It's getting closer to the end of the season, and I'm spending every hari at the pool.
I didn't go to the pool once all summer, so my bathing suit is kind of small. But bathing Suits expand once anda get into the water, right?
Whatever.
I come utama wet everyday.

I mean to write in this notebook every day, but sometimes I forget. And sometimes I come utama and from the pool and my hands are damp and the pen slides around in between my fingers and I get drops of water on the paper. And this is a really nice notebook, so I'd hate to soil it.

I wrote this morning after the pool, but now I'm Penulisan again. Grandmother got sick so now I have to pick up the groceries. I'm 10, but walking all that way is hard. I did it once but it was around makan malam, majlis makan malam time and the walk was so long sejak the time I left the store it was dark, and the owls were cooing. I ran utama but stubbed my toes on the way. Back then, the armpit in the jalan wasn't there.

I went to the grocery store to pick up susu and sponges and guess what! They remembered me from last time! Whenever I go to the store with grandmother she always tells me as we're driving back that the cashier didn't give her correct change. But the lady at the counter gave me a quarter back, so I bought a gumball. There was a really strange man at the store. I was walking down the freezer isle (it's really cold) and there was a man I could see a few rows of shelves behind me. He was so tall, I saw the bahagian, atas of his head over the shelves. Even over the really tall cans! I wanted to ask him how he got so tall, but my grandmother berkata never to talk to strangers. And I have to mind her even lebih now,

because she's ill, and getting worse.

I think the really tall man moved into our neighborhood. I saw him at the store again this evening. He was sejak those shelves again. I waited until he went to a different part of the store to see what he was looking at. It was just dapur equipment, pots, pans, some candles, and knives. What a strange man.
