Just recently I felt a little homesick, realizing that I couldn’t just walk down to a Kmart, a mall, and a TRU and that there were 5 Targets and 2 TRUs that were a short bus ride away. I missed my daily doll hunts (they are weekly now- if that and its a two-hour bus ride to each TRU) and the employees at TRU and Kmart that were friendly and became enablers (they’d “hold stuff” for me and my kid- meaning, they’d hide it from the scalpers and put it out when they left).
Besides that, I can’t just run off to downtown for dim sum and sushi and …
sigh. Ok I’ll shut up now.
