this is the rhythm of the night
Today, per usual, I woke up at 6:50/7:00am and lay in bed and went on my phone, per usual (rip). However, this morning, I had cramps and it took me longer to get moving. I needed some moral support, so I called my long-time, long-distance (and long-time-long-distance) sweetheart Big ZaZa (his choice of pseudonym). We discussed several things of both little (how I pronounce Hindi words) and great (his cooking and baking undertakings) importance. Finally, I forced myself to put on a "doable" outfit, neither sexy or frankly that comfortable because I forgot to do the laundry. Then made some breakfast. Boiled egg. 15 minutes before I had to leave, I just decided I would not go. A spontaneous thought. The cramps were not even so terrible, I just didn't feel like dealing with children and pain at the same time. Plus, I promised myself I'd work on some assignments. Something has been terribly wrong with the water heater that both an electrician and plumber needed to be contacted. My parents arranged it (yes, I am 25 and live with my parents but it's so expensive living in Aotearoa on an unqualified ECE teacher's salary and IM FROM INDIA!!) and sometime around 1pm, the electricians arrived. One of them sang ONE line (that's all it takes) from that this is the rhythm of the nighhttt song and it was stuck in my head. I had to consciously monitor myself the whole time they were there so that I would not blurt out the song while my brain was on autopilot. But why shouldn't I? The rhythm got me, is that so terrible? No it's not. And I did, blurt it out, I mean. Thankfully not too loudly and only my brother heard it. The rest of the day was alright. I did manage to get some work done. Severance this week was...Slow. I love it but man it's testing me. My brain is so fried I can't get on board with these weekly releases. I know it's so weak. Now I will shower and watch The Substance. I have been WAITING for it to become available on some platform. Thank you tvnz. Not much else to say. <3 sam
