Coronavirus Coexistence DAY 84 Thursday, June 4, 2020

Do you sometimes have days where you think… WTF? Well for me, my entire existence is WTF. Unusual things happen to me; my friends who have known me for a long time know that what I say is true. Things happen to me that make you think... How strange? I’m one of those people to whom things happen that other people say… “That almost never happens, how strange that it happened to you”… It’s not strange, it’s my life. And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve been thinking that actually, maybe it’s not that strange things happen to me, it’s that I’m strange and things just happen to me…

Today, more of the same. I’m still trying to help my son report the theft of his card to the bank, and they have told us to do everything through the website or mobile app. everything was fine until neither the app nor the damn website wanted to collaborate. Already desperate, I called the girl at the bank (the poor thing has a hell of a lot of patience), and when I told her everything… she tried to help me, and what do you think she told me? Of course,… she said, “That almost never happens, how strange that it would happen to you”, and I told her, “No, it’s not strange, it’s my life”... She had to consult with her supervisor, the IT guys, the programmers and I think that the programmers consulted with the entities from beyond… In the end, she told me that they were not sure why that was happening, that they had never seen it, and said, “Come by the bank on Monday and we will do everything manually.” Of course, because I have nothing better to do…

And continuing to talk about strange things, today suddenly, they ring the doorbell and I say, “Yes, who is it?” And a voice tells me, “I’m the postman, listen to what I’m saying, I have a package for you, I’m going to put it in the elevator, tell me your ID.” All this over the intercom. I proceed to give him my ID and he tells me, “I’m going to put 2 packages in the elevator, the BIG one is yours.” Let’s see, I wasn’t expecting anything, but when he said BIG, well I expected BIG… I waited impatiently for the elevator to come up and…Well, you can see it in the photo. BIG, BIG it wasn’t, but it was bigger than the other one… Ah, the package was for little Gremlin, some geeky clothes for her…

And nothing, thank goodness I have my interviews to keep me a little sane. I really had a great time, I learn a lot from each guest, and today was no different with Nerea Panera talking about our women’s things… The talk was very cool…

And what else can I tell you? I loved the afternoon rain. I had to take little Gremlin to her friend’s house for a “Slumber Party” and on the way back I got caught in the rain. When I got out of the car, I stayed outside for a bit enjoying the raindrops that fell on me, looking towards the sky with open arms… Of course, as always, I think that I am alone in the world and that no one is watching me. …Suddenly a woman passes by with her little son (he was about 5 or 6 years old), He looks at me and says, “Isn’t the rain fun?” And I say, “Yes, a lot...” And he says, “I like it a lot too, but my mom doesn’t want me to get wet.” And the mother looks at me and the child opens his arms like me and looks up imitating me… The mother didn’t know what to do, I thought for a moment that she was going to scold me, but she told him: “Ok go ahead enjoy” and turned and smiled at me.

Daily reflection: Rare or not, it’s me, I like myself, I like myself more and more. What have I changed? Why didn’t I like me before? It’s one of those strange things that happens, a little like what I was saying yesterday, when I want more, I have less, when I have to do, I don’t… always challenging my stupidity and at the same time maturing… I’m reaching the beginning of what is called the “Crone” stage, type Crone Goddess of course, glamor above all my friends..

“Although I say goodbye to a part of me, other wonderful things appear around me.”
