The golden 30

I hate tablets. If it ain’t a laptop and it ain’t a phone – it should be used as a chopping board.

As per usual, life is annoying the crap out of me. What happened to the days where we were young, free, careless and living was simple? It was all about trading. You give something – you get something back. Now it’s all about taking whatever’s up for grabs. Or being mistaken for grabs. A pervert walked through the park today and took creepy pictures unasked. He was chased into the bushes and disappeared into a black hole after that. In general there was a lot of yelling today. All in all a normal day at the lake.

I looked at flights to the Bahamas. It’s never been so cheap. 608 Euro return from Tegel! But then again, if I go to the Bahamas, why return? I haven’t looked up one-way fares but will put that on my to do list. Lists are fun. They do help getting things done. Except sending a letter I’ve been carrying around for weeks now. Where did all the mailboxes go? Do they still exist even? Who’s sending mail still and why does my insurance make me.

Even though I have been chilling at the lake, winter is slowly creeping up on me. I did go for a swim cause there’s no public toilets in this city - but cold is not the proper description for the temperature of the water. It’s meant to kill. I actually had the feeling of emergency at some point just before your organs shut down. You know when you swim a few strokes and you start to become used to the cold and the cold becomes used to you? That didn’t happen. It wanted me out. I felt rejected by the lake. So I dragged my sorry frozen butt back to the shore right before my heart would have stopped I believe.

Allergies. After a few weeks in wheat-city, I developed a gluten intolerance. So I guess. I don’t know for sure. Doctors here don’t care so much about the peoples health issues, so I ordered a self test from an online pharmacy. That together with a chlamydia-test. Just because they had it on sale. You wouldn’t believe me what’s out there waiting to be ordered for delivery to my doorstep. It’s a jungle! So the chlamydia-test was easy to execute. And FYI since I already involved you – it was negative. And I have been told this is positive. Anyhow, the gluten test kit was a bit more complex. I fucked the little feather needle thingy right when I opened the package and then spilled the liquid in the little bucket thingy that I was supposed to mix with my blood. There was still some liquid left and the needle was still usable so I did it anyway. It was negative too. But I don’t believe it entirely. So let’s say there’s a 50/50 chance that I am gluten intolerant. I think.
