I hate being sick. Yesterday I still felt fine (well, besides randomly feeling like bursting into tears) but now I’ve got this really annoying cough that won’t stop unless I continuously drink hot tea. Which means that I gotta go to the bathroom once an hour. rolls eyes At least my eyes have stopped watering now. It’s weird, sometimes I can’t tell the difference if my eyes are just watering because I’m sick or if I’m actually crying. o.O

Anywayz, met Auri and Wind yesterday. Walked around with them and talked. It’s been ages since I’ve been out with friends. I think the highlight of our time together (for me anyway) was when we had lunch and just sat there catching up with stuff. Then there came the episode at the train station. Wind had already left, so Auri and I sat at the station waiting for our trains. Then all of a sudden I burst into tears. Right there, in the middle of the station. One of the very few things that I like about Finland is that no one really notices if someone’s crying. At least I didn’t get the feeling that I was being stared at. Same thing on the train. Even if someone had asked what was wrong, I couldn’t have explained it to them. Well, I missed the train I was supposed to take, but luckily there was another one 6 minutes later which meant that I’d have to run to get to work on time. I did make it though. I was actually 2 minutes early. Not that it mattered much since I still had to wait 10 minutes to get the keys to the locker room. The thing that struck me while on my way there from the train station was that when I had to stop at the lights to cross the road, this late 20s early 30s Middle Eastern guy begins hitting on me (in Finnish).

Him: Are you listening to music? Me: What? takes head phones off Him: Are you listening to music? Me: Yeah. puts headphones back on Him: Where are you going? Me: takes headphones off Work. Him: Aah. Late shift? Me: Yeah. Him: Until when? Me: Nine. Him: What are you doing afterwards? Me: Going home. o.O Him: Noo.. let’s go bowling! Me: Can’t. Got work tomorrow morning. Him: Where? Me: At a hotel. starts crossing the road practically running

That was really weird. Especially since I could feel that my eyelids were swollen from crying and I assumed that my eyes were red. Possibly the weak lighting made my eyes look normal.. Then at work I got a txt msg from Auri which I read during my break inviting me to stay over at her place for a week. Again, made me want to cry. I really need to sleep more. I can’t afford to randomly begin to cry, especially at work. At least tomorrow I don’t come in before noon. :) And I have a Sunday shift! w00t! Which means that I get 130€ for 7 hrs of work. Plus the 10% holiday pay or whatever it is. Fun fun. ^_^

Well, I’d better get back to work..
