Looooong Thursday
Okay, so I am so not up to cramming two posts today, so I am keeping this one yet again personal and tomorrow I am going to talk about writing. Of course to keep stalling I will prepare my post as I finish this one. So Thursday, my free day after two long and draining graveyard shifts, in which I didn’t feel like a zombie. Here is the list of daily activities.
Jogging: I didn’t want to mention this at all, because I did so many times and jinxed it so bad that the idea itself became as laughable as waking up next to Hugh Jackman. However this really did occur in real life [the running sadly] and I had my nicotine addicted artist friend S with me, also known as the main instigator behind this scheme. It was okay, because I tired my legs fast and due to the whole I-smoke-a-pack-in-two-days deal S had a minor argument with her lungs, who didn’t like the sudden work overload. We spent around half an hour sweating and panting, ten of which were resting, but damn it, it was a first step into getting in a better shape. We will run every second day, due to my work schedule. I also hope that I get it in my head to do push-ups and stuff to get the belly out of the picture, but Christmas is far away for these miracles.
Shopping: So I had my paycheck and immediately called my lady friends with taste to go on a hunt for shoes. This was around 11:30 a.m. after the jogging with feet still sore. After an hour of searching I bought myself a nice pair of white sport’s shoes that fit so well and aren’t the color I would lean on, but damn it this season fashion said “Fuck it, I am on vacation” and every store had the worst stock possible. A miracle is also finding a descent pair of summer slippers, when the 110 degrees convince you that closed shoes are not the most reasonable choice. They are not as good as the awesome pairs I saw last year, but I can look at them and they are comfortable enough. Around 16:00 o’clock I managed to shop for T-shirts, which was good, since god knows I am bored with what I have in the closet right now.
Eye Doctor: I had a routine check-up after the administration of the eye drops to see how my eyes healed after the whole muscle spasms episode. Seems I am fairing well. Yey! Now I just need to use the synthetic tears to keep my eyes relaxed in the summer, so that my eyes don’t go protesting again. I even got recipes for special optic sunglasses and regular ones, because the frame has been damaged from the constant abuse use. I am not sure when I will find the money to get me those and I don’t think I will get around to getting the sun glasses this summer. I tend to do these things rather slow.
Uniform Fitting: In the last minute yesterday my boss decided that I MUST as in have no choice and go to a fitting for my uniform. Seeing the uniform convinced me that colorblind people that basic scissor holding skills can work as seamstresses and tailors. It’s summer and instead of a lighter material for the suit, they used something that is heavy and makes you sweat in an instant and is horribly, horribly poop brown. The shirt is rough with the color of urine and although I look thinner I also look as a pimp, who likes the sewage system. Ugh.
Other things involved seeing my friend D. who is giving out flyers for a summer job and we kind of didn’t see each other since the beginning of spring, which is a shame. We chatted here and there to catch up, after which I went on a book hunt to spend some more money and get the books I have been eyeing for ages. Alas everything I wanted turned out to be sold out. So sad, but hey I have enough at home, so no worries.
