I like to do a little bit
of everything - amazingly at the same time so never an ordinary activity
remains as such for long periods. It obviously creates some unintentional
whirlwinds that probably will continue to occur so I apologize for not posting
and keeping quiet but I promise we didn't laze about (only when needed). On
this day it looks like it was hot and summery but it wasn't. It was windy, a
little chilly and fire training at work called for total comfort (flat shoes,
tee and a pair of jeans).
Damian took the afternoon
off so we had no obligations to anything than venture our shopping mall. We didn't just browse but bought a couple of items (my
first pair of ripped below and above the knee jeans which I could put my hands
on a little but I guess that's enough of bare skin in this moody weather and
also the first pair that fits perfectly. I love H&M jeans, there are a
couple of pairs somewhere out there in the mail to me and can't wait to
actually CUT THEM! I find only a few pairs {and not those I'm desperate to
wear!} that are right for my petite size, all the summer/white/patterned rest
is passionately adjusted to my short needs), indulged in delicious comfort
foods like pitta bread with sun-dried tomato and basil marinade, grilled
chicken and chunky chips, something we almost never change (oops!). We also
shared a raspberry cheesecake. It was already a high calorie day, so I just
went all out!
In other news I haven't
been able to enjoy some of the week because of a nasty ear infection that hurts
like no other. I'm the last person to turn to antibiotics or painkillers so I
guess I made it worse just by procrastinating taking them, trying to see how
long I can survive. The pain was unbearable for the first two days waking me up
at five in the morning and I can only wish the antibiotic to clear this up
soon.
Also do you remember when I
spoke of being on a friendship edge? Almost slipping away. Well, the helping
hand has reemerged, building blocks of communication and trust are slowly
piling up (we're past the foundations so it can only get better) through little
chats here and there. For many good reasons my cousin and I have found
ourselves open for knowledge and understanding and will let things
happen naturally on a short trip to Cracow (Kraków in Polish) later in July (it is my beloved Polish
town I secretly dream of buying a whole tenement house there, merge two floors
to live on and rent the rest. I'm pretty certain about it). Tickets booked,
sweet hotel right in the middle of a Jewish quarter designed in a vintage, very
sentimental and romantic style chosen, theater and event guides bookmarked. I
can't wait to slip into whatever is next in this friendship for us but I'd be
lying if I said I didn't have a bad dream about us going separate ways once
everything is said and misunderstood. I'm not going there to tell her I will
change, I'm hopeful for a new path we will both happily step on as grown up
women with different points of view and experiences.
Have a great weekend! x
