Pack up your troubles, get your old grin back, don't care about the cavellry~ ♪
Spent all day lazing about the house because I have a cold. Feeling much better by the end of the day. However, I have been EATEN ALIVE by bugs. They must have come inside to escape the encroaching cold but did they have to give me 9 BUG BITES?!
They itch like hell.
One of them is on my hand so whenever I brush against anything it ITCHES.
Blarg.
Day 21 - Another moment
"Here's your lottery sir." I say to the distinctly Indian looking man at the till with a smile. He's been a regular customer lately, I'm fairly sure he's just moved into the area. Only this time he's not buying his paper, he's brought his wife along, and he's getting some lottery tickets.
"Thank you very much." he says, accent thick but clear.
"Haha, it's fine, just doing my job." I reply, flapping my hand at him jokingly. He smiles and nods at me and says something in Punjabi to his wife, whose eyes go wide. She grasps my hand and kisses it.
Kisses it.
Bows her head.
Kisses it again.
I stare for a moment.
They both leave the shop.
I am deeply confused.
I remain deeply confused to this day, despite it being nearly a month since then.
Day 22 - Something that upsets you
Aside from the injustices of the world and the large scale of unfairness and evil that goes on and would depress the fuck out of anyone?
It upsets me when people don't listen to other people. It upsets me when people are rude or snappy with me for reasons beyond my control. And, if I am 100% honest with myself, criticism upsets me too. But that last one is probably a good thing; I need to be knocked off my high horse every once in a while or I'll ride too fast and hit a tree branch that'll do it for me.
This metaphor is getting a bit tortured so I'm going to go write FT now.
