Day thirteen - Sorry!

I think today is Day 13, but I am not sure :(. I wanted to apologize for my absence until now. It is not like I forgot about giving at all; actually many of my thoughts the past days "rotated" around the project ^^.

I wanted to spend the days happy with my mum* and therefore, I wasn*t able to do much at the pc (Even though I think I spent wayyy too much time there anyways.)! We had a wonderful time together, and she will be home again very soon.

So, for the 14th, I have read a story to my mum* and my sister* in the evening. :) That sort of became a "daily ritual", and I *love* doing that, really! I consider this my gift for that day, and they both enjoyed the story, too ...

The next day I told my mum* I love her. I think it is not often the case that I get the opportunity to say this, and so I did. I didn*t have the feeling I gave much yesterday ... But this just had to be said and I hope she knows and remembers that I love her always.

And today, she left. I ran through the train station then with my headphones on, and turned the volume of my music up because I was scared of the other people (Today is the start of the Days of Karneval / Carnival. That day the women use to cut off men*s ties. And everybody seems to be drunk and the only reason for "celebrating" this time is to drink ... But I will not complain about this now; I just don*t like these days, and I don*t like crowds of people!) I decided to head home after I was there at the train station, because the crowds made me anxious and I didn*t know how full it would be where I *actually* wanted to go. So I waited for the train, which then arrived, entered it, found a place, and off it took.

On the train, I noticed a man who tried to speak to several people. When he turned around to me I first didn*t hear him, for the music was really loud. He then, when I turned off the mp3 player, asked me whether he could have my mobile phone for a moment; he needed to call somebody urgently. I first said that I didn*t have much money left on my mobile phone (Prepaid), but when he was disappointed, I said that I had trouble giving this mobile phone to somebody else; it would feel strange to me. Then he suggested I do a call for him, so I did. Nobody answered the phone (or better said : The answering machine did), and he explained to me that he was on the way to see the owner of a flat he wanted to move in maybe.

He said that it was a long way to the flat, so I suggested I pay the bus trip for him then. I gave him 3 Euros then, which was approximately the price (And even if not, who cares?!), and he said I was really nice. He wondered, however, whether he really looked "that poor", and my reply was rather confusing. I didn*t want to hurt his feelings, but I was honest nevertheless. I said he looked like he had a rough time recently/in the past, and he said : "Don*t we all have this from time to time? You look like you had a rough time, too." I nodded then. I somehow didn*t want to focus on that, though, and I apologized for my answer. He said it was good that I was honest, after all!

I don*t know what else to say about this ... I am also a bit distracted now (TV is switched on).
