Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. ~William Shakespeare.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.  ~William Shakespeare.

The weekend has started, and I'm doing so, so, I'm still feeling a bit down but there's no reason too, or is there? Maybe it's the upcomming phonebill from Saf, afraid of what's coming, I really hope for no argues again this time. I still miss the Family, sometimes I feel good and I can continue in the things I have to do, but just that sometimes there is that heavy missing feeling. The last few days it feels like it's a double missing feeling, Don't know why, just because of the phonebill message from yesterday? Maybe, or maybe it's just a moment in my proces. I will get over this 'moment,' like I always do.

I didn't do much yesterday, I spend some time with the guys here. And being outside with the coffee break, was nice cause the weather was good. Some guys here have some really naughty behaviour, in there eyes it's making fun and jokes, they like to stir up things. A few days ago I told you about the soccer match a Johannus and Frank wanted to see on my laptop, I was actually planning to say no, and said no, but in the end I said yes (meaning no though, sigh!) In the end they watched the game on TV. In the first place the Dutch tv channels didn't want to broadcast this soccer game, but the Belgium channels did broadcast it. Yay, for my laptop. 

I went with them to watch the game, cause they insist that I came aswell, oh well. We watched the game in Johannus's room. Including his wife and the 2 little kids, the youngest one was already sleeping. The second one was being naughty and slept later, sigh, I really don't like that kid's behaviour, he's very naughty and his behaviour is to be ashamed of. Anyway, we watched the game and had a few drinks. It's actually not alowed to drink alchohol, but okay. The guys here when they drink, they drink alot. Me? I'm not that a drinker, I think I had 2 glasses and that's it. Johannus and Frank always try to get me more to drink, but I'm tough and keep saying, "No." 

I just don't like it, and I wish they wouldn't drink that much either. Sometimes there behaviour is to be ashamed off aswell, or is it just me thinking as a nanny? Or maybe it's just the way I am, I'm totally the opposite to most of the guys here, and no one is gonna change that. After the match Johannus, Frank and I were talking downstairs in the big dinning room and someone else joined us, an older guy named Harry. This guy is a nice, tough, guy but he had a bit to much to drink this evening, I could tell. Harry is known as a drinker, but I never saw him drunk though, tonight for the first time I did.


I don't like drunk people, specially here at Humanitas. Harry wanted to make a few pranks, and ofcource Frank and Johannus dared him to do it, they like to stir things up. The one they wanted to pull the prank with was Rene, it's always Rene, poor guy. Rene is a guy who is a bit weird and makes mistakes all the time, he can't take good care of himself. So now and then I speak with him, he works with me at Reha aswell. Rene was out this evening, and Harry wanted to put fast-glue in his doorkey, yeah, that's funny! Not! But he did anyway, and he wanted to push the fire alarm on later in the evening. Funny? No! Rene came back while I was in my room and you could hear him cursing, Harry was wondering around in the building. Rene called the nighporter to get his door open, his key got stuck in the door and it broke off, strong stuff that fast-glue.

Frank and Johannus got a hold on Harry and told him that Rene is on his way to Harry's room (not) to insult him and accuse him for pulling this prank. Harry got mad and went to his room, and there both started to curse at each other, the nightporter came between them to calm them down, with succes! Harry went to his room, and Rene went outside to get a ladder and get in his room trough a window. Rene is on the second floor just as me. I so don't like these kinda pranks, but it's common here as I have been told many times. Oh the stories I hear here sometimes. Some pranks are okay, you have to take them lightly, but some pranks, sigh! Maybe it's just because I'm not used to this kinda jokes, pulling a prank should be fun and afterwards you laugh about it both, the one who pulled the prank and the one who got pranked. 


But the prank night wasn't over yet, the firealarm was still not on. We all went to bed, and it seemed the prank storm calmed down. I was in my room to do some last Facebooking, then all of a sudden, 11:48pm, the fire-alarm went off. I thought right away, "Harry!" I didn't even close my laptop and went calm downstairs, it's a must to go downstairs when the firealarm goes of. Everyone was gathering around in the backyard, that's a rule we have to follow. Some were complaining and some were making little jokes. Johannus and his wife had the two little kids with them, half asleep, way to go Harry! It took a while when the firetruck came and it was cold, Harry stood at the gate and Rene stood somewhere else, miles apart from each other. After 20 minutes we could go back indside, a few fire men were still inside, searching for the firealarm button what went off. 


It was a long night, and secretly I hoped that Harry gets charged with these pranks. Pushing a fire alarm  as a joke will be charged, and ofcource it will cost Humanitas a sum of money when the fire truck has to come. But I learned here that you have to shut your mouth when someone is asking you, "who did it?"  it's better to stay out of such things, don't get involved. Everyone went back to bed, and Rene had to sleep with his door unlocked. Sigh!



A few updates.

I'm still looking for a doctor,  I need to call more doctors and get more adresses. My thyroid medication is almost done, I could get them in Nijverdal like I did last time. My healt insurance will pay for them. Talking about my healt insurance, My healtinsurance is running again as you prolly know. Though I still need to pay them aswell, every month I will get a 'acceptgiro with the sum of money written on it what I have to pay. An acceptgiro is a little yellow card what makes paying easier, you fill in your autograph and your banknumber and send it to the one who sent the acceptgiro. I have two acceptgiro's what still needs to be payed, it's from the month January and Frebuary.


The summer house where I stayed for 3 weeks in the month February  still needs to be payed aswell, the owner of that house and myself are emailing each other when I can pay them. The last email they they wrote came with a friendly proposal, they want me to pay one half of the bill before 1 May, and the second half of the bill before 1 September. Sounds reasonable, my counselor and I had already a talk about the 'summer house bill' before I got there proposal. I have my monthly income now completly settled, I got already my first sum of money of the month January and February. Although Humanitas took quit a sum of money off that income, it was for my rent of the room I have here.


Next week I will prolly get another sum of money, perhaps I can already send a 100 Euro to the owners of the summer house. Or I will send it just before 1 May, like the owners propose me. Ugh! So much to do and pay! Searching for a house? I'm not in a rush, first I want to get rid of my bills, and get my money in order. Although I registered to another housing corporation, in a city where I would like to live. This city is called Enschede. Enschede is a nice place, I always called it small Amsterdam. So now all in order I'm registred in 3 cities, Almelo, Hengelo and Enschede, I can look online for houses in these cities or they will call me when they have found a house. 

The ING online banking is settled, I can look online now what's comming in and what's going. Most of the money I will get will go to the bank where Humanitas is registred, they will keep an eye on my money until most of the bills has been payed. It is there job to keep an eye on that and they will help you with your guilts and bills, and they will give you advice in what to do best. Okay Sjon! <-- My name! That's enough writting for today. Tomorrow a few updates more and I will tell how the weekend went. For now I will say, 'Au revoir!
