Not So Sure Anymore

So, I went to see the Stan Hewitt Christmas light thing yesterday with my family. My mother is currently having back issues an has been having it for the better part of a week. She did make an appointment with a doctor and it is on Tuesday. We thought that it would be doubtful if she was going to be able to handle that and it would be just my dad and I. But she did go and she was able to get through the house part and a little bit of the gardens. I honestly thought that walking the garden part of it would have been a little much. Even in the house, it seemed like my mother had to sit down every two seconds and we got through a fifth of the garden part. We repeatedly had to tell my mother that we did have to walk all the way back to the car and there would be no way that the car up past the gate house. So we only got a fifth of the way through the garden part before we had to turn around with her complaining the whole way. My thoughts were that she made the decision to do more than what she knew that she was physically capable of.

Since we went to an event that was a little fancier than normal, I had to spend a little more time thinking about which perfume I wanted to wear. I didn't want something loud like Lyric or L'Heure Bleu. So I went with Chanel no 22 edt. In the beginning of my perfume journey, no 22 was something I couldn't quite get enough of. When I couldn't get enough of no 22, I couldn't wait to get my hands on (at the time) the edt and eventually the extrait version. But something happened with the past couple times that I wore it. It was like something about it really bothered me. Was it the rose, was it the aldehydes or that combination that really started to bother me. Maybe no 22 is a perfume that I have just gone off of.
