On Tuesday I went to the Twinkle café, it was open for a longer time. There was Mella, and my mother, and the usual visitors. My mom gave me the weekly allowance, and I gave her the quilt squares I had knitted. Mella had remembered to buy cocoa powder for me, so I made some cocoa.
I had such a good time there, and after I left, I went to an eco- market downtown and bought laundry detergent, universal cleaning spray, and dish- washing liquid.
I didn’t feel like going to the library in Ore Town, there was a knitting & novel reading group, but I was too tired to go there, and also too tired to go to the gym. Sometimes it’s better to admit that you don’t feel like doing something, rather than forcing yourself to do it.
On Wednesday I went to see my friend Rige. We had coffee and croissants, and then we went for a walk in the forest and the hill near the neighborhood. We had taken Rosmu the beagle along, but she is getting old and is a bit tired and achy, so after a while of walking, we had to turn back and take her home.
Once back at Rige’s home, we had more coffee and talked a bit, and then I went back home.
Later the day I traveled to eastern Helsinki, and went to this mini- mall with a beauty shop that does the most affordable manicures, only 15 euros! I have decided to start going there every month, when my nails need to be clipped. I can actually clip my own nails, I own two nail clippers, but I always cut them too short so that my fingers become sore.
I made myself an appointment next Tuesday at one o’clock in the afternoon.
Once back home, I didn’t feel like going to the gym, but I managed to go shopping to the nearest supermarket and buy new insoles for my sneakers, and some groceries.
This morning I woke up after having a nightmare, where vines started growing around me and encased me. I fell back asleep again, and had nicer dreams.
I got up at six o’clock in the morning, took my meds and drank coffee. I took a nap, and got up at eleven o’clock.
I took a shower and brushed my teeth, and put on a pretty pink dress. I wanted to put on jewelry, but decided not to because I was heading to the gym later today.
I took out the trash, and fetched the laundry from the drying room downstairs.
I went to see my parents, I decided to walk there. It’s Ascension day which is an official holiday in Finland, and I usually go visit my parents on holidays.
I noticed some discarded shopping carts in the proximity of the shopping mall, so I returned them. One shopper passing by stopped to thank me.
I noticed that all the shops were open, not only the supermarkets but also the smaller ones like the stationery shop, clothing shops, toy shop, and jewelry shop.
I walked to my parents’ home, once there my mom answered the door.
I drank coffee and orange juice, and ate chocolate- salmiakki waffle bites, feta cheese, oatmeal cookies, and green grapes.
Later the day I left, and borrowed my father’s equipment for washing the windows.
I decided to travel back home on a bus to protect the equipment.
Once there, I made some coffee, put on my gym clothes, and went to the gym.
I couldn’t manage to do all the stretches, but I managed to work out properly. I actually felt the effect in my muscles.
After that, I went to the supermarket to plan what to buy tomorrow, and met my friend Rige. We talked for a while, and then I went home.
Tomorrow I will receive the weekly allowance. I will fetch the mended clothes from the dressmaker, and bring another three clothes for mending. Then I will go grocery shopping.
I will buy just enough food till next Friday, and I also have to save enough cash to pay for the ticket to an aquarium that me and Aurinko are going to visit on Sunday.
In the evening I will go to the gym and do stretches, posture exercise, and the “30 Day Abs Challenge” exercises, and then I will walk on the treadmill for an hour on the Manual setting and watch Big Mouth on the Netflix application on my smartphone.
On Saturday I will wash the windows of my apartment, and then I will go to the gym and do the same stretches, posture exercises, the ab challenge, and walk on the treadmill for an hour.
On Sunday, me and Aurinko will go to the aquarium, after that I will go to my parents’ home to celebrate Mother’s day. After that I will go to the gym again, and work out like on all the other days.
I feel weird right now. Like, hysterical and freaked out and hyperactive. I feel the usual way in the evenings, after I have come home from the gym. I don’t understand why, I thought exercise was supposed to make you feel better.
I also feel weird physically, I feel like my muscles are hard as wood, and I have felt faint and wobbly and almost fallen over a couple of times in my apartment. I guess it takes a while before I get used to exercising.
Suddenly I have got lots of pimples on my bosom, neck, shoulders, and shoulder blades. I don’t know why.
