Yesterday, my friend asked me to help him move into a new apartment. He promised it would be quick and easy, and that should’ve been my first warning sign. We spent hours carrying heavy boxes up and down the stairs because, of course, the elevator had broken down. By the time we wrapped everything up, I could barely feel my arms. He bought me dinner afterward, though, so I guess it was worth it.

Ontem, meu amigo me pediu ajuda para se mudar para um apartamento novo. Ele prometeu que seria rápido e fácil, e esse deveria ter sido meu primeiro sinal de alerta. Passamos horas carregando caixas pesadas subindo e descendo as escadas porque, é claro, o elevador tinha quebrado. Quando terminamos tudo, eu mal conseguia sentir meus braços. Mas ele me pagou o jantar depois, então acho que valeu a pena.
