A 'meh, meh' day.

A 'meh, meh' day. 

This Friday was supposed to be a bit different, going to Ikea is not ussualy on my to do list during the Winter. There was the plan that I and two other persons were going to Ikea, the two other persons were old residents from Humanitas. But the Ikea trip has been chancelled, one of the residents has been called away, he recently works at a animal rescue. The two residents (Mark and Margaret) arrived nicely on time this morning, Mark told me that there was a chance that he could be called away. And yeah, not even ten minutes later he had a call. "I will be right back,' he told us. But no, Margaret and I waited more then two hours. Margaret took off towards Humanitas and I made lunch, oh well. I planned to buy or just look for curtains today while being at Ikea, but that has been chancelled. Not a problem, cause here in the city are aswell a few curtain stores, I took of to these stores after it stopped raining. 

The weather is surley not feeling like Winter, it's warm, 15 degrees and a bit of rain. The stores I went to had nice curtains, but I ussualy get stuck with the measures. Sure I did measured the wide and the lenght I needed, that was no problem. But the curtains in the store have all the same sizes, now I can let them made for me in the store but that's expensive. I looked around and around but couldn't decide cause of the mixed measures of the curtains, I needed 240 cm, that was kinda easy, (I think) still I wasn't sure. 
Then I needed a curtain rod but they were all to short, 280 cm was needed, the rod's were all 240 cm or shorter. I waited for a helper in the store but it was to busy, and there were no other helpers, oh well. Though I waited and looked around further and further, but after a small hour I took off. I'm searching for white cream colored curtains, I'm sure it will brighten up the rooms.

The groceries store was my next visit, it started to rain softly, but I was nearly on my way home, so that was alright. In the store it was quit busy for a friday, it was like people were following me and everytime I wanted to look to a item they jumped infront of me. So annoying, lol. One woman was calling on her cellphone, while I payed for my groceries she was still calling, ugh, what a 'meh' day. I was wet, but was glad I had the groceries inside when I arrived at home. Meatballs for dinner, geesh why was I so excited about the just bought meatballs? It was a while since I had them, these ones were ready mate, only three minutes in the microwave and done. I served beets and potatoes with it, and it was so yammy. Tomorrow the other meatball, I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, LOL! 


Prins Friso... 
The radio in the morning anounced that there will be a press conference at 12:00 (noon) of the prognosis of Prins Friso. Out of the press conference came this sad news... 


Prins Friso suffered massive brain dammage after being burried by an avalanche for approximately 20 minutes and may never regain consciousness. The Doctors indicated that after being burried in the snow, the Prince's brain was oxygen-starved, wichn resulted in a heart attack. The Prince will be moved to a private clinic for further treatment, but it may take months, even years before he awakens. It is likely that Friso may never awaken, a bleak outlook for his Wife , his kids and the entire Dutch royal Family. Friso is in a coma, a state of unconsciousness in which a person cannot be awakened with external physical or auditory stimulation. There are different levels of unconsciousness and unresponsiveness depending on how much brain function there is. Doctors did not give further details of Friso's diagnosis.

While watching this conference I had a akward feeling, it surely does something to you this sad news. It hits you no matter what, it's sad to hear this news, it such an impact.  It might take months or years if the Prince will awake, my goodness, how on earth can his Family carry this for months or years? It's so heavy for them already, will he awake? My thoughts are that I just don't know, I say... no. It will be a miracle, I can assure you. Holland prays for his health.
