Buying Flowers

I went to withdraw some cash around 2:30 pm. It was Friday, and on a normal day a farmers market would be held, but it was not happening due to the Christmas season. I usually buy ginger at the market, so I had to buy it at a supermarket instead. The stationery store where I usually withdraw cash was also closed, so I could not do that there. I considered whether I should buy flowers or not because all flowers were quite expensive compared to usual. A rose was €7.99. I decided to buy it because I had to tell myself, or my brain, that there are more important things than money. I went to the bar My Way, but it was packed due to an event or something, so I visited the bar Stiefel instead. It was calm. I had grilled pork fillet and mashed potatoes with kale, which was not pre packed, but something I cooked myself. I finished watching the M1 Grand Prix. It was okay. I fell asleep around 10 pm, and I read books for a while.
