Lists rule
I've started writing lists. Although I'm generally speaking a list person, I seldom write my lists on paper - at work yes, but I have a good memory so I don't normally have to do it. But now, when I don't really have a structured life style I find that I keep forgetting to do things, forgetting to buy this or that and it's getting annoying.
So I've started writing my lists down. Today I had two lists - to-do list and to-buy list. To-do list was simple: drugs (went to get the next batch of my depression drugs), moisturiser (I swear by Clinique's 3 step program) and lunch. To-buy list was simple as well, although requires more coordination due to my meat limitation: meat (got chicken legs, lamb, and pork, organic of course), fruit and bread.
Honestly, I have to write these kind of things down. Yesterday I didn't write lunch down so I forgot to buy some. Today I continued to explore restaurants on Denman and went for a Mediterranean restaurant (Greek and Persian - how does that work?) and got some lamb with rice, pita with tsatsiki and salad - fast and certainly a big portion, unfortunately quality was only ok. Still, would consider using the place again, as fast as it was. It's funny - these kind of kebab places are quite common in Helsinki and it's only one type of fast food that people regulary eat. In England kebab is only eaten when drunk on your way home back from the pub, and when you wake up in the morning and your whole room smells of kebab you'll never want to eat any ever again, until next time you come home in the small hours and it seems like a good idea again.
