Episode 1, Contractors Wake Up Call

New Series "Pixie Dust Diaries"

Episode 1, Contractors Wake up Call.

Last night I went to bed on the fact that a little boy, who was very shy and had to have his mummy speak for him, tell me that I looked like Elsa from Frozen. Can I just say, I have unlocked the 'Ultimate Hair Goals' achievement. Also, having a short pixie cut, that changes every 4 months, I feel like my year has just reached a new level of success. (It's through moments like these that I understand the phrase "take joy in the little things," when in fact, this is a 'big' thing...) So, I went to bed feeling great, and because of going to bed feeling great, there is an assumption that waking up feeling great, follows. I would have felt great if the contractors pouring concrete outside my bedroom window, were young hot and had their shirts off (materialistic-blonde-with-high-expectations), but this is reality, so as you can imagine, they're old. One of them is from England and the other 4 are from some European country and I can't understand what they're all shouting at, or about. This is by far better then my soothing alarm, which gets louder as I ignore it. If I ignore my alarm I fear waking my housemates. I feel like how a house-cat feels, when left outside in the rain. Put-out and feeling as if the universe does not, in fact, revolve around me. (I'm not a privileged princess, but I like to think I am.) My fear of waking my housemates was dashed, as the contractors did the waking for me.


My day certainly got better, and then extremely worse, and right back up to an ultimate high, in which no one can bring me down from, as follows. I went to see my first Opera today! Although, besides being in English, I couldn't understand a lyric. It was a terrible first experience, but I am glad I had it, I caught up on some sleep. It was so un-grasping that I fell asleep, three times, during the performance. Which I feel so terribly about, these performers and musicians were entertaining me and I was falling asleep and not doing my part as a productive audience member. There were even subtitles, which I did not have a seat that could read them. However my day did get much much better after that, I went and caught up with some of my friends and did some fabric shopping, which proved challenging. I did manage to get a lot done yesterday. Once I was home, I quickly ate some dinner and was out again as my housemates had a film screening for their short animation films. It was such a lovely evening, I experienced so much. Both my housemates are so talented, it really inspired me to push myself and to see and do more.





As I am posting this a day after, the contractors are still present, and still up at the crack of dawn.
Sleep - 0
Reality - 1



See you soon!
