Sunday, I woke up early and I didn’t want to walk. Instead, I had 3 mini croissants for breakfast and then I played games with V boy again till noon. Then I cleaned my room and scrubbed the toilet walls for a while before my brother says he wants to use the bathroom, so I told him to clean it instead. Then I saw that it was a very hot and sunny day and decided to wash my comforter too. Wow, it’s dried by early evening. Smells so good. I am still in the midst of piecing the Ohio Star Block pattern, but I’ll be done really soon. This should be easy. I think I’m going to make a couple more cushion pillow cases for presents this year, since it’s easy. I still like pink colour, but am thinking of trying yellow colour.

I have been feeling better about my own emotions lately. Work has been getting more busy, that is something I can’t change, but I feel that the walking regime has helped me to cope with stress, frustration and loneliness. I’m feeling more at peace. I’m not so bugged by the fact that there is no one beside me, but rather someone whom I can talk to on a daily basis. I must say though that there are a few people whom I talk to online on a daily basis and I’m grateful for it.

I got my date for graduation finalized. I will wear the graduation gown on 28 April. I think I’ll take a day off on 28 April as it’s just too rushed for me. I went to school last week to fill up the form and Tracy helped me to measure the circumference of my head. It was 55 cm. Not that wide! After school, I went to get a new scented candle. My old candle, which I believe is at least 4 years old has winded down to pretty much the base of the cup which holds both the wax, a metal plate and wig. It’s hard to believe it, but I am buying a new candle because I feel insecure. My flat has experienced a total of 3 blackouts in a short half year span, and it scares me that everytime, when I’m not sleepy yet, there is no light or electricity, and my movement around the house is restricted. That’s the reason why I NEEDED to buy a candle, so that I will be equipped with light, should there be another blackout. I hope there won’t be, but you never know. There are also times when the light bulb in the toilet is blown. I can’t possibly find the ladder and a new bulb early in the morning. So I bring my candle into the toilet. I used to be afraid of such a small light source, which does not give me enough assurance, but as time goes by, I’m used to its little flicker of light and it seems calming just to watch it. In fact, on some days, I wished it wasn’t so bright. I feel so relieved when I got my new candle in my favourite vanilla scent. I unwillingly said goodbye to the old one that has accompanied me through the 3 blackouts.
