RJ 24/01/1989 Tuesday

I woke up and went to Martins to hand in some paperwork and meet Silvana. We got to Arpoador beach at 10:30. The only two beaches you can swim without catching a skin disease or hepatitis are Barra and Arpoador. Arpoador seemed cleaner than Barra, at least there were no dead jellyfish and the waves were enormous.

We left at 2 because I was feeling sick with hunger. Then I went to see Keyla at 6, she’s back from Araras. I adore Keyla! I got back home at 7:30.

I called Gennaro (my grandad) to ask for money for my contraceptive pill, but I said I needed money for blood tests otherwise he’d have a heart attack. Later he asked my aunt if I was behaving… My aunt told him I had gone to the doctors and he thought I might be a bit anaemic and asked for the blood tests. Talk to make grandad’s sleep! What really happened was I saw a gynaecologist and I’m going on the pill.

Gino called later saying he’ll be staying at Marcelo’s place in Rio. So he’s coming after Carnival. He didn’t even invite me to go there! What the hell, I hate him! I hope he blows up! Nothing can excuse his lack of consideration. [NOTE: maybe he’d heard all the rumours about me and Rodrigo? How am I not realising that?]
