"On our knees and work."

"On our knees and work."

Another exhausting day, I could almost sleep writing this post. Today was the day of the 'laminate,' and I must say, Ikea laminate isn't the best. The laminate was thin and fragile, some layers peeled  of on the end,  but okay. Most of the laminate weas fine I guess, but if I had more money I would have bought a much more expensiver one. I'm happy though that two residents helped me out, Henkie and Harie were the best ones who I could ever wished for. Henkie is calm and knows how to lay laminate, it's the same with Harrie, only he's a hard worker and that's it. We started on a nice time in the morning, after the coffee break at Humanitas we took off. First we went to the store to buy some tools. We still needed some tools to lay the laminate. Quiet expensive though, but anyway, we needed it. 

The underfloor has been layed last night.
We started out but the laying looked easier then it was. It was quit alot work, three persons was enough aswell. Henkie and Harrie were laying the laminate and I saw the laminate when it was needed. I cleaned up aswell, and opened the packages with the laminate. I never layed laminate before so I looked aswell how they did it, it wasn't that easy though. Alot of hammering and ticking was needed to get every piece in place, but when we were half way the laying went faster. The day went fast aswell, around one 'o' clock  I brought the hard workers some food and drinks, cause they deserved it. When we were half way, we decided to go further tomorrow, we were exhausted. The living room is almost done and aswell the hallway. Tommorow we finnish it and then start and end the sleeping room.
 
The living room is almost done.
It's double feelings I have about the moving, when I'm in the new house I feel comfy and I like to be there. I like the rest and I like the being on my own. But when I'm at Humanitas I have the feeling that I will miss it too, miss the residents and even the staff, damn I will miss whole Humanitas. I have been trough alot when I think back of the last 8 months. Blimey 8 months! It feels I stepped into a new life, like I have been transformed. I'm not kidding, this is not the life I lived before I met Safa, oh no! There's a huge difference, I'm glad I went trough this all, I suffered at some points but I learned from it. But most of everything I can say I had a great time, a great time in Canada and a great time at Humanitas, and that great time will not stop but continue.

Ofcource a coffee!
