It’s like raaaaaaaaiiiiinnn…. On the day that you come home from work, soaking wet and realise that you have forgotten your house key! Hmm, isn’t it Ironic?’. It was 2pm, the rain was falling heavily and I was stood on my doorstep, daydreaming about sitting by the fire with beans on toast and a cup of tea. 2 minutes past and I was still rummaging for my keys in my brown suitcase sized bag, praying that they were in the little pocket where I keep my strawberry lip balm. Another minute past, the rain plunged down from the sky and still… no keys. I called my eldest sister in a frantic panic. ‘Locked out the house, no umbrella, raining heavily, shivering! HELP!’ Thankfully, she was only a mile away, having lunch with my other sister in the local pub. ‘Ooooh no, you poor thing’ she replied sympathetically! ‘Come down and I’ll buy you lunch and a hot drink!’ The thought of a warm cosy pub and a hot cup in my hands, instantly warmed me up inside. So, within 10 minutes, I was finally out of the rain, eating cheese & broccoli soup, accompanied by both siblings and a few old 80s songs on the jukebox *sighs*
It's a rainy Wednesday afternoon (once again) and surprisingly I'm not at work for 2 days. Normal people would jump for joy at the thought of staying at home, but me... well, I would much rather be outside, armed with my umbrella. I suppose I don't like to waste life and whilst indoors, staring out of the window, I feel like I'm doing just that. My aunt is waiting for results to see if she has cervical cancer. Precancerous cells were found a couple of years ago, but she didn't have regular check-ups after being informed. Most people have that 'Oh, it won't happen to me' attitude. Nobody thinks they will get swine flu, let alone cancer. I couldn't sleep last night, after being told by my mum. Hopefully, everything will be fine. The last person to pass away in my family who I was close to, was my dad 11 years ago. Losing someone else would be heartbreaking. It makes me see the reality of life. Most of the time, I'm in a constant daydream, floating around without a care in the world. But hearing the news has made me stop and really think about life...
Anyway, on a more positive note. The autumn/winter collection should be delivered within the next few weeks at work. I get rather excited when the delivery man walks through the door, as it always means boxes full of happiness. The great thing about working in a clothes store? I can always save the best clothes in the back and not have to pay full price, EVER!
Hmmm... I love Georgia May Jagger. She rocks.
... and I want these shoes.
