maladjusted

19 th of December, 2017
The shower warms in the bathroom lukewarm step in, it is now too hot. Turn it down, it is too cold.
So turn it up again. Temperature ! And after the five minute shower in warm water is past, hear the alarm sounding from the Ipad. The wrong button pressed, the machine wa only in 'snooze' mode.
-
So turn it off, the body still wet, dressed in only a towel, standing barefoot on the cold stones of the hallway. Back to the warm bathroom, finish drying the wet body untill the towel is a sodden thing waiting to be hung up on it's hook. Find the shoes, put on the clothes, put some packets of paper handkerchiefs into the bag.

Walk through town, it is later than imagined. A noisy moped, rattles down the main street having a trail of stinking two stroke smelling cloud of fumes behind it-The bus in first arriving at the bus stop, it is early, or maybe the  watch was wrong. Hurry, the driver makes a joke, the watch is wrong. Five minutes. Pay the driver, this is the same as every day., there is a seat free in the middle of the bus. There we are, just wait until:
the fast ride is over.
Coffee, in the station. Good morning to the smoker. Set the clock on the wrist, it was maladjusted.

Five days to christmas.
Drop ten cents on the floor by mistake. A man picks them up, and returns them. Oh.
