Paid £208 to have my alternator replaced. Praying my car is fixed now. Bills, bills, bills… My car just broke down again after having been repaired. Feel like crying. Really

Really My big brother came and had a look at my car and tightened a few connections and it is running like a dream now. Over the fucking moon.

My boiler is playing up now. I think there is something wrong with the thermostat. It keeps turning on when it shouldn’t. Haven’t had to touch my boiler since I bought it 10 years ago.

Just booked a ticket to go to the “Godiva” music festival in Coventry tomorrow with friends. Me, Abigail, Mark and Bal are going. I’m driving. £6 for a day ticket and £10 parking when we get there. Just decided to go now in the pub.

Went to the Godiva festival today in Coventry with Abigail and Mark. The highlights for me were The Fun Loving Criminals and Sister Sledge. I hope Abby doesn't mind me using her photo.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for that for over two years now and we were finally able to see soccer live again! Great match, thanks to my daddy for driving. What a great night! I really hope my bad karma finally found an end. I’m happy to be in Skopje and Hamburg soon! ❤️ best way to squander some time until I can finally see Avril again lol 🙈

Today I walked in the morning to the grocery store for some things to make dinner. Later on I got my second dose of Pfizer wich went well, just a sore arm now and before dinner I walked to a store for some shower gel and made dinner after that.
It’s so relaxing that now that I’m having vacation I can walk in the morning to the grocery store or something and I really enjoy that. When I have to work I have to be at work at 7AM so at 6:30AM I’m always in my car and now I can enjoy mornings more! Makes me happy.

I now just figured out that my county has quite an extensive bus system and I'm a really bad driver with only a permit. I'm gonna give the buses a test and see if I like it. I feel like I'll need it in the future.

Enjoying simple pleasures on holiday. Good for you. I’ve had a stressful day at work. I was training up these young 18 year old lads. Fresh out of school. Like I’m some kind of authority on what I’m doing, yeah right! I’ve only been in my new job 3 months myself. Just really unnerving.

My god. I walked and jogged almost half a mile to the bus stop only to realize that I forgot my mask when the bus said "No Mask. No Service" on its front sign. Oh well. It's a good thing this was just a test. Now I'll remember if I gotta do something urgent LOL.

Another stressful day trying to train young upstarts how to do this job properly. Keep calm and carry on. We were all young once...

I discovered that my US women's shoe size is 8.5, extra-wide after I discovered that men's size 7 standard can be very difficult to find. LOL.
I didn't want to use my expensive treadmill shoes for outside, so I decided to buy cheaper running shoes for going out.

Another day dealing with young lads at work. Very cocky youngsters but the one behaving particularly badly got a bollocking from the boss and that put me in a good mood. My training at the charity shop means I'm well equipped to deal with this stuff. In my experience they either change their behaviour or leave.
