Story The turn of the draw

AAAAAAAA I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!

I'm silly, euphoric until now lol.

Seriously, I never thought this would turn into such a huge rollercoaster of emotions, up until an hour ago I was incredibly upset and vowing to never drink a drop of alcohol again because I wasted basically a week's worth of tips on a raffle and now here I am thanking God for doing this.

Suck society, I won the draw.

I drew the biggest prize..... drum roll..... dramatic silence... a 0.07 hectare plot of land with a cabin 25 minutes drive from the city.

I know it's not a large rural property that would turn me into a farmer BUT it's a house of my own that I would hardly be able to afford on my own with the salary I currently earn at the diner, I seriously earn 9.25 an hour + tip.
I have fixed expenses with apartment rent (terrible ×_×), electricity, water, internet, supermarket and other things in life, almost always leaving me with very little savings (if any) at the end of the month.

I basically live to pay bills (sound of crying and sniffling), being poor is so hard.

Of course, not everything is flowers, life is not honey or sugar to make it sweet and unfortunately the property does not have electricity or connection to the city's sewage or running water 0_0 !!!!!!

Total pani in the system, right?!

I'm a city person who, even though I grew up in an orphanage, always had modern amenities up to date. Finding out that something like flushing, which I've always had successfully, isn't a reality in my new home was a huge shock that I'm still processing.

At the weekend, after finishing the paperwork and leaving work I will visit the property and replan my future.

God bless this new journey and give me strength, amen!

It's finally Saturday and a lot has happened in the last four days.

First celebrate universe \o/, I finished sorting out the paperwork (which I didn't know would cost to authenticate) and I am officially and definitively the owner of the property.

Second, I made the budget to modernize and my savings don't even cover the materials, let alone the labor (laughing nervously) so yes, I'm not moving yet.

I usually work eight hours a day from Monday to Friday with a guaranteed income (that is, excluding tips) of $1110 per month, which amounts to $370 per week.

I currently share a $2000 in a three bedroom apartment with 2 other women and spend $666.67 on housing. We also split the electricity, gas, water and internet bills and it comes out to $183.33 each.

Just spending on necessities leaves me with only $260 for food and small luxuries (my moisturizing hair mask that repairs ends and My books).

Of course, this is without counting tips.

It's also worth noting that work offers a free lunch for employees (it's not like that, but for free I even accept vaccines, let alone food lol) so I usually end up with between seventy and fifteen dollars left plus a tip.

Oh, it's so sad to make budgets, my poor savings consist of $3,960 and detail I've been saving since I was 17 and I'm 21, that is, FOUR YEARS of saving and I don't even have FIVE thousand.

For my peace of mind and lack of desire to fall into tears in depression, I will leave the subject of money.

Aiaiai, I'm so excited to get there that even without seeing the place I've already made my to-do list.

The list of Anna's weekend:
• Separate and throw away anything that is irreparable (very broken rubbish)
• Purge all alien beings that should not be in my home (rats, cockroaches, termites, snakes...) •Clean the house
• Find the areas that need repairs and write them down for next weekend.

Oh my God!!!

The bush is MY SIZE in some areas and I'm almost 1.7 meters tall, how am I going to clean it up?

Jesus!!!!
It must be full of animals in this thicket.

Our lady of the unfortunate, I am neither characterized nor equipped for the service.
We started well, we didn't even get to actually enter the land and we already went back to change clothes and buy a hoe.

It's a good thing my car is an old truck, otherwise I'd be even worse off.

Including the hoe was $13.29 and the match was $0.78 (the match was a package of 10 boxes with each box containing 40 sticks).

Current Savings $3,945.93

And yes, I will continue to calculate how much I spend from my savings because my resources are a drop in the bucket for my needs and I need to remember this so I don't go on a shopping spree or give in to my laziness and hire someone to do the heavy lifting.

At home I changed my leggings for thicker jeans and wore boots instead of sneakers, but let me tell you, I don't remember the last time I wore these boots, they're a little stiff and in some places they're a little cracked.

I need another boot, this one is old and a bit worn out, but it's not open anywhere and the bottom isn't coming loose so it can be used.

"Hey I'm back" I shout to the ground.

It's a good thing there's no one around, otherwise they wouldn't think I'm crazy.

I wrap tape around my hand (we don't want blisters, splinters or chafing) and start weeding in the area close to the road with the lowest grass.
I didn't imagine it would be like this, I mean I barely took twelve hoe and I already had to take a break, what a shame Anna, take heart you are no longer sedentary, you have changed and you will prove yourself by going back to weeding.

Yosh, I get up super determined not to give up.

Keep going, keep going, keep going.....

To cheer myself up even more, I go back to the car, drink some cold water from my 2-liter thermos and turn on the sound, putting Hall of Fame on.

Yeah, you could be the greatest, you can be the best
You can be the King Kong bangin' on your chest
You can beat the world, you could win the war
You can talk to God, go bangin' on his door
You can throw your hands up, you can beat the clock
You can move a mountain, you can break rocks
Some will call it practice, some will call it luck
But either way, you're going to the history books
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
You can go the distance, you can run the mile
You can walk straight through hell with a smile
You can be a hero, you can get the gold
Breaking all the records they thought would never be broke
Yeah, do it for your people, do it for your pride
How're you ever gonna know if you never even try?
Do it for your country, do it for your name
'Cause there gonna be a day when you're
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame
And the world's gonna know your name
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
You'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
Be students, be teachers
Be politicians, be preachers (yeah, yeah)
Be believers, be leaders
Be astronauts, be champions, be truth-seekers
Be students, be teachers
Be politicians, be preachers (yeah, yeah)
Be believers, be leaders
Be astronauts, be champions
Standing in the hall of fame
And the world's gonna know your name
'Cause you burn with the brightest flame (oh-whoa)
And the world's gonna know your name (oh, yeah)
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
Yeah, you could be the greatest, you can be the best
You can be the King Kong bangin' on your chest
You can beat the world, you could win the war
You can talk to God, go bangin' on his door
You can throw your hands up, you can beat the clock
You can move a mountain, you can break rocks
Some will call it practice, some will call it luck
But either way, you're going to the history books, hey
I'm standing in the hall of fame

You know now that the song is over and I find myself panting and sweaty because I sang and danced while weeding I wonder if it was a good idea or if I wasted a lot more energy that way. Of course it filled me with motivation and I love the music, it's beautiful.

Well it's not like I have a deadline to meet and I honestly think I should try to enjoy this journey, this new thing that I studied so hard for 4 days to do and now that I am I think I'll just go with the flow.

I come out of my philosophical thoughts and put the grass back together with what is in the middle because I was weeding in a circle to isolate and set it on fire, avoiding the spread of the fire.

I don't use fire now, but rather weed, thus increasing the width of the circle more and more.

Of course, in the meantime I take a few breaks, drink water, listen to music and time passes.

When I can't take it anymore from tiredness and hunger I look at the clock and see that it's already past 14h, I decide that the isolation ring is enough and I set fire to the bush that was in the middle of the circus.

I park the car ahead to face the wind, go back, set it on fire and sit in the truck while watching the fire to make sure it doesn't spread and YES I did it. Feeling accomplished and seeing the fire getting smaller and smaller, I throw dirt and the rest of my water into it, seeing that there are no embers I go back to my apartment, eat a shredded chicken sandwich with carrots, take a shower and in bed I give myself a massage. Even enjoying self-care in the air conditioner.

Not sure if this story is in English. I recognize most of the words, but not the ideas they are meant to convey. Why would someone set fire to an area when going to see a house they had won? (if that is actually what this story is about). Perhaps this is Aussie 'English"? Sorry to be so clueless here.

Sorry, I write first in Portuguese and then translate it into English. The doubt could be because of my lack of command of the English language (I read better than I write).
As for the fire, it is to clear the land.
Weeding and leaving lots of weeds together can attract animals, fire prevents this.
Additionally, mixing soil with ash and letting it sit supposedly makes it more fertile.
Of course, it's dangerous and I also considered starting a big fire and the character having to call the fire department.
But I put myself in the character's shoes and discovered that if that happened I would give up and I wouldn't see how to continue writing.

Sunday, sweet Sunday..... dramatic sigh.....

It's seven o'clock in the morning and here I am again.

Today I'm determined to clean up half the yard.
I came fully equipped this time, right clothes, right equipment, water, food and determination.

Weeding....rest..... weeding..... water..... weeding..... lunch...... rest..... weeding..... fire. ... put out the fire...... mix the earth and ashes... go away.

Monday
I woke up tired, sore and in pain.

I've never wanted to give up something so much in my life, everything I tried to lose weight as a teenager and the fight against a sedentary lifestyle should have made me stronger, but I lack the motivation I had at the time, today I have the rubbish and not the determination.

I take a sip of the black coffee I just brewed and push these discouraging thoughts aside.

I went to work and had a terrible day, the pain doesn't let me smile and act happy enough and my tips decreased because of it.
The lunch available had tuna and didn't taste like canned fish.

I arrived and discovered that one of my flatmates had found a boyfriend. They made a lot of noise.

And so I spent the rest of the week

PAINFULL

TIRED

WORKING

RESTING

And firming my resolve that at the weekend I will finish the garden and enter the house or my name will not be Anna.

Not sure I'd worry about that; many authors on many forums have told me a story sometimes writes itself. Someone has to feed it a little light and give it a push.

Cap 5

Saturday arrived and my work increased *-*

As I am a grown woman, I did have enough self-control to wake up early, I made some coffee and made oatmeal, a strong and nutritious breakfast that will sustain me, and I went to change my clothes.

Just 2 days and the jeans are already falling apart, life is difficult, I'll tell you that people with thick thighs suffer, eh.

The positive side of growing up without money is that we learned several life skills, such as how to do small seams (not that I'm a skilled seamstress, I can only mend small things).

I turn the jeans inside out, put the black thread on my biggest needle and sew the almost 2 centimeters that were previously unstitched.

I get dressed and before leaving I prepare my lunch, water and snacks.

On the road I put on Olívia Rodrigo's drive license and spend the whole way singing and driving.

I arrive in high spirits, turn up the music and begin my mission..... Finish the damn backyard.

Lalalaialailaaa....... laialai....laaaaalalalaiia... I sing to the rhythm of the music.

Half distractedly humming, I notice a figure and when I stop to look I see a HUGE snake crawling close to me. AAAAAAAA I scream, jumping away, tripping in the bushes and falling on my ass.

"Ouch", I complain as I stand up and rub my butt.

"I'm going to be all purple because of you!" I exclaim as I point at the snake.

I go back to the car and wait for the snake to go away while I drink water and browse Instagram.

After about twenty minutes I don't see any animals and I go back to weeding while I thank God for setting fire to what I weeded yesterday because if I hadn't done so I could imagine that I wouldn't have just found the snake.

At 13 o'clock I stop and eat my lunch: grilled chicken breast fillet in butter, boiled green corn on the cob and steamed broccoli, carrot and zucchini salad.

After my meal, I line the truck bed and take the opportunity to take a nap, enjoying the shade of the tree and my full stomach.

I wake up yawning and see that it's almost 4 pm, I get up and start stretching so I don't hurt myself.

I wake up yawning and see that it's almost 4 pm, I get up and start stretching so I don't hurt myself.

Work, work, work, drink water, work, stop to stretch my arms, work, work.....

AAAAA I DID IT, I just pulled out the weeds.

Taking advantage of this enormous feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment, I gather the plants and light the fire.

While it's burning, I eat my snacks: a green apple (I love the sourness) and a brownie-flavored protein bar with hazelnut cream.

When I finish burning it, it's already getting dark, so I mix the earth with the ashes and go to the apartment, leaving it to enter the house tomorrow.

It's Sunday and finally, after more than a week since I passed the house into my name, I was able to get close and evaluate it.

It is a two-story house, at the entrance there are three steps that lead to a balcony (it covers the entire facade of the house, so about 12m? with a maximum of three meters wide) and the entrance door to the house is in the same direction as the steps ( more or less halfway across the balcony)

Opening the door, I can only concentrate on the sad, terrible smell,gruesome, hideous and wow I can use a thousand adjectives and it will not be possible to accurately express how putrid the odor is.

Of course, I immediately closed the door and ran to breathe fresh air instead of poisonous gas.

And now it's official, there's no way I'm going to handle this alone.

I get back to the car super discouraged and all I can think about is my sad savings.

Arriving at the apartment, I take a good shower to remove any and all miasma from the house that may have clung to me and put on a loose leopard print knit dress.

I throw myself on the bed and then start tossing and turning, like a stranded animal, to reach the notebook that is on the other side of the bed.

Seeing that I'm only getting more and more tangled up in the sheet, I decide to act like a normal person for once in my life and get up to get it, only to crash on the floor (AGAIN, DAMN IT!) after slipping on the sheet that fell WHEN I GOT UP.

Asking for patience and promising myself to take a cinnamon bath with coarse salt later (to do a spiritual cleansing, which is not possible, someone is giving me the wrong look), I lie down calmly in bed and start searching on my notebook for the professionals needed to help me. fix the house and your budgets.

And whoever said that today would only be unlucky is going to be in trouble because I found a company that carries out assessments and payment is only made after completing the service and in addition, depending on the price of the work, the cleaning is free.

Very hopeful, I schedule the evaluation for Saturday and spend the rest of Sunday watching The Vampire Diaries while eating popcorn and drinking soda.

Yes guys, FINALLY a weekend where I REST.

Today is Tuesday, the end of the month, the day to receive your full SALARY, count your tips and go shopping.

AIAIAAAAAA (I sigh happily and make a very dramatic silly face as I tilt my head and look at myself in the mirror)

Math time:
9.25 per hour x how many hours I work in a day, eight
9.25x8=74

74x5=370 (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday)

370×4.43(end of March which has 4.43 weeks)= 1639.10

Tip: 458.62

Total = 2097,72

Now the sad part of mathematics..... the subtraction of my salary (face with a horrified expression)
Rent + apartment bills -> 666.67 + 183.33 = 850 2097.72 - 850 = 1247.72

I'll go for 300 for my savings.

Savings: $3. 945, 93+ 300=4,245.93 dollars.

Now I have 947.72 to do my shopping and have money to buy things over the next month.

Before going shopping, it's time for COUPONS, the best friends of most of the population.

I will warn you that I am not an expert in the use of coupons and I know how to combine a store coupon plus a merchandise coupon and a big discount, I am not the type of person who will have the coupon for either the store or the merchandise and I will end up without having one A large purchase costs a small amount, especially because there is no point in me making a gigantic purchase alone.

If I weren't a single proletariat but a married housewife with a family, I could take these courses on how to use coupons, I could dedicate a lot of my time collecting your coupons because then it would be worth it.

Because of my new busy routine doing and looking for things and knowledge to take care of my property (I feel so fancy saying I'm a homeowner now) I didn't have time this month to collect a lot of coupons so I won't get a big discount.

Let's see the ones I have that are worth using are:
• a coupon for powdered milk that when buying four 500 g cans of powdered milk, each can costs $1.75 (1.75x4=7)

•a coupon for chocolate from brand x in which when you buy two 1 kg bags of chocolate chips you receive a 65% discount.
I know what you saw doing with all that chocolate, NO, but as it has a long shelf life I'm not going to worry about what to do, but rather about the calories lol

•and the last food coupon that I have and can use is the one for oats, this gives me a little discount, only 15% when purchasing more than 1kg

I went to Walmart and spent $371.50

Needless to say, it was a very expensive grocery purchase for just one person, believe me I know.

I have a personal belief that you can't play with food, so I buy a lot of organic fruits/vegetables grown without the addition of pesticides, they are not cheap and as for other industrialized food products, I usually buy the more expensive version as there are fewer harmful ingredients/preservatives/additives (always reading the label to compare products).

Another thing that I don't mind spending on is my hygiene and home hygiene, as this is quality of life, so in addition to already having a brand that I find more efficient, I always look for the scents that I like most, which is something that It’s always changing, right along with the prices. always keep in mind there is no point in buying the cheapest soap if it irritates your skin, there is no point in buying the cheapest cleaning product if you need to use half a bottle of it to be effective in cleaning (always remember quality versus quantity, quality always wins).

Well, we're done with the mandatory spending for each month and let's go to my Amazon shopping (of course I paid more attention to Amazon coupons than food, I'm a normal young adult, ok?!)

Even though I keep an eye on Amazon coupons, I still only have two usable ones because I'm not rich.

A coupon is what gives me a 60% discount on bottles and thermal cups that I would use to buy a bottle of stainless steel coffee with thermal insulation being made using a vacuum that costs 423.38 and with a 60% discount I will pay 169.38 and the other is a coupon that cannot be used together with this one and is for a general purchase that is placed at the end of the cart since it is from the store and gives me a 20% discount, in this one I bought a 2-Speed Hand-Cranked Blender from 22 dollars+ a wind-up kitchen timer for 13 dollars+ set of mortar and pestle for 31.20+ kit with 5 solar-powered lamps (the one that comes with the solar plate built into the lamp) for 77.90.

I know what you must be thinking "what a random purchase" But little grasshopper, think with me, I don't have money to put lights in the house yet, which means I'm going to have to manage without electrical wiring. To have light, I buy a solar-powered lamp, to cook, I buy hand tools (I already have a barbecue that I can use to cook things) in addition, this thermos is a consumer dream that I've had for a while as it promises to leave the hot or cold liquid for up to 72 hours, the deal is chic and all technological.

Going back to the math:
942.72 - 271.50 from groceries = 571.22 - 169.38 from bottle of fancy coffee= 401.84 - 115.28 from other Amazon products= 286.56 to use for the rest of the month.

Until i have a good amount left in case of need or if i feel like going out or even if i see something i really want in a store.

Here's to April because I'm going to rock the same in March.

Author's note here:

Hi, chapter 7, despite seeming silly and out of touch with the previous chapters, was one that I found very important because it shows how Anna is not a survivalist, it shows that she is just a relatively normal 21 year old girl.
In the chapter we see your spending priorities such as food and your investment in your quality of life.
I hope you can see that she is not very connected to technology and I also hope it was clear how she still has that youthful impulse as demonstrated by the purchase of that very expensive thermos that she will never use to keep anything hot for 72 hours in there and that it was just an impulsive desire.
Please, I beg you not to expect a prepared, knowledgeable or experienced protagonist.
My goal is to present a young woman's journey to a more self-sustainable life without the initial goal being a self-sustainable life.

Look, so much has happened since Tuesday that I'm not in a position to report it here, so I'll just say one thing: seeing only the negative side of events, complaining all the time and just living in the past is not good for the mind or the body, no. It's good for the personal or the social because no one likes complaining people who like to victimize themselves, so instead of following the path of my colleague at work who committed suicide because of the previous reasons (she went into depression), follow my example and enjoy the little moments, the little things that life offers.

Another thing, don't compare yourself with people who are at your level or above your salary level, compare yourself with people who are more screwed than you and then you'll look, see that it's not that bad, you'll be motivated, you'll see that the Life can get worse and you will work to not let it get worse.

To finish this week's philosophy, here is some advice: if your environment cannot be changed, change yourself, as the worst attitude in these cases is to let yourself stagnate.

Speaking of this week's events, I have some news, the news is that I gained 2 kg, so you ask me how it was and I answer that I made a lot of recipes using that chocolate I bought.

Wow, what a great week in the gastronomic sense as I made cookies, brownies, stuffed cakes, mousse, I even made ice cream with chocolate, can you believe it?.... stopping now to think, I'm lucky to have just gained weight instead of having acquired diabetes.

Focusing now I'm going to my property to meet with Jorge, architect of the company I intend to hire because today the budget will be made and I'll be able to find out if it fits into my limited fund or not.

Around 9 o'clock in the morning the architect arrived and I'll tell you he was cute, young, no more than 30 years old, tall, brown hair, light brown eyes and he wasn't muscular but he wasn't skinny either, so in short he's pretty hot.

I would like to say that the next paragraphs would be about our milk or a good conversation in which we get to know each other.
Unfortunately the reality is different, I'll start from the bottom up in my description, the house has a basement that is infested with animal nests, seriously the basement formed its own ecology, its own habitat.

On the first floor, the kitchen has to be completely removed. I didn't understand what happened since he used a technical term and even when he simplified it at my request, it didn't make any difference to me since I didn't understand anything (another subject that I will need to study: constructions and renovations), basically half of the floor in the room will have to be replaced and the fireplace will need to be renovated a little.

Surprisingly, the stairs are really good, you just need to put a few nails in some that are not so firm and squeaky.

On the second floor, it needs cleaning because there is mold on the walls and an adjustment to the roof where some tiles are broken and others are out of place.

Jorge told me that despite how ugly the situation seemed at first, after the analysis he found that it was very simple as there was no structural damage, that other than the infestation and the roof, the other problems were simple and cheap to resolve. He made me two proposals, the first proposal was the cheapest one in which I buy material on the side which eliminates the labor and the second proposal was that I pay for everything and worry about nothing.

Although the first proposal seems cheaper at first, it doesn't accommodate me because it doesn't reach the minimum value to come with free cleaning (not to mention the fact that I don't know how to choose construction materials so it might be more expensive to buy materials outside), I decided and signed the contract for the second proposal, spending 2,450 dollars.

Savings:
4,245.93 dollars - 2,450 dollars = 1,795.93 dollars

The most expensive of all was the roof which is not unexpected as a roof is never a cheap thing.

Wow, now that this is resolved I'm super excited for the end of the renovation, when I will transform this house into my home.

I've lived in different places, different foster homes, but I've never had a home, a place to call my own and now I can't wait for that to happen, it's like realizing a dream I never knew I had.

Life is a surprise and we never expect the news it brings us.

OMG Lylythye I am so impressed! Going from one language to another is unbelievable. I’m so happy to see you give it a go. I can’t spell and spend most of my time looking up words. If I can write you can do it. I understand the story, and feel the emotions in the words. That is what counts the most. You go for it. Thank you so much.

Hiring a specialized company can be more expensive than individual labor, but we will agree (because we have to agree) that it is much faster.

Speaking of this subject, you won't believe it, nor can I believe it, you know what I finished weeding, so that was just the front part of the house, there's land behind it and I didn't think about it and how did I find out?
They asked me if the well was working and there was a way to get the water out of it and what was my reaction?
Was asking "what can I do, man?"

When I asked this question, they looked at me in such a way that I was so embarrassed that I started to hear that song from the Lion King playing in my head, and the song has stuck with me until now because it's like chewing gum coming and not letting go.

If anyone wants to know the song, of course I'll tell them, I won't have this song stuck in my head alone lol. In the choir with me (Everyone taking a deep breath and preparing to give their best intonations)

Deception, disgrace
Evil as plain as the scar on his face
Deception (an outrage), disgrace (for shame)
He asked for trouble the moment he came
Deception (an outrage), disgrace (for shame)

Evil as plain as the scar on his face (see you later, agitator)
Deception (an outrage), disgrace (for shame)
(Traitor, go back with your own)
He asked for trouble the moment he came (see you later, agitator!)
Born in grief, raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate
Let him run, let him live
But do not forget what we cannot forgive
And he is not one of us
He has never been one of us
He is not part of us
Not our kind
Someone once lied to us
Now we're not so blind
For we knew he would do what he's done
And we know that he'll never be one of us
He is not one of us
Deception, disgrace
Deception, disgrace

Guys, I love Disney movie music.
I'm seriously considering getting home and marathoning all the Lion King movies, they're awesome.

You know what, on Friday when I get home from work I'm really going to do a Disney animation marathon.

I'll start with my favorites, watching Tarzan, Mulan, Alice in Wonderland, Lion King (all of them because they're perfect) and then I'll go to the princesses.

It's going to be such a fun night full of nostalgia (I sigh happily at the thought)

Despite everything I said, I realized that from the beginning I lost my train of thought and completely strayed from the topic I was supposed to talk about.

They say that God writes correctly with crooked lines and so do I hahahah (forced and embarrassed laughter)

Going back to the work that started on Sunday (nimble and efficient staff, this one, it must be because they don't get paid by the hour but by the service. If they finish earlier, they can take another job and earn more, it makes sense now that I'm thinking about it), Here's the new discovery that despite most of the free land being in front of the house (and that's what confused me, ok, I'm not that incompetent) there is still part of the house where there is a well, who knew.

And if the fact that the well exists wasn't news enough, they saw that it's still good and can actually be used surprisingly well.

Now finishing my report about the well, I need to tell you the second news which is not as surprising as the existence of the well but is super important, they confirmed the delivery date of the house, on Monday I have to be there to receive the house and pay the remodeling.

I'm feeling so proud of myself, it's a feeling of growth, of being an adult that I've never felt before, not even when I started working or moving into the apartment I felt like this.

Believe it or not, all this emotion made me hungry.

Poor people's joy really doesn't last long, right? I don't know if I'm unlucky (lucky?) or clumsy, I just know how normal it is that I'm not.
I didn't say I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen, I took the papaya, I cut it, I took out the seed and it was peeling, right? My hand slips, the knife goes straight and cuts my nail.

I know, it could be worse, it could have hurt me badly and that I shouldn't complain that the only slice was my fingernail.

I'm only complaining about the nail because it's impressive, every time it grows a little something happens and I have to cut it all over again.
This time one was cut by the knife, the last one was because I hit my pinky on the chair, breaking my nail, the previous one was because I got nervous and bit one.

There are things in life that are inexplicable, my inability to have long nails is one of them.

Obviously I prefer my misfortune to focus on my nails and my (non-existent) love life and let me be lucky in other areas of life, as has happened so far.

A big damn to all the fortune tellers, seers and prophetesses who predicted that I would be unlucky in love, as I prefer to be single and have the luck to gain land and contact an efficient company that returns the finished work to me in 8 days.
