Some friends asked me yesterday about my moody mood. It was only a bit, I tried hard not to get to me too much. Thinking of it from good perspective or not thinking about it at all while doing other things, made it all better. Regarding reasons, there is this main culprit.
Today's main theme is candles in general and candles as in light/warmth bringers. Do you like to light candles? I certainly am one of those who like to do it. I have those little ones at home and especially in autumn and winter I light them. Not only my room smells a bit nicer, it is also a pleasant sight to look at when the little fire dances around or the beautiful golden shadows it creates in the dark.
My mother lit 60 of her candles yesterday. I'm joking, the number 60 would be a bit... tough right. We bought two candles with number 6 and 0. I am not sure if mom would be able to blow all 60 if we were to try it out. It was more than okay. Luckily the problems with the gifts for her were also nicely solved. Dad and I bought her a big tablet computer (I stole her previous one) so she has bigger screen. She mainly uses it for games but is a lot more fun if she sees it better right? I also told her how she can read books, where to get them etc. so she might try it out. But slowly, bit by bit. One sister as I said before sent her to the seaside few months ago. Second plans to buy her a pan that works similar as oven as well. Can make pizza in it etc. if she uses it as closed. As open it can be a pan + bbq. Lovely. As for dad's stepsister and her husband, they bought her a dryer for the fruit, vegetables etc. Today we are testing it already. Pealed some apples and one persimon, cut it into slices now it will dry for about 5 hours on 55 degrees. We will see :)
"In this day and age, if I don't have a printer at home, it is like I'm missing my left arm. Sure, I don't use it every day or often but when I do, I really need it. I wish when those times come that it works properly like it should."
Well that was my problem for quite a while now. I have a printer at home but when I needed it, it didn't work. Of course the inks dried up... I think the head of it is also messy... Repair or cleaning would cost plus he served his time long enough. I had enough of spending time wondering what is wrong or why at last try it didn't even recognize the inks... That's it!
I said to mom many times that I want to buy a new one. She was usually the one against it. But now I calculated my finances and once I was sure I can, I decided to buy new one, this time laser one.
I was in theatre (remember that free ticket? :D). Me, two ex-coworkers and a woman who reads books in our library (who invited us all). It was unemployed people meeting haha We realized it when we met that we all don't have jobs. It felt nice to have this one similarity. Whole day in capital was long actually (friend bailed on me...). But it was fun as well, me, myself and I :D I bought two shoes because all old ones leaked water in... About the show, it was really funny. Mono-comedy of a woman who played 4 characters in an hour and half. She was amazing. We got the front row because of the two boys who don't see well and at the end we gave her a bouquet of flowers as a thanks. She seemed happy :)
I made two new small version of notebooks. Both have green stripped pages inside (recycling paper), pretty endpapers and again fabric wrapped covers. The green one gave me a little bit extra work because I didn't want to have only plain green covers. I played around to create something that looks a lot better.
I discovered new music that sounds inspiring and positive. May it be due to drama but, it is really nice listening to it. It is group New Empire, it lovely brightens up my long playlist I have on when I do this and that. :D It is fresh.
There is also small dedication in the song below to my friends. Big hug to all who needs it.
Next week
On Sunday, my mother turns 60 years old. Responsibility of the daughter that lives with her: what does mom need. :D It is always tough knowing what the other person needs when she has practically all she needs and it can't be something it would be practical for both of us. Me, my sisters and dad brainstormed for ideas. One of the sisters was lucky, she sent her to the seaside for a few days in the summer but she helped with ideas as well. When I asked mom if she needs something, of course that is even tougher to say, at such times nothing comes to mind. In the end we managed to find something she would like using :)
On her day, we will go have lunch in a restaurant, family gathering. Well, not all family due to bad relations. She didn't invite her mother or siblings... I think mom wants to enjoy her day and not think of the past. I told her she is doing right. I wish she has good time and if inviting them wouldn't allow that then don't invite them... They never even remember to call for her birthdays so why inviting... I'm really strict with people who don't treat nicely my loved ones... Plus there is the past... she doesn't need bad memories on her day.
On Saturday, a day before that, I have another theatre planned. It is my yearly ticket for 4 shows and first one will be played this weekend. I will meet some other ex-coworkers I haven't seen in a while and some new people I don't know yet. I'm sure it will be fun as usually :D
If not long ago, we still enjoyed walking outside in short sleeves, it has come again. The time of red noses, cold cheeks and burning ears. For me it came the time when I wake up with sore throat too so the time to be careful as well. I wear thick jacket already, bought it the other day and really enjoy in its warmth. I put fingerless gloves inside my bag in case I need them and am thinking of taking a hat with me as well but it might be too soon for that, am using hoodie for now. Mom and I wonder how I'll go through winter since I'm this cold already, sometimes my feet don't want to warm up :P And it is not even minus degrees... I plan to buy new shoes too, need something good for the winter. Something that doesn't let water in... :P
Talking about shoes, my baby Skoda will change her shooes on Saturday. She will also get her oil change and check up after a year and registration. Bye bye money :P
Did you ever laugh so hard that you wanted to stop because your mouth started to hurt? Mine did last night but I never wanted the evening or even laugh to end. Anny went out with her friends for a movie. Girl's time!!
We went to see Bridget Jones' baby. The movie was really amusing, we had a lot of fun watching it. Even before and after the movie, it was great friends time. We gotta do this more often, I think I really need it sometimes, to not care and just have fun. Or the last hour when we just sat in the car and had long talks, more serious, not anymore like we used to before.
There were many trailers for the new movies as well or we saw what else runs in the cinema. We simply started planning what else we want to see together, I hope we really do go as soon as possible :) My proposal was The girl on train because I just finished the book yesterday as well and it is a lovely psychological thriller. I wonder about the movie now. And after the book was finished? Now I'll look for Noa boat rofl some adventure. After it? It is a bit of secret ;)
Anny took a free day. Two reasons? One is to have a little bit of break from "work". I have this selfish thought that I should be away a little so they realize they need me :P Silly me. The other reason is enjoying some time on my own. Mom isn't home so I'm spending time with Max and enjoying the silence. Sometimes I really need it.
In the morning before mom left, she opened my room's door to let the kiddo inside (otherwise he would whine before my door). She put his blanket on my bed but sooner or later that wouldn't be useful, he crawled underneath my blanket and snuggled to me. Later he, after long time, curled on my lap, Anny enjoying his warmth. The days are gettiing colder, even he knows it, loving to nap under the blankets. It is lovely day, just the two of us.
Max's ears got itchy again these days. He would shake his head so wildly, I hope it isn't inflamation again. Yesterday we had a fight because of it. I wished to look at it and clean his ears in case it is dirty again. He didn't really like it but the most persistant one wins as usually, Anny :) His ears seem clean but I still washed them a bit then gave him the drops to the one that hurt the most. Today is a lot better, we will check them up later again. Mom said yesterday we won't have a dog after Max is gone. Too much worries all the time, the nails, the ears, the butt lol But I know, we love him too much and are too sensible over smallest things. Plus he is our little whiney :)
"Some things will last forever." That kind of thinking that some people will always be beside you, help you. "It will stay the same, no matter what." It is so simple to think that way and usually people notice many things when they lose what they had. Sometimes those thoughts appear out of the sudden as well. What would I do if she/he wouldn't be around?
I had this thought this week due to various reasons. One is the following. The weather got a bit colder and there it came, a mouse to the small room beside mine. I noticed her in the evening when all became more quiet. The scratching sound... I seriously dislike these sounds and wouldn't be able to sleep in peace. This scary feeling what if she comes up on my bed hihi I went and woke up mom... The first thought wasn't to limit the animal to the small room but more like someone who would help me out. It made me think. It is not like there was a seriously dangerous animal, but poor little mouse, doing no harm beside eating what she shouldn't and making sounds I don't like. Scaredy-cat me would need to gather 150% courage to act on her own. Silly.
After four years I got to see my friend from Germany again. She came to Slovenia and stayed from Thursday the 8th till Monday the 12th September. Here is as short summary of our time together :)
I read in my favorite blog today about many different lights there exist, only if you look on the bright side of everything. That friend may not have it easy again, even happy moments are interrupted... I wish her all the well as soon as possible and also good luck next week, keep your light on. Don't let the lights dim, even if that is romantic sometimes. In your case, it's a no-go, okay?
There was a girl. She was having driving lessons. She was timid and insecure. She wanted to be sure not only 2 times if all is safe to go, no she did it 3 times. Like this she stood still, checking, checking, waiting. Until the driving teacher had enough. He shut the car down, threw the keys on the top shelf towards the front glass and said: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. We can stay here all day."
First of all I'm sending yet another lovely greeting and good wishes to officially married friend. I loved all the pictures I got to see and read some good wishes to you and your hubby. Wish you all the best!
I had my work consultant this week for more or less paperwork. I applied for a new workshop which will go on in October for 6 days (together 24 hours). I don't know the exact dates yet but it still is a long time till then.
The purpose of the workshop is:
"activation and motivation to solve unemployment in a way to gain skills to find your own interests, competences, skills to find a job, communication and social skills and skills to lead your own career".
I think this will really do me good. Sounds like looking more deep inside of you with help of someone else. On my next consultant appointment which is in November I gotta bring my new CV, introduction letter and contact card that will be products of the workshop.
Yes! This girl had her first friend-trip to the sea :P I know it is late :) And we had many many fun! Which is expected right :)
As I mentioned before I went with university colleague. She also said it is the first time we went somewhere like this. We were usually bound to university time and stuff to do for it.
I am going on a whole day trip with a friend. First time we do something like this. Met her as university colleague, often went to eat together and did assignments together. After university we met few times on short coffee breaks which was previous week as well. She came up with the seaside trip idea and we go tomorrow :) Anny is driving so let's be patient and careful on the road.
Am 27 years old and first time going on a trip with a friend. I'm lame rofl. Let's have fun tomorrow because weekend will be busy with renovations again.
Ft Island's new album teaser comes out tomorrow *impatient*. :D
I mentioned it before, this weekend was fully occupied. This messy, boring, always the same room got a makeover :) I was a little late at taking the picture, it was messier than before because we were already packing my things in boxes :P We started early in the morning so we would do as much as possible so we would have less for a Sunday.
First of all I'm sending yet another lovely greeting and good wishes to officially married friend. I loved all the pictures I got to see and read some good wishes to you and your hubby. Wish you all the best!
When will I get married... *pouts*
