First world woes and worries

Dear diary,

I know I only come to you when I have to rant but today was truly the worst day of my life. The entire day just started on a bad note. I woke up to find that I didn't plug in my charger properly last night and so my phone wasn't charged. So, I had to resort to using my power bank to charge my phone instead, since I had to leave the house.

Apart from that, you see, I've been on this diet for the past week and I require a protein shake with my egg and milk breakfast but my maid had forgotten the protein shake today. This had to be today. I was supposed to be meeting up with a bunch of friends later and I wanted to look my best.

Anyways, I wouldn't have gotten so worked up about it if it had been any other day. But, today was the day I was supposed to go all the way from Dhanmondi 6 to Dhanmondi 27 without a car. My parents had to take the car with them, unfortunately. I don't even know the roads properly since I have always travelled by a car. I had all these concerns in my mind and that wasn't even the end of it.

 After I passed all these hurdles and met up with my friends finally, we went to this restaurant. Before we started eating I noticed that I had run out of hand sanitiser. All my friends had their ones with them and I had to walk up and go all the way to the washroom to wash my hands and when I returned I found that everyone had started eating. By that time, I had completely lost my appetite.

I returned home shortly afterwards to find that the power had gone out and our generator does not support the air conditioner. So, here I am sitting down on my bed and writing to you in this heat. I'm just waiting for this horrible day to end at this point.
