Sunday Summary 3.4

I seem to be having some reoccurring bad luck lately which is this: I run into our local (very, very small) convenience store in search of a maximum of three things at any given time, crisps, fish fingers or feta cheese. This specific shop has around three aisles, four if you include where the till is, and a frozen section the size of our washing machine. So, there I am, three things in hand, or maybe two or maybe one and I'm in the queue leaning on my heels as I suck in the air on the inside of my mask.

I take my time to do some careful mental gymnastics, calculating how long I have left of my lunch break vs how many minutes the fish fingers are going to take to cook. I'm going to be out of here in no time. Then, in a state of mild panic, I watch the customer in front of me slide an overflowing basket across the counter as the contents squeezes against the perspex divider. The supermarket employee then starts bagging the items as fast as she can as a significant line forms behind me. I turn to look at the queue and there's a girl struggling with a very large bottle of water, I didn't even know they sold them in here, do they? How Interesting. Sweat is beginning to accumulate on my forehead and I'm two Taylor Swift songs deep without having moved anywhere. 

I blame myself, and poor timing, my bastard impatience, and shit luck.

1. Met up with Em today to get very soggy hot chocolates in the rain.

2. Our landlord stopped by last weekend and dropped off a few Christmas goodies for us, which included this mistletoe and eucalyptus candle and it apparently smells like a brisk winter morning walk. Not sure on that one.

3. Sky over London showing off.

4. Very Intense Christmas decorations that left me wondering how the occupiers enter their home. 

5. Here is a picture of me xo

Closed tabs of the week: 

Something about the Sims 4 update. Estrid razors. How to stop spiralling. Mariah Carey's Magical Christmas special. Uniqlo website. Mint tea. Mall Grab. Ordering tracking for three different things. Eytys Halo black leather trainers. Here's the right way to approach your gym crush (lol). Dubarry boots. 

Skincare update: 

Hormonal problems aside my skin is looking a lot, lot better and Emily even told me today that I looked like I was glowing! I stopped wearing foundation about a year ago so when I get a super bad pimple I find it really distracting BUT in the past week I have noticed such an improvement in my skin which is a huge relief for my confidence. 

NEARLY CHRISTMAS, I am absolutely shattered, what a year.
