"Positive thinking evokes more energy, more initiative and more happiness."

"Positive thinking evokes more energy, more initiative and more happiness."

It seems this week has been a full week for me, and yeah it was. It took alot of energy all the flying from here to there, all the worries and nerves. Today I decided to have a 'day off,' meaning taking my head off the worries and nerves from the moving. Everything what included moving was forbidden. It started out not the way I had planned but later on it went better. 

I had a nice sleep but although the nice sleep, I just wish I could sleep a bit longer. Blame the warm nights, it makes my room to hot to sleep. There was a 'meeting' this morning at Humanitas with a few staff members and all the residents, the meeting was was about the cleaning chores in the building. The staff said there was to much mess and it's not clean, how we gonna solve that? I knew already the meeting would be a disaster, cause cleaning chores is always a problem around here, and it's always the same people who cleanb things up. I'm not afraid of cleaning, sometimes I even likedoing  it. For example when I walk to the washroom and I see it's a mess, I will clean it if I have the time and the energy for it. It's the same with the kitchen and living room in section 'green.' Chores or no chores, when I see something is dirty I will clean it, even when it's not in my section. 

The meeting was not really organized, like ussual. Cleaning here is always a subject, but it can be so easy, clean up after yourself, it takes only a few minutes and it saves a lot of work later. At the end of the meeting every resident were getting a cleaning job, I had to clean the kitchen and big livingroom in section red. I wasn't happy with it though, cause I always clean my own section, green. But anyway, I told the staff that I will do it after I did my other important stuff first. First things first, the staff was fine with it. I had other things to do first, and perhaps after that I will rest, it's needed, I planned a day off. After the meeting I took my neighbor resident with me to my house, I wanted to look at the gasmeter, cause I'm sure there isn't one. It was nice having my neighbor with me, he's a nice guy. He's the same guy who always join me when I ride to work. His name is Henki. 


When we arrived Henki told me that I have a really nice place, "This place will suit you well," he said, nice of him. Together we searched for the gasmeter, but there just was not a gasmeter, we looked everywhere. We even asked the neighbor, and he told us that in every house here there isn't a gasmeter. There is one, yes, but it's in one place. That place, automaticly measures the gas volume to the 'technical staff' of the housing corporation. (Horrible explaining, lol) In the end of the year every owner of the 'building' will get a (end) bill. (You still there?) I was kinda lost and Henkiand I  took off, Henki went back to Humanitas, I went to the housing corporation for some explaining. The same lady who I spoke with the last time was there again, I asked her, "Remember me?"  Yeah, she did remember me. I explained her about the gasmeter and she felt sorry for me. 


She called the technical staff for some further explaining, and yes, again she explained me, there isn't a gas meter, I didn't have to sign up for gas, electricity and not for water. It's all included with the rent, I asked her with a smile, "Honest?" She told me, "You heard the technical staff." It was clear for me, and I didn't want to hear a thing about it anymore. No gasmeter! LOL! The only thing I have to do is sign up for cabel television, and that's easy. I went back to Humanitas for a rest, but first lunch.Peanutbutter/honey sandwisches this time. While having lunch another neighbor knocked on my door and asked me to come with him to a huge store, they sell everything what has to do with electronics. I was eating, but I told him that after my meal I will come with him. This guy is gonna help me with the laminate, just like Henki. His name is Mark. 


When we walked to his (little) car a huge rain storm was aproaching us, wow, the sky went black. We were just on time in the car when the rain and thunder bursted loose.It was a 15 minute drive, we looked a bit around, and I saw some tv's that were not even expensive. Mark  a cable for his laptop and we took off again. When we got back I took my well deserved nap, I was exhausted. After my nap I didn't do much, only after dinner I went to a event in towwn with a few other residents. The event was a tour of bikes, with music bands later on in the evening. I didn't make it that late, I wanted to be alone for a while, a 'just me' time. I do sometimes miss that around here, just being alone for a little while. Sure it fun having people around me, I even look up for them when I feel alone. But yeah, just that sometimes alone, isn't bad either. 


Tomorrow I will brainstorm again on my moving, what is needed? What do I still have to do? Etc, etc. having a day off off the moving means also that I was out of focus, meaning I forgot what I still have to do or what I still need to do. There is so much to keep in mind and what I have to remember, it's alsmost crazy, thank god for pens and notes, lol. Mostly I write everything down, what I had done and what still need to be done, what I still need and what I already have. Writing things dowwn keeps my head empty aswell, it's all good. My worries? There becomming less.
