Stazione Termini
Jan. 2nd, 2006 | 09:00 am
The station was scary New Year's eve..I'm usually a bit tense there anyway, what with the lines and hustle bustle of trying to find and catch trains on time, but Dec.31 was particularly bad because morons kept lighting firecrackers and their cousins-firecracker boomers. Everytime I heard them unexpectedly blast, the fear of gunfire or worse made it's way to my brain.
Seeing Rosalyn again was so great- and he was so happy to be here, that we hardly sweat discovering that while I was at the station, my car (and the other ten or so cars parked near it) had been towed away. Fortunately the tow truck people were still in the area so I asked them what I should do, who should I call, where should I go? Maybe they felt sorry for me, having ones car towed away on a pissing rainy New Year's eve is no great shake..BUT they were al remarkably friendly and kind. They gave me the address where the car had been towed, called the deposit to check that I could pay for the car with my credit card, so Ros and I took a taxi straight there, got the car back and drove home. (Ros lent me 10 euro for the fare) It was as hassle free a hassle can be. Even the taxi guy was sweet, merry, and fairly charged us. Really, having impaired visibility driving because of the rain, was the worst part.
We went to our New Year's gatherings, ate, drank and came home. Driving home was scary cause of all the drunk crazies. Drunk crazies are the scariest on roads IMHO.
Yesterday we had big lunch at Pippo's granny's. I have had big stomach aches everytime I eat lately and so I I'm going to get some antacid tablets at the Farmacy and just eat special digestive yogurt for a while..until all this holiday feasting is out of my system.
Because I didn't have many clean clothes, yesterday I wore a long wooly black skirt and black sweater and old lady black shoes with scratchy looking tights, all covered by a long black old leather coat. When Ros and I crossed the Piazza parking lot near my house leaning against a tree beside a fair sized debris pile was a city of rome broom stick. The old style city of rome broomsticks are being abandoned for the new city of rome broomsticks. The old broomsticks have bamboo handles and are made of twigs gathered togethor with rusty iron. they aren't u shaped like USA broomsticks but round- We took the old broomstick, walking down Via Fonteiana I TOTALLY had the witch look going..In one of my witchy books I learned that witches actually do use brooms..not for flying, but for sweeping energy around...SO I'm looking forward to 2006's magic and am going to bother trying to learn some cool invocations..Tidings for the New Year folks..
