Life updates
Thursday, 26 March 2020 13:45First, a bit of a rant.
There’s a new colleague at work. It annoyed me, especially for what she’s done. I know her as “an alumni from the same University”, a year above me. I know her for a certain name (long, convoluted, many syllables). I don’t have her on Facebook, but she has a very good friend on my Facebook, so I sporadically see some updates about her.
She’s recently joined my company and introduced herself as another name (one syllable). I scratched my head. “Aren’t you called *previous name*?”
“Oh yeah but it’s a weird name, so I’m going by this name here.”
Huh. Again someone who changes their name as easily as changing their clothes. And I find that super annoying. Especially when she said “going by this name here.”
*chill* *meditate* *tomorrow will be a better day* *breathe in* *breathe out*
I really think I have some kind of godmother or guardian angel (or whatever you like to call it) or just plain dumb luck with accidents. This is the second time in my life that something like this happened.
We were in the dog park and my dog was causing some trouble, so I ran over to the dogs. Due to the grass, I didn’t see the uneven grown, but I apparently sunk one foot into a sinkhole and fell. I’m super lucky I only got some scratches on both my legs (wearing shorts), because it could have gone very badly, like dislocating my knee or fracturing my leg. The first time this happened, I was lucky I only had a slightly sprained ankle and not an outright dislocated foot.
I’m a bit sore though because I did hit my right knee a bit, so it’s a bit black but otherwise I’m fine. Just super itchy legs today because of the scratches.
We are now up to 30 cases of confirmed Covid-19 and more hotels have been reserved for quarantine use (for the incoming people). Other than that, life is just going on as normal as can be.
