Don't know if you read my previous post about needing get well vibes (and thank you for the sweet wishes!)...I bought myself something I've wanted for awhile (Macy's is having a 1-day sale today. I could've bought it in person, but felt too sick to go to the store today, so I had to pay $8 shipping!!!
):

Isn't it pretty? They only have sizes 7 and 8 in these, so even 7 will be quite large, but I like my rings to be very loose.

I normally don't wear rings any more, but I like to on Saturday nights, when DH takes me out to dinner each week (but not today--everything tastes awful).

I figured I deserved it. The past 2 weeks (Mom died 2 weeks ago tomorrow) have been awful for me. I don't need to be so sick so soon after the shock I had with Mom. I happened to see it on TV yesterday, and thought, "Dang it. I've been through a LOT lately. It's only $39." I love jewelry, BTW. Actually, DH's uncle and aunt enclosed a check in their sympathy card last week, "So I could buy something to remind me of my Mom." I still have that money to spend, but I think I'll wait to find a piece of jewelry that reminds me of Mom--something that reminds me of her stash in her jewelry box, which I loved to play with as a kid. I can't make that decision just yet, so I'm holding off.

It's beautiful, and I'm glad you're being good to yourself! Shortly after my father died, I searched the word "ginkgo" online, because ginkgo trees were special to him and me... and I found this ring:

I've been wearing it ever since as a symbol of my father, and it means the world to me. I know you'll find something wonderful to recall your mom by, too.
