Was suchen Sie? Think of three things you need to buy. And then do the thing.

Was suchst du? Ich brauche Brot. Aspirin. Ich brauche Spaghetti. Ich brauche Tee. Apelsaft. Ich brauche Milche. Ich brauche einen Kamm. Gibt es hier eine Bäckerei? Gibt es hier eine Apotheke? Ich brauche Rinderbraten, gibt es hier eine Metzgerei? Git es hier einen Supermarkt? Ich brauche einen Kamm, gibt es hier eine Drogerie?

Was suchen Sie? Ich brauche Hänchen. Gibt es hier einen Supermarkt? Ich brauche eine Bürste. Gibt es hier eine Drogerie? Wir brauchen Erdbeeren. Gibt es hier eine Supermarkt? Ich brauche Mehl. Wir brauchen Bleistifte.

Ich brauche etwas gegen Kopfschmerzen. Geh doch in die Apotheke.
Ich brauche Brot für morgen. Wir brauchen Brot. Geh doch zum Bäcker.
Ich brauche Rinderbraten für heute Abend. geh doch zum Metzger.
Ich brauche Spaghetti, Apelsaft, Äpfel(?)- Geh doch in den Supermarkt.



Okay, doing this now before it gets too late and I decide I'm too tired to do it. While dinner cooks and then while I eat dinner. Yes. Mmm sweet and sour chicken. Yay fake-Chinese food? Or fake food in general. It's pretty junky for a home cooked meal. And yet, I want some more. Rarr.

No quiero hacer mi tarea. Quiero saber TODOS LOS LENGUAJES sin estudiar. Quiero leer un libro en francés o español sin mirar un diccionario. Pero no. Necccesito estudiar. Y no escribir mis palabras con c's addicionales. ¡Y, mira! Estoy escribiendo mi diario en español.

And that's actually really funny looking when you put it in a translator and then translate it back into English, typos aside. All right, that's my language practice for tonight, time to write. Maybe if I write I'll unsurl a bit. Or maybe I should just go to bed earlier again tonight. Even earlier. Because by the time I've gone to sleep it's later. Sigh.

Dammit. I will not surl like this. I will concentrate on my achievements. I've done my languages, all of them. The overwhelming majority of my mistakes in languages were not ones of comprehension but of going too fast, not paying attention, which is rectifiable. And it's getting easier to form sentences and things. I practiced rattling off Spanish at speed and, apart from the irritation of not having the right keys on the keyboard, it's there. Rusty, but there. I did shipping, I did customer service emails, and I did not yell at the person who lectured me for three minutes on why 'Not a problem' is not an acceptable response to 'thank you'. (In case you were wondering it's because the subconscious brain apparently does not recognize the word 'not' or 'no,', so you're just saying 'problem', 'problem,' 'problem,' and 'you're welcome' would be more polite. Or something. Cue me being self-conscious about how I spoke on the phone for the rest of the day.)

I'm coming along well on getting my writing muscles back online. I did my exercises this morning. I went for a good long walk, my posture is improving or at least my mindfulness about it is. I ate healthy. So. I'm doing well. I can be graceful, I can be charming, and I can treat myself well. No need for surling.
