Take a Moment.

I got a new pencil. It’s dark grey and has ‘Take a Moment’ written on it in bronze.

I went to the UWE Library today, Frenchay Campus. Everything in there, including the books looked so old. It was as eighties library and I fell through a crack in time. I guess people only use libraries for computers now anyway, the books don’t matter so much. Books now a days are just extra credit and add-ons if you’re writing an essay. Brownie points for not just using web addresses in your bibliography.

Back to the library.

I made a nest in the corner, in the biodiversity section. I really can nest anywhere. I laid my coat, scarf and cardie on the floor to sit on, surrounded myself with books I wanted to dive into and explore. I watched people go by, drank water from my bag. I should have bought sweets though, or some other sustenance.

I had a good day, ate a halloumi and olive pizza from the cafe, spent some time with my sister, and when we got home, everything, every problem, there was a solution, right there.

I’m getting £250 on Monday, and the new boiler is £240. The phone/internet bill is £70, I have £70 in my account. I wanted soup for my dinner, bought two tubs on my way home, but my mum had read my mind and there was soup waiting for me.

I took a moment and things seem to have fallen into place.

‘The Murder of Miss O’, it’s a book, but you can get it on Kindle.
