It started really well, went to tesco's and bought loads of wheat/gluten free stuff and things for my uni return (yh, i'll explain that in a minute) and got treated to lunch out by my lovely mum :)
We then nosed around the shops a bit and i bought two tops for half price in a sale, megascore!!
However, here it turned a bit sour. As materialistic as it sounds, the realisation that my boots had broken ruined my day! They were new on, the first time i'd ever taken them out! Plus i need every inch i can give myself, and they comfortably gave me a lot!! In fact, i would describe them as even more comfortable than my ordinary flats, which is [was] amazing!!
Moreover, what is also sad is the immediate difference i notice that just 4.5 inches made to my treatment. People actually acknowledged me as an equal on the street and whilst pushing the trolley around. I didn't get treated like a child, because i was too tall to be one. People didn't walk into me expecting me to move like they usually do, nor did they 'cut me up' with their trolleys like normal as if i wasn't even there, I had a proper adults right of way for once !!! I know I am not VERY small, but at 5 ft 2 inches, people are often suprised to know that I will be 20 in a few months, exclaiming on several occasions that they thought i was just 14-16. I get ID'd for 15 films, which I understand they must if they are unsure,but still, it's just plain insulting! I even got asked if I needed a kids menus at a restaurant on two seperate occasions just last year. The kids menue is for children UNDER 12!!! It is not the biggest problem i could have, i am fully aware of that, and maybe when i'm 30 i'll be greatful, but right now it is entirely enfuriating! If I can find some more platform wedge boots/shoes to get that won't brake after a few hours, i am considering wearing them most days, just cause it makes that much difference to me.
As for the wheat/gluten thing, I have decided that as of sunday (the day I go back to portsmouth) I am going to stop eating it. This is due to it messing my system up a bit. My mum thinks I am an a typical coeliac as i present only with anemia, and digestional discomfort/pain and bloating. It is likely my mother was a coeliac before she became allergic to wheat barley oats rye and gluten on it's own, however she could not be diagnosed as you have to be eating gluten to be diagnosed, and obviously now she can't because of tghe allergy. But yh, I may be following in her footsteps with that, so i'm gunn a stop eating it mostly now so i don't build up to an allergy like she did (and cause it really hurts sometimes!! :s).
So yeah. that'll be a challenge. I have a lot of assignment stilol to get through. about 4500ish words to be exactish, and about 0 motivation :(. I also want to do a lot of revision notage for at least my cognitive exam, so i need to pick up on all that pretty speedily, but tbh now that i'm in a bad mood, i don't know if i can be bothered!!
As a final cheerier note, here is a yet to be finished 'Wublebug'
Well, thanks for letting me moan :p PEACEOUT!!!
