"It's time."

"It's time."

It's serious time to start looking for a place for myself, not only I was thinking that but aswell Humanitas. This morning in the conversation I had with Paula, she told me that it was going very well with me, and that it's time to start looking for a house. You see, not only Humanitas is keeping an eye on me what I all do and achieve, but aswell another company. (I forgot the name) Everytime I have a appointment with Paula she sents a rapport to that company what we are doing and what we have achieved, that company was positive about how I was doing recently. There is a waiting list for people who want a room at Humanitas, if Humanitas and that company see that a resident is doing well and is acapable to manich on his own that it's time to go. That might sound a bit harsh, but it's not like that you have to pack your suitcases and that they send you on the street again.

They help you out to look for a house or in my case a room. Paula told me that the staff and that company might want to look for a room for me, Paula was against it and so was I. I'm not going to rent a room, I'm not going from my room here at Humanitas to another room. I would like to move forward, putting me in a room feels like a step back, I would like to go forward and not backwards. It's going so well, and I would like to continue with that. Paula agreed with that, and she told me that we have to get serious to work this Summer for a house. It will be tough though, cause in Almelo it's really going slow with the rent houses. I signed in three months ago, so I wont have many points. In Almelo they work with a point system when it comes to rent houses, every month you get one point,when you have enough points you might get a chance for a house. 

Some rent houses have a certain kinda amount of points, for example if there's a house for rent and that house has a rent of 124 points, it's yours when you have 124 points. And yes that will take you then 124 months, so with my three points in three months, sigh! But I can look aswell to three other cities, there's Enschede, Hengelo, and Zwolle, in all three cities I signed in. They will look for me for a house, but you can aswell look for yourself online. But, I lost my password from all three cities (me clumpsy head!) Someone sent me a mail with a virus trough my hotmail, now hotmail closed my account. In that account I had all the passwords. To solve that problem I will have to call these companies, or visit them. And that's what I'm going to do.

I had a nice sleep last night, although the warmth. But this 'cold' what I have isn becomming a pain, I dislike having a cold in the summer. I don't know what to do, be outside with this heat or stay inside. I'm always aware that I might get sicker, "Don't think about it," would my Mom have said. And she's always right, stop thinking! When I had the appointment with Paula at 11:00 I brought as a suprise two little butter breads with me, they were nice with almond paste and raisins. She liked it, and was suprised. After the appointment I had a nice sleep, when I woke up I turned around and slept again. I could have slept longer when I woke up for the second time, yeah I was tired. Maybe because of the cold, sneezing and chouging all day made me feel exhausted. 

Ricardo dropped by aswell a few times today, first time he came while I had the appointment with Paula. I hugged him and reminded him about last night that he was naughty and not listening. He went shy and putted his head down, damn! I so don't like when he does that, I melt and feel sorry for him, LOL! The second time he came while I was about to go for a nap, he comes so often sometimes. Well, I had dinner with him and just before dinner I played a bit soccer with him. He was being naughty whit the soccer game, it's sometimes no use when you talk to him about being naughty. I hope one day he gets it when someone wants to teach him well, specially his Dad ofcource.

It's a special day today, it's the 'ascension of Jesus' day today. We call it 'Hemelvaart,' we don't celebrate it that much in Holland, first there is church and then some activities. But it's sure not like it use to be like in the old days, one nice activity we do is called 'dauwtrappen.' People hop on there bikes very early in the morning and try to achieve  many kilometers. Dauw means in english 'dew,' dew you can see early in the mornig on the grass in summertime or spring. And trappen means in english kick, but let's call it peddle cause of the bikes.I use to do some 'dauwtrappen' too when I was a teenager, it was lots of fun and we peddled many kilometers, there were loads of bicycles on the road then but nowadays not so many. Is Holland becomming lazy?
