"Come on Summer, make up your mind!"

"Come on Summer, make up your mind!"

We call this weather 'kwakkel-Summer' in Holland, Then it's warm, then it's cold, make up your mind Summer! I need warm weather, doesn't matter what kind. Hot, kinda hot, just a bit hot, any kinda hot but not cold. Today was rainy and alot colder then yesterday,almost 14 degrees lower. Although the rain was needed and it felt refreshing, *haaasssjjjooee* I need some sunshine. Sorry about the sneezing, I have a bit of a cold here. Yeah, I changed the tittle of my blog, I was in need of another tittle, something more uplifting. The tittle is taken from the song 'I'm amazed' by The Pixies. I love the song and yup!, I'm amazed how I'm doing so well, and I will achieve more things and will say, 'Im amazed.' I will work towards my goals and once I'm there I will say, 'I'm amazed.' I love my new tittle. 

I'm amazed that I like working the last three months, I haven't had a job in eight years. Yeah, time flies you can say, I sure wasn't ready to work the first two months being back in Holland.  But now I'm glad I work, I'm glad I wanted to work. Just doing things and having fun, rather then sitting in my small room and wait for something to happen. I did that for a few weeks, then I thought, "Yeah, I'm ready." Sure I needed the rest and adjusting first comming back, but now it feels better. Today at work was good, it rained so it made a nice day for working. I finnished two butler-tray's, as promised here are the pictures. 


Looks nice, right?

Love it! 


 It looks kinda simple to make but, oh my, it's alot of measure and puzzle work.You can take the tray of and fold the tray-holder, handy! It's usually for use in the garden, you can tell by the kind of wood. My Boss had the idea of making one, so he was puzzling ans measureing for two days, and finally it's there. I made three of them, the last one I made is the best, lol! Although my Boss is a very nice guy, he seems to give alot of instructions. Like, I was sawing a part of piece of the tray with the electric-saw, and he told me to do it this way. I preciate the advice, but sometimes he gives to much advices. In other words, "Can I do it now? Or you wanna finnish the whole tray?"  My Boss is not a handy worker, some kinda things he's good at, but mostly it's yeah, never mind. Hahaha.


After work I had a bit that 'eek,' feeling again, will Ricardo and Johannus be there waiting for me? I thought, "Oh well, let it be," and no they weren't. Only after 15 Minutes Ricardo came with his famous 3 knocks on the door, I asked him how he was what he did today. I told him I need a shower first, and then I'm making dinner, then I will rest or we 'might' do something. "Can you eat with us first and then have a shower?" Asked Ricardo. I asked him why, "cause my Dad is cooking for us and he wants you to join us." Ricardo replied. "Well, I need a shower first, and then I will have a look in the kitchen for you Dad," I told him. Ricardo kept asking what time I was ready with showering. I replied, "Ten minutes past five." And there I went to the shower, "See you then," said Ricardo. 

Karnemelk/ Buttermilk is what I dranked today at work!
I was showering and after five minutes Ricardo knocked on the shower door, (sigh and a laugh) I shouted "Come in!" And laughed, Ricardo laughed even harder, he knew I was joking! I told him to hold on I'm almost done. Geesh, what a rush, I had a bit of enough of Ricardo's rush and told him that and his Dad. Johannus told Ricardo to calm down, I didn't even had the time to get new socks, lol! Johannus had a appointment downstairs at 5:30,that's why the rush. The Dinner was okay, potatoes with red cabage. I offered to take care of Ricardo for a bit while Johannus had his appointment, that was alright. But Ricardo was being naughty so I had to sent him to his Dad, fair enough. I had a working day and I don't need the rush and naughtyness. 


I was aware that I draw the line a few times with Ricardo and Johannus, and that felt good being assertive. I don't feel much for tomorrow, tomorrow I will have the dentist, and I want to go to my healtcare company, to ask for a level higher in my dentist package. (I wrote about this)Let's see how this will go, I guess it will be a full day again. Tomorrow aswell Canada day in Canada (ofcource) Canada day means aswell Mar's Birthday, I miss seeing her, and I hope she has a great day. Gotta be a nice day, who else get's fireworks on there birthday! Enjoy Mar!!
