SwartzFahrer

Today was another lovely day. I managed to pull myself out of bed a bit earlier than yesterday. Nidhal and I went for a walk in the Seepark. The water is a lot lower than in August, but probably not much lower than in December. Flowers are blooming, the air is warm/cool, and it smells like spring. I didn't make it into the city today, but I did do some grocery shopping.

When Nidhal went to work, I watched Anastasia. I was really surprised how much I actually liked it. And then I decided to do some grocery shopping. The only problem was, uh oh, I only have €1. Can't get much food with that. So I walked around for a bit looking for an ATM. There was one, but you need a card to get to it because it was after business hours, and I didn't want to risk my only access to money (aka my ATM card) trying to get in. So I took the Straßenbahn to the next stop where there is a bunch of stores and such even though I didn't have enough money to get a ticket to ride legally. Luckily, there was no 'control'. I figured there had to be an ATM there, and sure enough, I saw a sign for one soon after getting off the Straßenbahn. But alas, it was also behind a door. An old lady was in there using it, so I assumed she had to come out sometime... and she did... and I got my money. But it was, of course, all bills and no coins. So once again, I rode illegally on the Straßenbahn. They call people who ride illegally on public transportation "Schwarzfahrer". I figured it was fitting.

Other than that, my day was nothing interesting. I had a Döner on Monday. Tonight is shot night at the bar, but Nidhal is sleeping already and I don't want to go alone. He actually has been sleeping a lot and at weird times. Today he got up around 7am (after going to sleep at 10 the night before), slept from 3 to 5:20, and then went to bed again at 10. He says he's catching up on missed sleep from before, but I think he needs to deal with it and get on a normal sleep schedule.

Tomorrow had better include some extensive shopping and browsing or else someone's gonna get it.
