nausicaa83Today was an historical day for me. The first time in seven years I went downtown and ended up in the Acqua Alta! Not per se, as I just stepped on the footbridges and kept walking, but it was a great nostalgic moment anyway. My therapist wasn't that lucky this morning, and had to buy fishing boots on the way, because the water was too high even for the footbridge. I still have mine but I haven't used them in years.
Another highlight of the last couple of days was a long conversation I had with my hairdresser, where she ended up telling me she was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was 13, and she was terrified her 5-year-old daughter could have it too, because it made her school years a living hell. Amazingly enough, I managed to calm her down, made her realize if it's diagnosed very early it won't be a problem like it was for her, and then I even made her smile when I told her to get the Percy Jackson books for her daughter, since dislexia is one of the signs for a kid being a demigod. She was ecstatic at the idea. I'm not going to lie, I feel very pleased with myself. ^^
I'm still worried about this new train wreck LJ has cooked up for our friendslists. If they really do that, it'll have to be RSS readers for me, as that kind of layout would give me a headache in seconds. Let's cross our fingers it'll be at least optional. And infinite scrolling? Who even uses that? I turned it off the second I got a Tumblr account.
On real life news, my aunt is coming next monday/tuesday. She hasn't decided yet, but it's next week for sure, so I've been in a jubilant mood all day. ^^
