When a man said that he smoked a cigarette for six dollars, I was blessed to think of a tampon and a sanitary napkin for one dollar. Such metaphors should be said more.

This morning, I dreamed that it was raining, but when I woke up, it was the sound of the air conditioner, and it was estimated that the sun was scorching outside the window. Only a WeChat reminder shows that a former colleague told everyone in the group: It was raining too much this morning, so don’t be in a hurry when you go to work, and you must pay attention to safety. A friend also sent a message saying that it is raining heavily in Macau now.

It turns out that it really rains somewhere, and every day we dream of rain may come true every day, not here, just there, because it will always rain.

I drank again at noon yesterday, because the last time I got drunk was also at noon, so I was a little nervous. Even after drinking, I could go to the curtain shop to get the hooks. I still felt a little dizzy, which was similar to the ferocious low blood sugar in the morning. and imposed upon me. It doesn't matter if I'm drunk, it's just that the low blood sugar comes out of nowhere. After thinking about it, I can only come to one conclusion - I haven't slept too much recently. So I slept until ten o'clock today.

When I saw the scale box for sanitary napkins and tampons in the bathroom, a magical, time-measuring idea popped into my mind: How long have I been here? is the third menstrual cycle. Just like yesterday, when a man said that he smoked a cigarette for six dollars, I was blessed to think of a tampon and a sanitary napkin for one dollar. Such metaphors should be said more.

Since the installation of the liftable clothes rack, the balcony has become much wider and tidy. The sunlight from outside seems to have been filtered automatically, and it has become much softer in an instant. I feel that it should be a good weather unexpectedly.

I fetched milk from the refrigerator, caught a glimpse of the carpet on the balcony that had been soaked innocently several times, and always suspected that it had suffered again. I also thought that the pipes of the sink and the washing machine are all installed, and that will not happen again. Looking down at the carpet again, I finally breathed a sigh of relief for it. Under the sunlight, those soft fur seemed to float up, like small animals. I have an amazing feeling that everything about us and this house is building up over time and getting closer and closer.

When we first moved in, we didn't know much about the things in this house, and people weren't home very often, and over the years it was ruled by invisible dust. In this way, Ah Chuan's nose suffers. As soon as he comes back, he has severe allergies and sneezes at any time. It took us almost a week to regain some dominance from the dust, and Chuan's allergies slowly calmed down.

The balcony is the first and last battle. We found a cloud of dust there and took the lead in removing it. But when the battlefield was finally cleaned, the balcony turned into a vast ocean, and the fluffy carpet floated on the sea, like an isolated island, whimpering silently. The reason is that the water in the washing machine is not drained out, and the balcony is carried by itself, and the consequences can be imagined.

This battle also affected the residents downstairs. The man who knocked on our door on the first day and broke in in exasperation with his upper body topless, broke into the balcony alone as soon as he suffered the disaster, and he didn't even lie down in the living room. Holding a corpse in a bookcase, he took a deep breath from the house and rushed to the balcony. When he was about to swear on his hips, he might have found that the disaster on the balcony was much more miserable than that in his home. Let's fix it quickly, the roof of his balcony is still leaking because of it.

That is, on that day, I silently squatted on the balcony and sucked the water from the ground with a rag, then screwed it into the basin, my brain was running like a snail's shell, that was the path of my thinking, and it was my current life, in the snail's shell. days in. Occasionally, only such a man will accidentally break in, because he lives next to the snail shell, and this relationship is not optional.

Because of the snail shell, those who know me are far away, and those who don't know me live next to me.

Maybe that's how snail shells work. Although some dangerous and incredible events will happen randomly, it doesn't seem to feel any danger because of this, but rather thankful for it. The world in the snail shell is running, everyone has a snail shell on their back, don't worry too much about people far away, there will be annoying neighbors knocking on the door for you.
