Thursday.

Had another nightmare last night. Always a nightmare. I don’t sleep very well here in Hong Kong. It’s a thing.

Had a halfway productive day today. Dropped off my sheets and towels at the laundry. Went to the market to pick up a package of bottled water. Popped into one of the fast fashion shops to get some new tops for the hot weather. They were having a sale and all of mine are deformed from too many washes now.

I’m trying to downsize and trade out my wardrobe. The clothes here are not made to last, so it’s just a constant cycle of in and out. Most of the clothes I brought me are falling apart or out-of-style. I’ve updated my wardrobe to look more Hong Kong style. The only thing cheap here are the clothes.

I also grabbed a pair of men’s sweatpants off the sale rack. So comfy. I’m in Heaven! I’m wearing them right now. Now the only thing I need a man for is opening particularly difficult jars.

Last, but certainly not least, I got a little hair clip in the shape of a prawn. It’s so cute! I named it Mandi the Shrimp Crimp. Just a cute little something to brighten up my day. I’ve been feeling really down lately.

Still much left to do in the household. Sweep the floors, clean the bathroom, do the dishes, blah blah blah. I wish I had a helper! Alas, I am broke by Hong Kong standards, so… I gotta do all my own cleaning.

Obviously I’m not doing that. I’m watching Sex and the City for the 80 bazillionth time and writing about the fact that I’m living in Hong Kong and doing nothing with my life. Nothing but running around Central stepping into crazy shit I shouldn’t mess with…

And then she went and picked up her laundry, and made the bed, and then took her stylish new hairclip out for dinner.

Riveting.

I guess we can’t having exciting dates with exotic Russians at the Four Seasons every night, ha ha ha. Sometimes we have to settle for fancy ramen noodles from the 7-11 on the corner. That’s most nights, actually. Three nights already this week. Yeah, I should definitely go for the cheap healthy place around the corner.

Okay, time to go pick up the laundry and grab something substantial to eat. Have a good night!
