I'm so glad that I'm a woman." (For one day)

I'm so glad that I'm a woman." (For one day) 

Last night I went out to a little town called Wierden with a couple of residents, we had a nice time. It felt akward though to dress up neat and being out again. (I'm a weak goof, LOL) I remember going out with Saf and dress up neat aswell, this eve' I putted the same shirt on what I had on the last night I went out with Saf to karaoke. I stood still for a few seconds and sighed, it felt weird and I missed for a few seconds the going out with Saf. Even when I went out with the bunch of people that eve' I had a few akward moments where I thought, "I wish I was somewhere else." There was a band playing beside the market and I thought about 'New years eve' in Barrie Canada. 

Moi!
Then there was a band playing aswell when I was with two friends from Mar, same as there was a band playing were I went tonight. It felt almost the same being there tonight. It made me sigh again for a few moments, good memories though, but missing it aswell. I so wanted to hug a few persons when I was thinking of those memories, specially Mar's friends and Saf and the kids. I saw parents with kids on there necks clapping and singing with the band, I thought, I want kids too, sigh! Hey, dear God above there, I deserve some kids and a nice wife aswell, you hear me? LOL! But hey! Don't forget I had a nice time out that eve' aswell, it was not only sighs and akward moments, I singed, clapped and had laughs, oh yeah!



This Saturday was nice aswell at Humanitas, dressing up, going out and last but not least a nice dinner. The Saturday started of with tiredness though, I felt tired and it felt akward, like something was squeezing my chest, I felt exhausted and felt I could sleep the whole day. I had two naps this morning, I think my thyroid is spilling up. I will wait for the blood results this comming Wednesday, I wont be suprised if I need stronger medication. After my naps I felt a bit better, I felt I could manage this day. At 10:00 there was the appointment with Sandra, together we searched online for houses in 'Enschede.' Enschede is a very nice city where I would like to live. 

This photo looks so Dutch!
Sandra knows Enschede cause she lives there, so it was easy for me to search for houses with her by my side. We reacted on many houses and flats, Sandra told me about the area when I saw a nice house or flat. It was nice sitting with her when she gave me alot of information, I visited Enschede alot in the past, but I only shopped there and went to the market. That's the only area's I knew from that city. Sandra and I spent only one hour with each other, tomorrow at 10:00 I will have a appointment with Paula, then we will talk about my list what I made, a list of what I all still need when I'm going to live on my own. It's needed cause I have nothing, only clothing.

After I did my grocery shopping for the whole entire week with another guy it was time to 'dress up.' Dress up as a woman, me and another guy were planning to go out as ladies. (Me and my ideas, LOL) First the other guy decided not to dress up when we were about to start, but after talking with him for a few minutes he went for it. A few residents helped me with clothing and a wig, they gave me the clothing what I needed and I started with the dressing up. Everything went well untill I saw the bra, I thought. "Oh, that's easy, just put my arms trough it and done!" But no, I had the bra upside down, I thought already, "Why is this bra so high in my neck?" The dressing up went fine after that incident, legging, bra, wig, booths, etc,etc. (See pictures) 

Harry 'HAD' a long beard!
We were all ready and decided to go trough the building, we even went downstairs to the staff, it was hilarious, we had a good time. We went outside aswell, across the building we took alot of pictures. It was pretty cold though, if the sun wasn't there it would be even colder. And with only leggings and a short shirt it felt much colder, but we had lots of laughs. It was time to go inside and get rid of the women clothing, we had enough. Only one resident wanted to goa bit further, it was Harry, Harry is a 55 year old guy and he will be leaving Humanitas within two weeks. He has been at Humanitas for 15 months, "A record," he says. He putted my 'women' clothing on and I and a few other residents went into town, it was hilarious. Some reactions on the street were nice and funny, but most people didn't even look. We didn't mind cause we had a good time, and that counted. 

Harry in style!
We all visited the market, and sat eventually on a terrace having a few drinks. Ofcource some of the people were staring but who cares, we had fun! After the terrace visit we went into a clothing store to look for some nice women clothing for Harry, ofcource it was a joke, it was the taking pictures that counted. The sun went away and we all decided to return inside, it was getting colder and colder. We prepaired a nice dinner together and we all sat down and eat. For a nice budget we had a nice meal, we had 'endive' with potatos, little pieces of bacon and a cream. Beside it we had steaks. It was a nice day, we wont do such a thing everyday, but once in the weekends would be nice. We already decided to cook together one meal every saturday afternoon.

We don't have  much money to spend, so if we all put some money together once a week we all can eat together and have a jolly good time for a small amount of money. It's not about the money alone but it's aswell to have a good time together in the weekends. We have a small group of eight people together now, ofcource there are more residents living here, but we don't see them that often. First I had my doubts with eating together, cause for example one would go to buy the meat and another one buys the veggies, ect,ect. Veggies for example is cheaper then meat, so the veggies person has to pay less then. Buying meat for 8 people? No thank you, I just can't afford that. It all went  kriss kross with the buying, I struggled with that.

The solution was to let two people buy the food (low budget) and take the reciept with them. With the reciept we can split the money over eight people. Perfect solution for upcomming Saturday, and Sunday we will do the left overs. Guess what? I had a nice full day!  I never knew that I'm so frigging tall. For tomorrow, relaxation!
