MONDAY
I wore odd shoes to work today. They’re the same colour, but a different style. One’s quite bigger than the other. It was still quite dark when I put them on in the morning, and I was tired. I’m not sure if anyone at work noticed, but some kids on the bus home asked why I was wearing odd shoes.
TUESDAY
I put on a limp at work today, so that everyone would assume I had a broken toe, and that I had to wear yesterday’s odd shoe for medical purposes. No one asked me about the limp, or said anything about the shoe, which makes me suspicious.
WEDNESDAY
Some Spanish people got on the bus today. Or Italian? Very loud.
THURSDAY
Made spaghetti today. First time! A bit watery, but all right.
FRIDAY
Spent the day looking forward to the weekend.
SATURDAY
Went to the laundry. The bus kids were skateboarding outside. They asked to see my toe. Then they asked if I’d buy them fags if they gave me the money. I took the money to the newsagent across the street, bought the fags, and ran off. I can’t believe I outran the little brats! Probably because I don’t smoke.
SUNDAY
Spent the day dreading work. Smoked some of the cigarettes. Feel sick.
11.27pm Just realised that I’ve left my clothes at the laundry. Shit!
