Nowadays work has not been smooth-sailing. Also, today, a friend decided to talk to me like a rabid Rottweiler (is that how you spell it?) getting all defensive and rude. The tyre of my car got punctured - third time this month. I nurse a slow fever and a slight headache. My eyes are dry and my gums hurt while my teeth compete with my throat over who can give the sweeter pain. So, all in all, crazy day. A while ago, though, yesterday to be precise, I had this strong urge to turn my life around by the end of the year.
