It's been a while alright! *waves at you* Yeah it lives hehe. I haven't been keeping up with this thing at all, but today I figured I'd write something. I am home sick now for the second time, called in sick on Wednesday, figured I could go back to work on Monday, but no such luck. I am going to try that again on Thursday, first I need to get the sick out of me a little more. I have been busy with other things, like a group order on the hair forum, which has been quite a task to set up, let me tell you! It's been tricky, it almost didn't happen, but a friend talked me back into it really quickly and here it is, another group order. It's laden with rules and regulations, but my past experiences have sort of forced me. I cannot say it is bad; when someone starts to complain I can point them back to the text. The seller makes perfect sticks, made me a rough copy of a hair stick made by someone who sells them for at LEAST twice the amount, plus that his sticks just hold up my hair. Other sticks are too thin. Hey I can say now that I like them big! *chuckles* I have ordered another one, which he made after a design by yours truly, and that one is on its way to me now. Maybe it will arrive today, who knows! So, that has kept me busy on the Dutch hair forum all this time while LHC (a US site I go to, also hair forum) has been down for about a week now. I have ordered in some things from Ebay over the time, amongst which a set of measuring spoons. Oh you can get those here, but there is no indicator on them but milliliters. Yay, I can then STILL convert some recipes I have to tea and tablespoons. No, I got me this really nice set with 6 spoons and that will cover whatever I want to make. I used to have a set, but left that at the ex. News on that, he hasn't sold the house yet. It will be interesting when he does because there is some value in the house still for me. In any case, I am not on his back about it, time aplenty, if I wanted to do that I would have done so right after the divorce. Amazing that will be 7 years ago this year. I don't regret it one bit. When I think about how my life is SO hugely different now compared to back then, no I don't want to trade it in. People ask me if I would want to get married again, and I say no. I traded in the best husband I could get (honestly, he IS one of a kind) for a life, in the end, on my own. I doubt I will find someone who can measure up. Besides, I don't want my life to be hauled upside down again by someone, I kind of like the reasonable stability it is in now. I say reasonable, work still is a bit of a turmoil. I have things awaiting me as the business is reorganizing, but hopefully something will change for the better sometime BEFORE I get transferred to my home town. I don't like my home town people, and I WILL speak up when they place me at someone I don't like, believe you me! What else.. oh Dixie is still there. I put some video's on YouTube where she is playing with a bit of packaging foam. Silly animal. I do believe you can hear my voice in one of the videos, I couldn't help but tell her how silly she was. She's quite deaf now, and only responds to me when I either yell or clap my hands. I have resorted to the latter; I don't want my neighbors to think I am coo coo you know. In two weeks from now, less actually, a friend is going to be staying here for almost two weeks. He will be a showoff at a meeting we will have soon, it should be fun to see how he will handle himself in this completely sane country. At least, where US politics are concerned. For the record, I did a political compass test on the internet and Obama came rolling out of that one. Good luck to him. I hope he wins, I have had enough of the stupid Bush shit now, it's long overdue that something changes over there. So, he is coming over and staying with me, so me and my sick head (read: achoom, scrape throat, watery eyes and all) cleaned out the small bedroom and brought the junk upstairs to the attic. I CAN work but as long as I sit down every ten minutes or so. Can't quite do that at clients really. So.. the whole upstairs ended up being vacced and mopped, and is now ready to get the fold-bed moved in there. That one is still at my dad's so sometime this weekend we will move that one back here. Yeah, it has been a busy period. I must have forgotten at least something. There have been birthdays, but NO funerals though, as granddad is still alive and kicking and in good sorts (considering) and we are now actually all rooting for him to make it to his 60th wedding anniversary! Who would have thought that a few months ago. Not me! My dad is still around, no problems there. Tax time is a-coming again, so he is busy as hell this upcoming two to three months. Somewhere in that time I will have to file my own taxes for a small return that I am entitled to. Not this week though, I am not going to do that with a snotty nose and watery eyes. Well.. I guess that's it for now, I can't really think of anything else at the moment, so I will leave it at that and update when I feel like it again. *wink* |
