Children make you want to start life over. ~Muhammad Ali.
Children make you want to start life over. ~Muhammad Ali.
This morning with the coffee break another new resident joined us at the table, I should actually say residents, cause it was a whole family. A Mother, a Father, and their two little sons. When they joined us the Father had his son on his arm (sleeping, and in pyjama) and the other son held Father's hand, it was such a nice picture. Sigh! Kids, I have a weak for them. Before I went to Canada I had that not that much, that weak feeling for kids. But once you experienced them... Oh Yeah! I think the best part of having children is to see how they grow up and your a part of that.
When I saw the Father with the kids, I was thinking back of Tasn and Ab, bless them. I miss them when I see someone holding a kid, I was so busy with arranging my life, doing this and doing that, settle this and settle that, and then you suddenly hear a kid yelling somewhere, "Daddy," or you see kids playing outside with their parents and then you stop and think back for a few minutes. Thinking of what once was, thinking how I spend time with Ab and Tasn. Going to the park, or just a walk, bringing them to bed or just having fun together on the couch watching kids cartoons. I can go on and on.
Yeah, I miss that, missing the kids, or missing that family feeling. But I'm moving on, and who knows I will see them again one day, I'm 100% sure about that. Okay, on with today, I'm not gonna tell you we had cleaning chores again this morning, and I'm not gonna tell you I vacuumed downstairs area and the upstairs kitchen, so that you know! Today I got a mail from my dentist, he told me that I wasn't insured since March 2010. But, I was the last month so busy with arranging my health insurance, I even got mail from them that I am insured.
My insurance company is called Menzis, so, for just to be sure I went to Menzis this morning to ask them what is going on, it's walking distance. The reason my dentist emailed me was because I have next Tuesday the last appointment for my root-canal treatment. They will be spending an hour on my teeth, ouch! If I'm not insured I have to bring money with me, which I don't have, yet. That's why I want to be sure if I am really insured, and when I am, insured, the dentist can arrange and settle things with Mensiz.
When I arrived at Menzis this morning they told me I was for sure insured, since 19 January. The lady from Menzis made a copy of my insurance for the dentist, I hope the problem is solved now. Tonight around 6:00 pm , me and a few other guys from here were planning to prepair a dinner for ourselves. But one of the guys, had troubles with his income, he didn't had money this weekend. Yeah, I'm not the only one here with that problem. I told them, let's do it next week, and they were okay with that.
Sigh, money, you really can't do without. They are all so carefull with their money here, and I can't blame them, were all in the same boat. It's Friday already, the weekend is coming . I have nothing planned yet, the weekends here are for enjoying yourself. There is no staff, so, there is nothing that can be arranged nor settled, the offices is closed. I will just see what happens, or what comes to my mind. I have one thing planned for sure, and that is buying one can of beer, maybe two. And I'm thinking of going to a sauna, that's been a while. I will see....
