January 6

Okay, I might have told a small fib to get out of work early but it was totally worth it.  I said I had 'mail' at the post office that just had to get picked up.  This might not have been completely true, but I really needed to get out to the shops.  I bought some soap, moisturizer and toothbrush.  This may not sound like a very exciting trip, but considering this is the first time I've been able to go shopping, it was great!!  I now have some good shampoo and conditioner, at least I won't have to be going shopping right away in Abu Dhabi.  Goodnight!
