Rainbow Child

Second to the right, and straight on till morning.

Waking up at 8 has never been easier. I never-ever thought I could do it and here I am. By 8:30 this morning I had made tea and washed half the dishes in the sink. Now it’s almost 10:30 and though I’m still in my pyjamas I finished washing the dishes, had my tea, read 450 items from my reader and had a my morning talk with Martha. I guess the secret of having to get up early and actually doing it lies in the fact that Martha does it to. I would never have done it by myself, but having someone to do it with makes it a lot easier. I wake up, knock on her door, say “good morning”, go into the kitchen, put the kettle on the stove and then we can start our day. I’ve never spent so much time in the kitchen, but I love it The cups of tea we drink/day are countless, the meals we cook are great, the bread we bake is delicious, I just wish this never ends

I’ve started wearing dresses and skirts and I totally love it I don’t have many, but I’m working on it. Also, yesterday I saw the most beautiful pair of orange shoes. Not skates shoes, just shoes. The fancy ones. They were adorable. And expensive. Maybe that’s why I don’t buy that kind of fancy shoes – too expensive for how little I wear them. Anyways, if I ever win the lottery, I will buy them. That’s a promise!

And yesterday (ah, the wonderful day that was yesterday) I got a chance to see and hear mister Salman Rushdie in person. We had top seats (sometimes you just have to know whom to chocolate-bribe ) and it was one of the greatest literary evening ever! The guy is simply awesome – witty, talkative, and has a to-die-for British accent. So glad I was there!

So yeah, sometimes everything is just right, even when you have to wait for 2h to see your far-away friend for 40 minutes in the airport

I usually don’t get sick. Well, OK, I get the common cold every now and then but that’s nothing. But this weekend I ran out of luck.

On Saturday I woke up with a mild headache. By noon my head felt like it was going to explode. I tried sleeping the pain away but it didn’t work. So I had to go to the drug store and get some painkillers. Two hours later I felt fine again. Where did the pain come, that I don’t know.

Sunday started like any other lazy Sunday. Woke up at 10, had tea with Martha and then I just wasted time surfing on the Internet. Everything was fine until I had the great idea of making a lemonade. I made a combo out of 2 lemons + 3 oranges + 1,5 l water. 3 glasses later I was almost crying from the stomach ache. It was absolutely horrible! The pain was so powerful I felt like throwing up. And crying. Both at the same time.

Well, at least Monday is pain-free. Till now.

*Peaches – Fuck the pain away

Talking while having our morning cuppa, Martha and I realised we have no idea what a date is like nowadays. I mean, how do people get to know each other so you can say they actually go on dates? Do they meet in the supermarket, at the movies, on the bus, in a bar? And then what? Thanks for the Internet I haven’t been on a real date. There were always talks on YM before we dated and by the time we got to see each other face to face we already knew lots about our likes/dislikes, favourite colours, favourite bands, habits. Internet does spoil some of the fun of meeting someone for the first time and not knowing what you’ll find out next, but I can’t imagine it being any other way.

Yes, Mum, I know I’m difficult and I know I’m picky and that I have all these crazy habits, but please don’t worry about me, m’kay? I have my ups and downs, just like anyone else. I’m not sadder nor happier than the rest. I’m fine, really. I know it’s hard having such a stubborn antisocial daughter but like someone once told me, things don’t always turn out the way you want them to. So stop trying to change me and just be there for me. Deal?
