Man, what a day! Seriously, I’m still reeling from it. So, I wake up in my cozy little apartment on Via Roma, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I head to the café on Piazza della Libertà for my usual cappuccino. You know, the one that’s basically a hug in a mug? But guess what? They ran out of my fave almond milk! Like, how do you run out of almond milk? It’s 2023, people! So, I settle for regular milk. Ugh, my stomach’s gonna hate me later.
After that, I had a session with a client at my office on Via Torino. This guy, let’s call him Marco, walks in looking like he just got hit by a truck. Turns out, he had a fight with his girlfriend. Classic, right? I mean, who hasn’t been there? But then he starts crying. Like, full-on sobbing. I’m sitting there, trying to be all professional, but inside I’m like, “Dude, pull it together!”
Then, outta nowhere, he says he’s thinking of moving to another city. I’m like, “Bro, Caselle-Torinese is where it’s at!” I mean, we’ve got the best gelato at Gelateria La Dolce Vita, and the views from the hills are to die for! But he’s all, “Nah, I need a change.” I’m like, “Change? You mean like changing your coffee order?!”
After that emotional rollercoaster, I decide to take a walk. I stroll down Via Cavour, just trying to clear my head. And guess what? I see this street performer playing the accordion. He’s actually pretty good! I stop to listen, and suddenly I’m transported back to my childhood. I used to dance around my living room to accordion music. So, I throw a couple of euros in his hat. He winks at me, and I’m like, “Wow, I’m basically a patron of the arts now.”
But then, BAM! Outta nowhere, it starts pouring rain. I mean, like, torrential downpour. I’m soaked in seconds. I duck into a little shop on Via Garibaldi to escape. It’s a cute little place selling handmade crafts. I’m browsing, trying to dry off, when I accidentally knock over a display of ceramic cats. They go crashing down, and I’m like, “Oh no, I’m gonna get kicked out!” But the shop owner just laughs. “Don’t worry, it happens all the time!” I’m like, “Really? I’m not the first clumsy person in Caselle-Torinese?”
Finally, I make it home, drenched but somehow in a better mood. I plop down on my couch, and my phone buzzes. It’s a text from Marco. He says he’s decided to stay in Caselle-Torinese! I’m like, “YES! My pep talk worked!” I do a little happy dance in my living room.
So, yeah, that was my day. Full of ups and downs, but hey, that’s life, right? Caselle-Torinese, you crazy little town, you never fail to surprise me!
