#BlogLife1045 - Rice on the face?

I have just used up the last of the L'Oreal face wash and now I am onto the Bioaqua rice raw pulp cleanser.

It doesn't seem scented which is a minus point for me, it's thick but not heavy, my face felt super soft afterwards.

It's not suiting direct application on the face brush, it comes out too thickly and went all over my clothes instead of the brush, not a great first impression.

The second time was better but next time will apply it to my hands first and then my face.

I'll let you know how long it lasts and if I notice any side effects or positives during April.

I'm ticked off! My double period has finished and yet my tum is just cramping and bloated which worries me.

Is there going to be a third? Ugh give me a break from the pain ffs.

I still feel really off, if it's not tummy pain, my back is hurting so I haven't felt like doing much this Easter weekend.

I have the UC meeting on Wednesday and decided I will treat myself to pakoras and a wrap.

Possibly some fresh orange juice and snacks too but I can walk and function so it all depends on the pain intensity and energy levels plus if I feel nauseated.

I'm just going to order food instead. I'm also craving rotis but I'm not sure where to get that from.

Ugh Mama told me to use the Cex site voucher, what a horrible page it is.

It doesn't recognise low to high. I don't think the products are new and I chose a few items and when she clicked, they didn't come up.

So I had to search again, 20 pages on the phone because it won't load on the laptop grr.

But I found 4x earbuds, she just said, use it all up, so I sent her the brand names and descriptions and hopefully it will come up on the first page.

So that's my Christmas/Birthday present sorted. If they work I can chuck away an old headphone set that isn't lasting long.

I'm going to wipe them or use the alcohol sanitiser before I wear them.

I'm not in a hurry so will probably get them in summer. I bought me and Mama some protein tablets, I think we are both running out, only 3x month supply left and they are super expensive but useful.

I've written some drafts but I'm not posting this weekend. Tuesday it will be normal but the pain is crushing me and I don't want to do any editing or add anything.

I'm really not in the mood. At least I'm getting chunks of sleep, but all day cramps is ridiculous.

So I got back not long ago and this 3rd period, has stopped I think but the cramps and nausea are too much.

I was late for the UC appointment, of course the buses were delayed and it was so hard to stand.

Was I insane? Did I really think I could go to multiple places feeling this wrecked?

I just quickly browsed my international store for orange juice, cashew nuts and these cake or biscuit things, that were new. I put a picture on Twitter, foodie reviews when I can stomach eating again..

Ugh my tummmmm. I had some KFC and then the rest is for later or tomorrow.

It's the first time I had to put my sunnies on. It wasn't that cold really, I probably didn't need a jacket, just layers.

A weird thing happened at the bus stop. Oh before that the UC was uneventful, didn't wait too long and no condescension today.

Yea so I was sitting down waiting, and this young teen female I would say was just listening to music and dancing.

I didn't think anything of it, to each their own but this mature man, in his 40s/50s...

Felt he had to comment and I felt really icky about it. I don't know if he was filming or took a picture but it made my skin crawl.

He wasn't creepy, he just said It's nice that you're being carefree and dancing and spreading joy.

Now I was glued to my phone but kinda aware and I just kept thinking, Leave the girl alone because you should know better.

And as soon as he made that comment she stopped and probably felt self conscious.

But when he left, she resumed. Maybe I'm overreacting. There was just a lot of interest from very old men when I was lil and it just seems highly inappropriate!!

If you see someone young doing their own thing, Why do you feel the need to bother them?

Yuckkkkkk! She did take it as a compliment but I think if he crossed the line. I would have been livid and shouted at him, to leave her be.

I felt protective. Maybe I'm overthinking it, maybe it is innocent..?

But it feels so wrong and that's how it starts, something that can be taken either way and why was he even at the bus stop, when it wasn't his stop?

That means he followed her there, but people were around. Hell I'm sure there are cameras recording also.

Ick!

Oh there's a new random but as I just sent a picture this morning and there's been zero response, I think new P has lost interest, of course, could be busy with work too.

I just wanted to get it over and done with. He's really funny, not as tall as I'd like but very well mannered and approachable.

I asked him a technical question about one of my stories..... Wow I got it soo soo wrong.

I didn't confess it was about his professional aspect. It's too embarrassing.

I thought I would have the energy to take out the bins but nope, can barely stand without pain so that can wait too.
