On Monday the weather suddenly improved over here and because I don’t work on Mondays I decided to go out and run some errands. My last stop was the petshop. For some reason I feel sorry for Elmo, our little bunny, because he has to spend a lot of time in his cage every day and he just seems bored. Plus whenever he’s out, he stalks Dixie the cat and in return Dixie punches him. So I thought I would have a look around at the petshop to see if there was something there that Elmo might like.
There was only one employee helping costumers at the shop, the other was busy stocking, and because the employee that was helping costumers was helping a couple picking out fish for their new aquarium, it took some time for anyone to notice me. I had put the stuff I wanted to buy on the counter and waited when all of a sudden I got really hot. And then dizzy. So I took off my coat, but it didn’t help. I started seeing black spots and I ran outside, where I crossed the street and collapsed on a bench.
When I felt a little better, I entered the building behind me, some medical center. I thought maybe they could give me some water or something. But as I entered I noticed the toilets and slipped in there, where I continued to down a couple of litres of water. I imidiatly felt a lot better.
When I returned home, I started bawling, because I was so upset with myself. I’m such a weak person and I was so scared. What if something like this happens when I have my baby with me? Will I start running then as well? And sweet little Elmo never got his corncobs or his carrot buns.
