"Hot, hotter, hottest!"

"Hot, hotter, hottest!"

Such a hot day today, last week it was just 15 degrees and now it's 24 degrees. Hello Dutch summer! I'm sure when it's get to hot we will have a thunderstorm and afterwards cold weather again.  But let's not think ahead, I love this weather, keep it up! I might go Thursday or Friday to Amsterdam, but I'm not sure yet. When I'm not sure yet, it's a defenitly go, LOL! Most residents here think it's weird to go by myself, well I don't. I don't mind to go alone, I will be my own boss, I can go and leave when ever I want, and I can look where ever I want. If there were peoplewho wanted to come there surely welcome to join me though. I hope the weather will be good on Thursday or Friday. I have heard that on Saturday there's a gay-pride in Amsterdam, but hmm, going there then, I don't know. 

The residents here might get the wrong idea if I will go then. I have nothing against Gay people, absolutley nothing, but some of the residents here dislike them. I shouldn't mind though to go to the gay pride because of them, it's always a good party in Amsterdam, with lots of crowds and party people. But naah, rather not, besides it will be very busy and crowded so it's better to go on a week day. With such a hot day like today I want to go outside and do something, and so I did. I planned to do some gardening in the backyard, just a bit though. I dislike Sitting in my room with such nice weather. It's such a difference when I'm not working, do I miss it? Yes and no, I like the sleeping in's and the not on time to bed's. But the having something to do's, yeah that's what I miss. 

This day has been good, I had a very nice and long nap, but waking up afterwards was a bummer, I felt weak and almost unconsciousness. I feel that lately, that tired feeling and feeling weak. I'm sure it's my thyroid, I'll have to take it easy. One of the sympthons of my sick thyroid is that sometimes my mind says go! go! go! Do something, but my body says stop! No! It's good to do something though but just do it easy, do it calm. And I can do it easy and calm. I went into town for a bit after my nap, just to sit down on a bench in the centre of the city. It's nice and sometimes funny to watch people going buy and see them flaunt. I saw one little kid (I guess he's 3 or 4 years old) walking with his Mom, he looked naughty on his face and he had his arm in a orthopedic cast. 

I was wondering what has happened to him, he didn't mind the cast I saw, infact he loved it, cause he was flaunting with it too. At 4:30 pm me and Paula were going to the shop for the dinner groceries, were about to make something with rice. I want to learn to make more meals with rice, there are so many meals to make with rice. Paula guided me around in the section "Rice flavours," chicken tonight will be it for this eve.'  I had already the rice in my room, we still needed sauce, veggies and the chicken ofcource. As desert we took cream-vla (custard) Yum! It was so easy to repair, shame on me why I never have done this before. It was nice cooking with Paula, she ated a bit more then me but that's because she's pregnant. 


"I eat aswell for my little baby," she said, LOL! It felt a tiny bit akward to cook with Paula though, even though I already knew her for many months. Many questions in my head, like, "What do I have to do?" or "Shall I do this or that?" and, "Is it okay if I do this or that"? But everything went well, I did just the things I needed to do and there were no complains, I knew what to do in the end. Just a bit that tiny bit of a anxcious feeling, I wanted to do the things right, and so I did actually.  Maybe I was a bit afraid to screw up or doing things un-right. But okay, lesson learned, I did well. Tomorrow I'm of to the dentist to fix a filling, I'm going with my bike instead of going by train, I'll be saving 6 Euro, go me! The weather is perfect for a nice bike ride tomorrow. I might take some pictures.
