A full day...
It was a full day today, and it felt good. I feel tired and exhausted from work but satisfied, it's a nice feeling. Today at Reha we made wooden planters and wooden boxes both for in the garden, we got 50 done. They looked nice, I wish I had a camera with me, I would have made some pictures. Next time I will. It's going okay with work, although you feel sometime the pressure if you get a duty to do.That is not needed, but you have to work together, and were not all the same. Sometimes it owns you the pressure, I think at Reha it's a good lesson to handle that self pressure, I need to make it easier on myself, or controle it better.No pressure!
After work I changed my clothes and got ready for the free dinner, I still had 30 minutes left, so it was all good. I walked alone today cause the other guys were having appointments elsewhere, that was a bit akward, but I knew the way. Just like yesterday, something was a bit bothering me whit dinner. Everyone who has finacial problems or is homeless is welcome for the free dinner, so aswell this gang of 5 people who lives nearly 24 hours on the street. This gang is a bit loud and seems always a bit drunk with dinner, there people from the street, what else you can expect. I heard stories lately from other people from Humanitas, that these people are scum and low life people. These people are not afraid of anyone, you really can't trust these kind. So, lately after my dinner, I take off right away, I just don't like being around this gang. Maybe one day I won't even come back for the dinner. Will see...
When I got back from the dinner, I had an appointment with my counselor here from Humanitas. Her name is Paula and she helps me with the important things I have to do, a nice girl and not afraid to talk, LOL! Sometimes she gets me confused, cause she knows how to deal with things more then I do, (It's her job, silly, don't worry!) I like it when I have things organized and tidy, so aswell my paperwork. For Paula everything was in order tonight, but not for me. You have no clue how much it all is what has to be done, sometimes my head feels like a sponge or a cheese with holes, with so many things on your head it's easy you forget sometimes things.
Some of the things what still has to be done....
I'm still working on that extra money, (I'm under minium wage) It's waiting for my bank (ING) to help me out to get the extra money. I need my last bank statements from atleas the last 3 months, I asked for them at my bank, but I/they had to do the 'change of adress' first. That will take 3 or 4 weeks the ING said. When I get everything done with ING, I can ask for 'banking online' aswell. Can't I ask for banking online now, and then print out the bank statements? No, cause there will be my old adress on the statements, and that's not what they want.
I have a bill to pay, remember the summer house I stayed in for almost a month? (40 Euro a night) The owners still need to be payed, last time the owner of the summer house called my Aunt, they asked for me. My Aunt told her to call Humanitas, The owner didn't call yet. My plan is that I am going to pay them, but not all the money at once. I need to do that in amounts every month, I'm 100% sure that the owner is willing to arrange that with me, cause last time I spoke to her we already talked about that. Then there is the dentist, I'm assured now, that's all good. Some of the bills from my last four or five appointments I payed already, but some also not. The dentist knows by now that I'm financial not so doing well at the moment, he will wait first till I get my money sorted out.
I didn't have to pay with my last dentist appointment, I still have to come back 3 times. With the last appointment I will get the final bill, and then we will see how I am going to pay that, maybe I can arrange something monthly with the dentist. (Hopefully) Then there is some sort of 'care allowence' where I can ask for.
*Care Allowance is an allowance for the cost of your insurance. The care allowance can be a part of the nominal premium for your health insurance payment.
Paula (my counselor) and I found out that I had this care allowance already a few years ago, what I totally forgot. (snort) This allowance stopped in 2010, and the question is now, who stopped it? Cause I was in Canada. I was getting this allowance while I was already in Canada, and that is not allowed. The second question is, if I ask now AGAIN for that care allowance, will they find out that I recieved that un-allowed money in Canada? I can do two things,1) just ask again for the allowance and pretend I didn't know, or 2) call and say them that I recieved un-allowed money while I was in Canada and that I would like to have a paying back arrangement with them. Paula told me to think about it for a few days...
Work! I'm working at Reha, that's a project who helps you further with a new proper job. Ahh, you know. Humanitas, Reha and Paula are thinking that it will take a little year for me to get this proper job, and I agreed with them. This time I don't want half work, I want a real proper job what really suits me well. I know that I can't work whole days with my sick thyroid, that's a fact I won't change. Otherwise I will be jobless again in no-time, and then I can start all over again. This week I had my first start and it feels good. So far so good.
After all the above is (nearly) done I can start with living on my own, meaning a house for myself. while I'm still in that working project (Reha) I can already look for some house or sign in by housing corporations, I did already a few. I'm still a 100% sure I won't come back to Nijverdal, I don't want the same ol' same ol' again. I feel I'm free where I can live, everything stands open.
And last but not least, I really need to buy an agenda or a week planner, so I can write things down. I don't want to walk around with a head like a sponge or a head like a cheese with holes. It's time to tidy and organize my paperwork. Tomorrow I will just do that! Today was a full day, it's time to relax! Night, Night!
