Last one left, turn out the lights.

It's all supposed to be a big secret and we're not supposed to tell anyone, which means I can't even get to say goodbye.

This is becoming a daily IA:

There's a girl who gets on the train a stop after me, goes straight for the toilet and stays in there for the 40-minute duration of the train journey. I can empathise that the train is overpacked and a bit of personal space is nice, but there are days when it's not packed and she still goes straight for it. I've suffered from IBS most my life and feel more relaxed when I know there's a toilet nearby, but with her occupying it for my entire journey, it makes my anxiety even worse.  :-\\\\

I wonder if she is "fare jumping" and hiding in there to avoid being asked to show her ticket by an inspector.

My IA is that I've had middle of the night coughing fits for the past several months and don't know why.  I can only guess it's because of my dust allergies and my room probably has some hidden dust (I say hidden, because I do hoover and dust in there regularly!).  I need to empty it out and have a deep clean this weekend and take hay fever tablets to try and keep the OH from being affected by it until then, I suppose  :-\\\\

I'm very sorry to hear this! I hope there's something that you love just as much, if not more, right around the corner!
