I missed my farewell brunch.
I was supposed to go to brunch with a lot of people today, to 1221, with is a reknowned restaurant in Shanghai, because I’ll be leaving in a couple days. The problem was, I have not been sleeping lately, and could not fall asleep until nine a.m. When my alarm went off at 11:00 a.m., I felt horrible. Another problem was that I was having my period and all my sanitary napkins were missing — I think they were appropriated by a guest who was having her period too. I ended up “turning my face to the wall,” as P.G. Wodehouse would have said, turning off my cell phone, and sleeping until three. I think I would have fainted from exhaustion or something if I hadn’t. I do regret not going now, though. I will try to get there sometime Monday or Tuesday.
