Lesson # 8: Other’s fortune can be your own

Today when I was walking through the carpark to head into the local supermarket, I caught a sight of something that made me giggle. A packet of black&gold birdseed had fallen from someone’s trolley and split open onto the road. A lucky pigeon had also spotted it and was muching away, the happiest little bird I have ever seen! I smiled, and realised that someone else’s fortune had made my day. Even if it was only as small as a bird.

Lesson # 7: Wear appropriate footwear when it rains

In my eagerness to get out and about during the first wet days of the Autumn, I headed out with my raincoat on to class when…

ooops! It started to bucket down! And suddenly I remembered- wet shoes are not fun. My little lady jane shoes were soaked through and squelchy squishy within seconds and then I had to have wet feet and wet stockings all day long.

Better wear something more appropriate next time!

I wish I had a cat

This isn’t a lesson. I just wish I could have a cat. But I can’t, so this is me in my imaginary room with my imaginary kitten. Her name is ginger and we have matching hair colour :) allruggedupsml

Lesson #6: There are some days better spent in bed

When you asked your crush out and he said no, your face exploded with pimples, your hair grew a mind of its own, your cooking turned out horrid and your rooms a mess- It’s time to stay warm and snuggled under the covers.stayinbed

Lesson #3: Always check where your parking your fine behind

wetchair1This happens to me a lot in bars, when I’m not paying attention. And, its usually when I’m wearing a risky skirt or dress which means I have to discreetly make my way to the nearest bathroom and prey to god the hand dryer is working, to avoid any unnecessary sympathy stares or raised eyebrows.
