I should probably try to sleep since I’ll have to get up early for that product training that might not happen again.

Just one? I gave up on organic chemistry because I couldn’t remember how to draw molecular compounds. Anything with maths will be a challenge. Although I am good at analytics. Maybe not good, but decent.

I should be writing copy for a crowdfunding page but I feel a little overwhelmed. It’s a lot of money.

Pizza! Had to make the most of the water situation because I never know how long it will last.

Got one bucket and might be able to get a second one before cracking open the bottled water.

Mom told me you’re not allowed to eat ice cream in months without an “r” in the name. Incidentally all the cold months in the southern hemisphere.

Looking at more trackies and there’s a heated/massaging hip brace. If I get money back from gap cover I’m seriously considering getting that.

I’m not particularly influential. My website is targeted at women in Jo’burg. But lately I’ve only written a bunch of book reviews. I keep wondering if I’m understanding this question correctly - who I influence vs who influences me. I don’t trust my English these days.

Just received the quote for my hip arthroscopy. It doesn’t include the anaesthesiologist or anything regarding my hospital stay. Good thing I’m sitting down. R75,947.34. So I guess I’m not getting that done anytime soon.

I’m so grateful for this tracksuit I got last month. Thick, fleece-lined fabric. Only wish I’d bought another two (een in die kas, een in die was, een aan die bas).

Objectively, I think it’s cute, but very much doubt that’s a reasonable price. Also, looks like you’ll hear your neighbour sneeze and who wants that?

I should try to get laundry done tomorrow but things will take forever to dry. And get to a point where I’m not sure if’s just cold or still wet. Wish I could take it to the laundromat.

Good news: Not really aware of hip pain today. Bad news: Because the back pain was overshadowing it. I should get one of those heated belt things.
