There are very curious things in life. I feel as if fate or life will play to make fun of the situations that happen to me directly. I suppose that this same feeling is valued and weighed by many other people who are dedicated to philosophize and study the different things of life, or it will only be me who takes care of that. I do not think it is the only human being that focuses in studying those curious details of life. And it is that the subject of today is given by the phrase that they give us of a bitter pill. That has to do all this with what I'm saying simply that when analyzing life and the ironies that brings us or puts us ahead, we see those bitter pills, at least I I see them. Notice for a long time I was with my plans to buy a new set of sheets that I needed a lot because the one I had was very old. And for those who do not know, for a long time the washing machine was damaged in my home and I have not been able to send it to repair because it is an expense that I can not cost. I know what the washing machine has is something simple because a long time ago it was a carelessness when I was washing. I accidentally left the cycle of draining in the washing machine for more time and as the load I had of clothes was very light, the washing machine began to vibrate with great force and this caused the hose where it drains the water to come out. This is in an internal part of the washing machine covered by the housing and requires that someone who knows how the washing machines are assembled or who knows the subject as a washing machine technician can open it and reconnect the hose again. But I am not a specialist in that and I do not want to get in as someone says out there to a witch without knowing the grass. This is a job that someone who knows the subject must do and this means that I must invest in this 20 dollars or 40 dollars to repair this that I know is a nonsense. The case is that as I do not have the work I can not wash. I could not wash the sheets no. Then to overcome all this because I simply acquired a new game of sheets. Now here comes the irony or the bitter pill of life. This game of sheets that I bought in a carelessness I bought it to an Arab that here in this country have the reputation of being good vendors of lingerie games of sheets and those things. But I really neglected myself because I saw the publication of a Canon brand of sheets and it turns out that the brand is a pirate brand because I did not notice the detail. It turns out that a brand that has double "n" is not like the original brand that has a single "n".

The irony of life comes in that when buying the sheets comes the beautiful game all new as I had required it and cheap because it cost me seven dollars. But when using it after several days I recently find that when I stop the mirror I am all blue impregnated and tanned by the sheet that began to taint.
Then now I have a double problem because I am painted blue and where I live the water does not come but once or twice a week and it arrives for a short time.
That is, I do not have time to bathe and I do not have enough containers to store water to be able to bathe because I have few containers and the containers that I have are precisely to take care of the laundry of the bathroom and prepare food.
Now what happens that as the time that the water arrives is approximately an hour it takes a long time to bathe me and if I do not collect water I run out of water to cook with the food and have the seal in the bathroom for the whole week.
Then I would have a serious problem.
I know that the solution is to buy more containers to be able to store the water but I can not do it either because I do not have the financial resources currently for that. And they know who do not know me that I have mobility problems.
Going out to buy containers means a different challenge for me. Maybe for the people who read me it is very easy to say no but I can go out or he can send another person to buy the containers and this means another challenge and another bitter pill for me because I do not like to trust people especially those who live around here who are not, let's say, of my trust.
They are people who I really do not like to treat and in general I do not like to bother anyone.
But in short, the curious thing about this is that I appeared in purple and now I am in purple painted by the sheets that fade.
And yesterday when I went out to buy food in the business that is down here the friend who sells the food told me that I looked weird that if something happened to me that was fine and I jokingly told him that I was dying. He immediately frowned and worried, he said, no, do not worry, what happens is this and this and he told me what I am telling you because because I did not bathe and such and I did not want to go into detail of everything that I am explaining to you around here because it is a problem behind the other.
And it seems to me very curious these bitter pills that life puts me like making fun of me as if it were interpreted as if I saw the things that happen to me and have fun putting me in these challenges that I am already with a particular situation with all the health problems that I have and ailments that I have in the teeth with a conduct treatment that I dropped and I have the wire of the conduct tooth there that I have not been able to fix it and that brings me consequences because over time it is in conduct and well other things that above all affect me.
Then they are ironies ironies ironies that life puts me and well this is what today is about me more than a bitter pill a call for attention to the ironies that happen to me, what things in life.

Hay cosas muy curiosas en la vida. Siento como si el destino o la vida jugaran para burlarse de las situaciones que me ocurren directamente.
Supongo que este mismo sentimiento es valorado y ponderado por muchas otras personas que se dedican a filosofar y estudiar las diferentes cosas de la vida, o será solo yo quien se ocupa de eso. No creo ser el único ser humano que se enfoca en estudiar esos curiosos detalles de la vida.
Y es que el tema de hoy viene dado por la frase que nos dicen de "una píldora amarga". Todo esto tiene que ver con lo que estoy diciendo, simplemente que al analizar la vida y las ironías que nos trae o nos pone por delante, vemos esas píldoras amargas, al menos yo las veo.
Fíjate que durante mucho tiempo estuve con mis planes de comprar un juego de sábanas nuevo que necesitaba mucho porque el que tenía estaba muy viejo. Y para quienes no lo sepan, desde hace mucho tiempo la lavadora está dañada en mi casa y no he podido mandarla a reparar porque es un gasto que no puedo costear.
Sé que lo que tiene la lavadora es algo simple, porque hace mucho tiempo fue un descuido cuando estaba lavando. Accidentalmente dejé el ciclo de desagüe de la lavadora por más tiempo y, como la carga de ropa que tenía era muy ligera, la lavadora comenzó a vibrar con gran fuerza y esto hizo que la manguera por donde drena el agua se saliera.
Esto está en una parte interna de la lavadora, cubierta por la carcasa, y requiere que alguien que sepa cómo se arman las lavadoras o que conozca del tema, como un técnico de lavadoras, pueda abrirla y reconectar la manguera de nuevo. Pero yo no soy especialista en eso y no quiero meterme, como dicen por ahí, "a bruja sin conocer el brebaje". Este es un trabajo que debe hacer alguien que conozca del tema, y eso significa que debo invertir en esto 20 o 40 dólares para reparar algo que sé que es una tontería.
El caso es que, como no tengo la lavadora, no puedo lavar. No podía lavar las sábanas, así que para superar todo esto simplemente adquirí un juego de sábanas nuevo.
Ahora aquí viene la ironía o la píldora amarga de la vida.
Este juego de sábanas que compré por descuido se lo compré a un árabe que aquí en este país tiene la reputación de ser buen vendedor de lencería, juegos de sábanas y esas cosas.
Pero realmente me descuidé porque vi la publicación de una marca de sábanas "Canon" y resulta que la marca es pirata, porque no noté el detalle: resulta que una marca que tiene doble "n" no es como la marca original, que tiene una sola "n".

La ironía de la vida viene en que, al comprar las sábanas, llega el hermoso juego, todo nuevo como lo requería, y barato porque me costó siete dólares. Pero al usarlas después de varios días, recientemente descubro que, cuando me paro frente al espejo, estoy todo azul impregnado y teñido por la sábana que comenzó a desteñir.
Entonces ahora tengo un doble problema porque estoy pintado de azul y donde vivo el agua no llega más que una o dos veces por semana, y llega por poco tiempo.
Es decir, no tengo tiempo para bañarme y no tengo suficientes recipientes para almacenar agua y poder bañarme, porque tengo pocos recipientes y los que tengo son precisamente para cuidar la ropa del baño y preparar comida.
Ahora, lo que pasa es que, como el tiempo que llega el agua es aproximadamente una hora, me toma mucho tiempo bañarme, y si no recojo agua, me quedo sin agua para cocinar la comida y tener el sello en el baño para toda la semana. Entonces tendría un problema serio.
Sé que la solución es comprar más recipientes para poder almacenar el agua, pero tampoco puedo hacerlo porque actualmente no tengo los recursos financieros para eso. Y quienes no me conocen deben saber que tengo problemas de movilidad.
Salir a comprar recipientes significa un desafío diferente para mí.
Tal vez para las personas que me leen sea muy fácil decir: "No, pero puede salir o puede enviar a otra persona a comprar los recipientes". Y esto significa otro desafío y otra píldora amarga para mí, porque no me gusta confiar en la gente, especialmente en quienes viven por aquí, que no son, digamos, de mi confianza.
Son personas con las que realmente no me gusta tratar, y en general no me gusta molestar a nadie.
Pero, en resumen, lo curioso de esto es que aparecí morado y ahora estoy pintado de morado por las sábanas que desteñían.
Y ayer, cuando salí a comprar comida en el negocio que está aquí abajo, el amigo que vende la comida me dijo que me veía raro, que si me pasaba algo, que si estaba bien. Y yo, bromeando, le dije que me estaba muriendo. Inmediatamente frunció el ceño y se preocupó, dijo: "No, no te preocupes, lo que pasa es esto y esto", y le conté lo que les estoy contando a ustedes, porque como no me bañé y tal, y no quise entrar en detalles de todo lo que les estoy explicando aquí, porque es un problema detrás de otro.
Y me parece muy curioso estas píldoras amargas que la vida me pone, como burlándose de mí, como si se interpretara como si viera las cosas que me pasan y se divirtiera poniéndome en estos desafíos.
Ya estoy con una situación particular, con todos los problemas de salud que tengo y los males que tengo en los dientes, con un tratamiento de conducto que abandoné y tengo el alambre del diente con conducto ahí, que no he podido arreglar y que me trae consecuencias porque, con el tiempo, está en conducto. Y bueno, otras cosas que, sobre todo, me afectan.
Entonces son ironías, ironías, ironías que la vida me pone. Y bueno, esto es lo que hoy se trata, más que una píldora amarga, una llamada de atención a las ironías que me suceden. ¡Qué cosas de la vida!
