Sat

So the neighbours are shifting out today
The only people I talk to sometimes and exchange desserts with are leaving!
What shite luck!

Sighs.
Let's see how things unfold.

Latest

My head seems screwed back on after the medicine and I feel like kicking myself for enduring 36 hours of crippling pain just cuz I didn't want to take the medicine and I felt that 'maybe' the pain would subside on its own! Yeah as if that ever happened except a couple times.

Still, taking it a bit easy for now.
Sitting and trying to breathe deep and keeping myself out of any sudden movements that might propel another shock to my neck.
I think I should be totes better by evening.

Now the real question!
What should I make for dinner?

Also I've been in the mood for some delicious cake. I think I'll bake a lovely French apple cake soon!

Argh

Struggling with a crippling headache today
Brought on my neck
My posture has been wrong I'm a way that I have been trying to fix it so much that I actually started trying to not bend me neck creating a stiff position for neck in question that would stay upright and far too taught for its own good.
I have now understood and recognised my mistake .
I need to fix this issue and I no longer need to prop my art on a cushion because that would bring it so close to my face that I actually had to tilt my head up and that's another mistake!

Now I'm going to fix it on my easel and work but I need to figure out exactly how?!
This needs a bit of R&D

Scams

Everyday I get at least 2 calls from Nigeria and I want to know how my number has reached that country and who's calling me and why must they insist on bothering me so much?!!

Things must go

Why oh why do people put labels on their food storage jars when they're made of glass or plastic and are literally transparent!
Like can't you see it's full of dahl or pasta or sugar or whatever that you've to stick a white sheet and scrawl the exact thing everyone can see?
This aesthetic is ridiculous!

Crinkle

8:47 and I'm in bed!
My neck is feeling it today
It's given me a strange heaviness in the head which has resulted in an odd weariness and I didn't want to sit while 'prison break' blared loud on tv as I nursed a strange heavy headedness!
The dinner is done
The dishes are washed
The leftovers are in the fridge
And I'm in bed
Onwards I say
Now reading 'the restless dead' and as usual loving it to bits !

Things done

Visa work done!
It's strange how sometimes things can be as easy as walking into the prefecture office and getting things done without saying as much as two lines.
Usually this procedure involves a bit of a while as the documents (passport) get collected and the process takes a couple weeks but today I simply had to walk in at the designated time and collect what I needed and done!

While it was easy for me there were also refugees and immigrants with their social workers who were going back and forth with their discussions and documentations and elaborate certifications and what not.

I felt for some of those families that might have evacuated their countries for a better life for their children and are now stuck in this loop of incomprehensible document provision where they might be certified as refugees or might have special status as immigrants or what not from war torn countries or maybe just nations that don't treat their people well.
I don't know!

I realised my privilege when a stricken looking woman from some Islamic nation with a small family and with her kids in tow gave my resident card a wistful look, almost yearning and then she glared at me probably trying to figure out why some things are so easy for some and so impossibly difficult for some.

There were people who were visiting this bureau on the daily apparently, sometimes imploring, sometimes pleading, sometimes appending their documents and getting new appointment days each time.

Sighs. I don't know. Sometimes some things don't make much sense.
