QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

What was the last thing you bought for yourself?

Yarn. Even though I didn’t need it. Even though I have two Rubbermaid containers full. Yarn just makes me happy in ways I can’t express. I love it. Seeing it, touching it, just experiencing it’s existence releases the dopamine.
