I woke up this morning with my back hurting and tense, I must not be used to the new bed… It’s basically a giant mattress on the floor that fills the sides of the room where the window is, the bedroom is small and this mattress fills half of it perfectly. It’s about 18ft long, maybe 3ft tall and 9ft wide, I didn’t measure it. It’s new too, so maybe that’s the reason why I slept so bad…
It was 5:30 am and I was about to get breakfast. It was raining outside, it seems like I didn’t need to water the vegetables at the farm today. However, I was always thinking that this could last the entire day, and I really wanted to go out for a bit. I miss the town.
I got a mug of instant coffee and some toast, sat down on my couch to watch TV while I ate. It was cold today and it surprised me since it’s Summer. I looked out the window and the clouds were covering the sky such that I had to turn on a light. Reminds me of the cold Winters at my parents’ house.
Once done eating, I went to organize my clothes properly, which I’ve neglected to do since I settled here. The phone rings all the way in the kitchen, so I scrambled through the mess. I accidentally hit my foot on the door-frame and I think I left a dent in it. Just my lucky day, my foot still hurts. Anyway, I picked up the phone and it was my good friend Clarissa on the other side, a human friend of mine, about my age. She was asking how I was settling and if I needed help, which I dismissed. I didn’t want her to see the mess, though I invited her to come over later for lunch. She makes a point that it was still raining, so we decided to instead go for an afternoon snack together at the Bond instead, a pub which was designed to let both humans and Giants in. The building is open at the back and has Giant-sized tables, in open-air, while humans go inside the building and can interact with us through the opened back wall on the second floor. They serve good food and I really like their coffee, too!
It was 3:40 pm when we met, I had just woken up from my afternoon nap. She looked stunning and I was wearing the simplest green Summer dress. We caught up a bit and after a while, the conversation went to money and income, and how she was earning more, which made me mention that I wasn’t earning enough for even a new outfit!
Since Clarissa is such a fashion person, she proposed we look for something and she’d help me pay it off over time. I don’t really like to owe people money but I also wanted a fresh look. And so we spent the afternoon together in the Giant stores zone of the industrial area of town. There, they have huge storage buildings that are used as shops, which we can enter without having to bend down, a really well thought out solution for us. There are 2 tailors in town, we went to both but settled with the one with more options. They had a nice dress I wanted, however, Clarissa thought it’d be a better idea for me to change it up a bit and dress in something more modern. We found some white jeans shorts and black boots. I couldn’t ever pay for those, but she was willing to add them to the new outfit. She thought maybe a lilac colour would work well on me, but they didn’t have enough cloth in that colour to make the top Clarissa envisioned. She spent some time with them, discussing some styles and colours and even types of fabric to custom make a top for me, while I was just sitting there listening. I’m… really not much into fashion, so I didn’t know what to say…
After a few hours and some ice cream walk, we arrived back at the store, my outfit was ready to try and this was what they had in mind:
I love it and as such, I accepted they finish work on it. It will be ready tomorrow for me to pick up, I’m so excited! Clarissa mentioned how it makes me look much more modern. We added a few more details in and planned to pick it up tomorrow and get a hair makeover, and I couldn’t say no to that! So tomorrow it is, and I shall post about it!
I came back home a while back, made some dinner, and am now writing this before I take a shower and go to bed. It’s raining again and it’s the perfect time for me to enjoy it and relax. I’ll probably read a book in bed, I need to sleep early, as usual, I need my 9 hours of sleep minimum.
See you tomorrow!
