Justification.

When a while back I found myself with an unexpected windfall, I decided to treat me to a couple of things.
One was a new wrist watch to replace the one that up and died long ago to make it possible to tell the time when we have the inevitable black out and the wall clock has stopped.
The other was to get a cell-phone and join the 21st century.
I bought a watch and I bought a cell phone.
And this morning my reasons for getting these items was justified.
I woke up to yet another black-out but, since I now have a watch, I could tell the time and grab my cell phone -without electricity my regular phone doesn't work- and call The Electric Company who sent, hours later to be sure, a truck to fix the problem.
But I felt good, for this was exactly the situation that justified my wild spending of my windfall.
So there.
