I Juggled Phone-Bill Panic, Mother's Day Praise, and Delivery Logistics
மே 10, 2020
A big phone bill, cake greed, Mother’s Day praise, Tesco delivery memories, and dinosaur fantasy all shaped the day, with small logistics somehow carrying more emotional weight than they should have.

I hope that by the time I go downstairs, Puthula akki's chocolate cake is still there for me. I want to eat the whole thing because I'm greedy and greed is good or something I struggle with or enjoy.

Remembering Tesco Deliveries and Keeping the Driver Waiting
When I was in the UK, I'd get Tesco retail shopping deliveries delivered to my doorstep in their trucks. But I used to live on the 4th floor of my building.
So, they'd either give me the baskets to take my food and groceries upstairs or they'd be kind enough to carry it upstairs with me for me. If they gave it to me, I'd keep it inside and then return them next time they came around to deliver my groceries. No worries. They often preferred it this way rather than wait for me to bring empty baskets back.
