My husband thought my mom-in-law would stay behind to rest, but she said she really wanted to go with us. Yesterday was sunny with clear sky, but this morning the sky was covered by snow clouds with low temperature. This kind of weather make people to have migraine and feel sick.
By 9 a.m., my mom-in-law looked much better. She said the pain reliever medication has been kicking in. She said she would spend most of days all by herself and so, she really wanted to go with us.
Our first stop was the local church that my mom-in-law’s sister goes. They had a valentine event and there were many vendors selling their handmade crafts. I wanted to purchase one Navajo’s traditional three-tiered skirt. It was $80. I should have bought it but hesitated. I still have the bad habit that I don’t buy an item when it comes to an expensive price. My daughter, on the other hand, doesn’t have any bad habit like I do. Whenever she meets an item, she does not check the price but buys it.
Our next stop was the flea market. My daughter found lots of items that caught her eyes and purchased all of them. I really respect her habit that she doesn’t hesitate to purchase based on price. I left my parents’ house at the age of 22, and since then, I had supported myself for the living cost. I needed to constantly think about all the living cost, so that I cannot freely purchase any items without taking a look of a price. I want to switch my bad habit to my daughter’s one, to purchase anything without checking a price.
At flea market, my husband saw his old friend. They went to the same boarding school during the middle school days.
