Busy weekend, last week of work

Carefully checking the Netherland map to fix the details of our trip, I saw that on our way back, we'll pass very near Josan's hometown. She's an on-line friend with whom I'm in touch from several years now. I got to know her through an old fan site, now she's the master of this one. I really hope everything will fit in so to get to know each other personally!

And this tought brought me very far.........made me thinking about all the people I "met" online who has become my regulars.........how I came to know so different ways of living, in so many countries, lots of different realities.
So many names I check on often (someone on a daily basis).............Milica in Serbia, Ionuca in Romania,  Josan in Holland, Julia and Shadia in Germany, Shelley in Italy, Kelli in Arizona, Andy in Florida. And so many others....... Ree, Jenny, Finny, Karl, Bobbie, Alexis..............what a wonderful world there's out there!

Anyway, this weekend I will spend time with my flesh-and-blood friends, starting from tonight. So, I won't have the chance to be online till next week, the last working one! And I have to think about arranging baggages and lists of what to bring with us. Have a great time, all of you..........

Maybe Someone knows it better

Yesterday morning mom asked me to drive her and dad's brother to visit an old aunt (dad's sister) who's staying at the same nursing home dad spent some months in, last year.
Aunt Dina conditions are worsened a little (she has the same desease dad had) and so did all the others patients I saw as well. It was very painful to be back there, see again all those people who for a while shared our lives, and their families as well. Lots of them are worsened so very much, not talking or walking anymore. Some are not able anymore to feed themselves without help.
So I guess Someone above thought it for the better, I guess dad is fine now, I know I couldn't see him like this. Now I can imagine him in a better place, looking after us all.

S***

This is exactly how I feel today (and yesterday, to tell you all).

Saturday night it was really nice, for the first time in ages, we managed to get all together (the friends of a lifetime) for a pizza and some talk. We had a great time, reconnecting with each other, it was very late when we finally got home.

But we had a very bad fight, hubby and I, and now I'm really down. We don't talk, and I'd like to stay in bed under a cover, and shut down the entire world. I have my faults and he has his', and we have a very tough personality, no one wants to ask for forgiveness first...........

I'm feeling lazy these days, and I don't know why. 035.gif picture by GBarusiMaybe it's just the weather 23552pvue15uja0.gif picture by GBarusi

or maybe it's my anemia, but I just want to 600463d6w19uquwm.gif picture by GBarusior spend time with my friends 23578ax43ej9eiy.gif picture by GBarusi or thinking about  cooking soemthing new 6721zebb1yck6o.gif picture by GBarusi

The thing that really upsets me, it's I don't read as much as I used to do, my Mount To Be Read is getting bigger and bigger and every book I choose seems to be the least appealing in the world winnie_the_pooh_21.gif picture by GBarusi

I can't really stand the situation!

Happy Spring & Happy Easter

easter1.gif Springtime picture by GBarusi   It's time for some renovation, inside and out, some cleaning, on our souls as well, and new propositions. It's time to plan some new ideas for our lives, take on new projects and try new experiences. Make new friends, found again the lost old ones, and why not?......maybe renovate the wardrobe.......?

Feeling a new smell in the air I tried new recipes I found on the web, really really good, and they look good, right?

Due to my recently found sense of duty (clean the house, up to the roof) and next days fixed appointments with family and friends, I won't be online for the whole Easter weekend, so...... to all of you and your families.........

One of those days.........

You know, when nothing seems to really matter.
I started the day at 7.30am at the medical lab to have a blood test, without having breakfast, and I can't really start a day without my dose of caffeine. 467308by8yqb7e78.gif picture by GBarusi

Then, at work I have to deal with a lot of problems, all of them to be solved by friday morning, when a foreign company management will be here to check some details about a joint-venture with an italian company we are the consultants for. And I already have  very bad headache.........

I'm really tired of this job, every day more, much more................it seems that every time you fix something, something else is alredy there, needing your attention, and all your time. Since I came back at work after the flu, I'm stick to my desk all day, and this will be the same till the end of july, at least. And next month we'll start to work on saturday mornings too.

I can't stand it no more 284174kpfc9kek83.gif picture by GBarusi  I give up.
I just will wait till hubby will retire (8 years more.......) and I'll find something else to do, with less energies required and more free time for myself.

Springtime already?

spring.jpg picture by GBarusi   I usually feel this way at springtime. But the season is yet to come, so when it will really arrive, how it will effect my mood? I mean, it will be worse than I feel today? Kill me now.

I don't feel like working (and I have so many papers due).
I don't feel like reading (and this speaks out loud for those who know me).
I don't feel like cooking (something that always makes me happy).
I don't feel like watch movies (and this is strange too).

I just want to surf the net, searching for funny videos on YouTube, reading my favourite blogs, and stare outside the window, daydreaming.

Would you call all this a waste of time? With all the things I have to do, surely yes. But I can't do anything about it, it's just the way I'm feeling right now. So, any suggestions?
