A cosmopolitan's short narratives.

“Welcome to the kingdom of my imagination. Welcome to the world of the unpredictable reality. I live in Florida (sometimes in Sweden). My country of birth doesn’t exist anymore (SSSR). I am writing in English and Russian about my day-to-day life and the experience of living in different countries, observation of people’s life, traveling and fashion. Welcome,” jelena717@gmail.com.

Yesterday I was depressed. Today I was bored.

Friday, I came home; I prepared my meal and went to bed. And I opened a bottle of nice Chardonnay    “Martin Ray”, I strongly recommend.

I do not know what is going this year, but among my colleagues there are six people, family members, who passed away.  Not to mention that my Yoga teacher died in a car accident, 29 year old.

I am tired. I just finished with making fresh squeezed juice. I am following the latest trend and use spinach, kale, green apples, celery, ginger, carrots, etc.  Today was a quiet day.  I ran again, at home on the treadmill. My other half left me for 3 weeks on business/pleasure travel. It is ok. I am running. I wish had a better treadmill though. My favorite is “TechnoGym.” It turned out that is the Italian brand; it is very good quality and a very stable treadmill. This brand is very popular among professional users and hotels. Even during my trip to Mexico, I was pleasantly surprised that gym at the “Paradisus” hotel was equipped with all “TechnoGym” machines. The “Smooth Fitness” treadmill that we bought last year is poorly designed, and the machine shakes all the time.

Good night. Tomorrow is another day.
