Last time I told my landlord about my trips he called me a flight v attendant. Idk how Imma tell him about this new one coming up
Maybe I’ll pick a fight by doing for my water bill. Then I’ll slip in my next adventure idk 🤷🏾♀️
Churros!! Here in Spain, churros aren’t sweet; they’re savoury. Dipping them in chocolate (or sugar) makes them sweet. And that’s if you use milk chocolate
I stay denying the Old Country! Best I can do is “I went to University in the States” (true) *or* if they ask where my family from “my parents nem from the States”
Proudly Black, that country ain’t capitalised tho! Idk that country if BLACK ain’t in front
I also love when the kiddos share their lives with me and trust Imma do right. Saw something that reminded me of #NameNiece, sent her a pic and now she’s pleased I’m thinking of her
She don’t know I’m really thinking of the book she recommended. It’s so good!The final book will be bittersweet
I love reminding the kiddos that I’m even *more* unhinged than their parents/home adults. When they and/or their parents say they got a touch more ackrite because of me…
I be so proud of myself
Find somebody safe to play with. I ain’t it, young Loves.
To be fair, this pup is 2,5 kilos and undetectable in his carrier tote bag
But still! It be ya own peoples
I’m dog sitting and I told Line Sister whilst riding the trams I left something at a stop and had to go back for it.
Why this lady ask if I left the *dog* ?!?
Meanwhile, she trust me with HER dog all the time. I ain’t lost HIM
(I ain’t telling her nuffin else!!)
Why did I look at news going on in the States? I know better! I don’t even live there no more!!
(My heart to all my Black -and Native American- peoples there)
The things I’d do for a pineapple soda. You know I *HAD* to get one!
Inspired to make a border run soon for pineapple soda, plus the drank on the other side of the river
#Portugal , we are SISTERS!!!
My father gifted me a beautiful life… the price is DEAR
#Balance
Walked into a Mozambican 🇲🇿 restaurant and all the diners were pigment intolerant. I was about to walk back out when a Black woman emerged from the kitchen. She greeted me and… I’m glad I stayed. She put an extra helping of Love and Black woman in my meal
He coming up with every excuse *NOT* to send me my electric bill. So my sugary drinks stay! We called a truce and are watching #CriminalMinds (in Spanish). It’s one of my favourite episodes
I’m not gonna stop begging for my utilities. Matter fact, Imma ask TONIGHT!
Idc that he dislikes me spending my “fun money” on bills. I don’t have “fun money” *until* my bills are paid. 🗣️ TAKE MY MONEY, SIR!!
(I don’t like having outstanding bills when I’m tryna enjoy myself.)
I’ve crossed the line. This man is OVER me!
Why do my landlord want me to give up sugary drinks?! I don’t like sweet FOOD, but I *live* for a sweet drink.
I’ll stop pestering you to give me my utilities. I’ll go on holiday *before* I pay rent. I’ll go out for Girls’ Night
Lemme keep my sugars!!
I got him watching #BadBunnyTinyDesk. He don’t know it but #Juvenile up next!
English might not be his language but it’s bout to be (please don’t ever let him take his remote back. Imma weep 😭)
In tangential news: I been tearing my house apart the last 2 days looking for a sweater I KNEW I bought. Couldn’t find it anywhere
Fast forward and I get to my landlord’s house… my sweater is in my “lost and found” spot. I accidentally left it and it’s been here the whole time! 🫠
It was his first Popeyes experience. He likes it more than KFC. Also, B.B.B might be a bit explicit of a video for him
(Do I dare press my luck and show him “Tip Drill” *or* “Back That Azz Up”?) 🤔
Landlord got home earlier than I expected. I offered to get us lunch. Went and got Popeyes and after we watched the news, he gave me the remote. I put on the new #Juvie and #GenesisTheGawd song. On his big screen YouTube
I’m finna get evicted, ain’t I? 🫣
(He’s such a good sport.)
I gotta ease back into sewing. Hopefully, I can get back to it for real come mid March. Also hoping the facilitator’s health is alright.
(She told me to read the group chat. I told her I don’t reading alladat; text my neighbour and she’ll tell me)
Made it sewing for the first time in 2 months. The ladies asked where I’d been. When I said “the States”, the entire energy shifted. They were so comforting and lovely to me
(I appreciate that folks KNOW the States is always THE nuclear option. It’s never something I purposely choose for myself)
I could have just taken lorazepam later!
I need this alprazolam outta me now
I hate wasting a good alprazolam! Had a Dr appointment and took normal pre-visit prep. Got to the hospital, a nurse approached me by name and said… it’s a Dr strike today. Girly ain’t here. She’ll reschedule
Me: y’all lucky y’all ain’t wasting my diazepam
(Afternoon unnecessarily altered)
Completely random but that new #Juvie song 🎶 is an ear worm today! Woke up singing it on repeat
Clearly I haven’t matured or evolved since the 99-2000’s. That man gone do it for me every time!
(I’m open to taking alladat *drops signal* )
But the “main character” in Once Upon A Broken Heart feels very much like a secondary character. She’s busy trying to LOOK LIKE the hero that she’s actually a villain. Things end up happening TO her and she struggles with accountability. Stop ignoring wise counsel!!
The book itself is good. #StephanieGarber is a wonderful author. I thoroughly enjoyed the #Caraval trilogy and #OnceUponABrokenHeart. I’m excited to start #TheBalladOfNeverAfter
The #Fates are all such loveable characters (to me)
#NameNiece is a heartbreaker! I was updating her on where I was in the book she recommended. I’m not the biggest fan of a character and told #NameNiece I’m over her existence and want her written out in the sequel. She politely reminded me she’s the MAIN CHARACTER
I’m inconsolable 😭😭😭
It was also a trial run for my minimalist packing. I think I have a strategy for next time! I just have to decide on a colour scheme because cream won’t work with pets involved
(I have *a lot* of cream clothes)
It was chaotic getting to Athens but I finally got b there + had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to go back and explore some Greek islands next time.
Food was incredible, people were friendly and the “diverse” neighbourhood was a treat.
Also, met a Brasílian couple that invited me to come visit!
Mind you, this is AFTER, I told him it’s see him next week. He asked if I had business in town or was coming to shop. I told him I had another trip. He proceeded to ask if I’m a flight attendant now
Sir!!! I advised you last week we finna be roommates. I have things to do!
Landlord think he a comedian.
When I made it to his house last night, I told him I’d go to mine first thing today. Why this man say I must be tired tired because I’m just saying anything?
I had plans to leave early but he wasn’t wrong. Thankful he made me coffee before he left
