Excited for tomorrow, am I nuts?
Maybe I'm the only one who loves a Monday on this planet, it would have been different when I wouldn't had a job. It seems everyday at work I feel challenged, determined, I like the work I do. The last few weeks has been extremely busy, and I don't even mind. Some fellow workers has been calling it 'chaos, chaos!' But I was like, 'bring it on. Lol, I look up at the sound when the iron cart shows up with material for the mats that must be made, and smile. Tomorrow we will have to finish several orders what we couldn't have finish last week, it all have to be done before 3:00 pm. Our working day always start at 7:30 am, I say, 'bring it on!
Ofcource I will be watching my energy and my health, I'm used to it, I know what I'm able of and I know how far I can go. I'm almost like a programed robot, lol. Today, as you will probably all know I rested, Sunday = a rest day! Perhaps some ironing, and laundry, but that's it. I had two naps today, first one was a power nap, I slept more then a hour. I usually sleep for 10 or 15 minutes, not long I know, but it does it for me. The second one was a short nap, only 10 minutes. Not much to do this week when it comes to mail or house holdings, only this 'heater check up' thing, ugh, I sent the heating company a mail, I will be waiting for their answer.

Double post!
Double post!
I forgot to write a post yesterday, so here's a double. I realized I forgot it, though it was already late and I was tired and felt sleepy.
Friday!
Work went well, ofcource I was tired afterwards. I have been working hard the last few days at work, the extra half day was though but I managed it. Some of the fellow workers wanted me to stay until 4:30, lol. But no, I have to think of myself aswell, listening to my body, and it says 'Stop!' It's been enough, I cycled towards home and had a few minutes rest. I knew a visitor would show up soon, my lunch for this Friday was already made yesterday. The visitor was Ina, she wanted to have a 'chat up' with me, and that was alright. It was a nice visit, though I felt a nap coming aswell. After Ina's visit, I still had to wait until the 'heater man' would show up. He was gonna check my heater between 1p m and 5 pm. Ina left around 2:30 pm, but no heater man showed up.
I waited until 5 pm and started dinner, yup, 'he' didn't show up! I was done with this 'heater checking,' I called a few times this week already , and twice 'he' didn't show up. And now? Well, This 'check up' what they do has to be done, just to see how much I used the heater and the boiler in 2013, they check it once in two years. After the 'check up' they can make a 'nota' by the end of the year and I will have to pay. Without the 'check up' they will make a nota aswell, but they will have to evaluate what I have been used. Then the debt will probably higher, tomorrow I will send this company a mail, and I will call them on Monday. It's not my fault they didn't show up, I'm not gonna pay a penny more.
Saturday!
To go out or not, that was the question today. I still needed some items for my big trip, and I thought, it's now or never, lol. I went! After a good rest in the early morning, I took of around 11 am.with the train to Enschede. Enschede is my favourite city by far when it comes to cities near. it's only a little 20 minutes with the train. It's been a long while but I took my bicycle with me to the train station, Always afraid that my bicycle will be stolen, I always leave my cycle at home. I recently found a good spot to hide my bicycle, it's a spot behind a building near to the train station. Though when I got there I couldn't get behind the building, the gate was closed, sigh! I had to find another spot, luckily I found one.
Once in Enschede I took my time and decided not to stay that long, I still felt tired, rest was needed soon . The time I spent in Enschede was good, I had a jolly, but busy time. I scored a few summer clothing's and some gifts for Jan and her Family, can you say 'wooden shoes,? I didn't want to overload them with gifts, though coming with empty hands is not my thing, so, I bought a few simple though fun, cute items. Jan has a large Family, so I think I still need a few little gifts and then I'm done. Last but not least I did my last groceries and bought with succes US Dollars, oh my, that went fast. Not even five minutes and I had them in a nice envelope.
All settled and quit a full day, when I got home I tried to take a second nap but that didn't work, I guess I wasn't that tired then. I spend quit some money today, but it was all worth it and needed actually. I checked my bank account today and found out that the inheritance had arrived. Second thing to do was paying the notary, a small 430 bucks. Log in to my bank account was quit a struggle but I managed. I think it was Internet Explorer was being a pain, I had to log in quit a few times. When I went over to Firefox it was easier. The notary has been payed, over and done. I'm happy with the inheritance, and happy aswell that the notary has been payed. Win!!

Same as last weekend?
Same as last weekend?
Oh, my 980th post! 20 to go, then I will be on my 1000th post, blimey! I'm not sure if I will go on after my 1000th post, maybe I will or maybe I won't or maybe there will be a change in this blog. I will see. Thursday, working day! Oh yes, chaos and craziness at work, there's still no line in our work. Everyone works as hard as they can, walking and sometimes running from left to right. Mostly we have a certain line or order in our work, at our section. Step 1, step 2, step 3, and last but not least step 4.When step 4 is done, the mat is done, packed and ready to be send. Now it seems we are floating trough these steps, starting at step 1, then step 3 or maybe 4, but then we forgot step 2, then we go back to that step. Confused working, flying from left to right, up and down. But we will manage, hard work always pays out.
I thought I was a bit of a foreman, but everyone is a bit a foreman on our section, we all do it together. If person A doesn't know something, he will ask person B, if B doesn't know it either he will ask person C, etc, etc. Everyone in our section has their quality. I'm quit fast, and enthusiastic, sometimes too enthusiastic. I regret it mostly afterwards. I'm tired and I will take a good rest tonight, yup, early to bed. I will be working a extra half day tomorrow, just like last Friday. I was expecting it, so, all good. After work I will rest, and wait for the 'heater' man, lol. Out this weekend? Uhm, probably not, the weather ain't that good, and yeah, been working hard the last 3 days... relax and rest is on my schedule this weekend, though schedules can Always change.

Oh summer 2013, where art thou?
Oh summer 2013, where art thou?
It has frozen in the east of Holland this morning! Minus 8, crazy. I already asked myself why it was so called this morning in my living room, doubting aswell tp put the heater on or not. I turned it on for a little hour, it felt much better. Talking about my heater, I shall be short about it. The heater guy was suppose to show up today after 10:30 am, but he didn't. I called the heater company an they told me the wrote down the wrong adress by mistake, sigh. A new appointment has been made after some strugglings, Friday afternoon between 1 pm and 5 pm, yeah, wi'll see. I will probably working a extra half day Friday morning, so I will be home the rest of the Friday.
I had my rest today, though I feel sleepy, it's gonna be a early night for sure. I think around 9:30 I will hit the hay. A good sleep will do me good. I plan my days a bit, so I can have my rest and do the things I need to do. Such as groceries and house holdings. It ain't much, but still. I'm an expert in planning, lol, though there's mostly always coming something to mess up my planning. But that's okay, I can re-plan within a second of 5, lol. I would like to go out this Saturday, but the weather forecast is pretty bad, cold and rainy they said. Hopefully the forecast changes, as it mostly does.

Love the upcoming resting day.
Love the upcoming resting day.
Monday and Tuesday were tough at work, specially the Tuesday. Knowing I had a day of the next day, I gave a bit more today, I came home, rested, had dinner, then I took a nap. It was needed, dinner was good, a full belly makes me sleepy, lol. It's even busier then last week at work, it's easy to get disorientated then. I always (try) to do my best, but ofcource making mistakes is human, I surely learn from them. My 'sometimes' mistakes are becoming less, lol. I learned. Our foreman is still on vacation, we still have to do without him for another two weeks and a couple of days.
It's going okay without him, though our foreman was good with our orders, our work for the coming week. He knew what comes first and what comes last, he sure had a kind of a 'program' in his head, (or how you call it) at the beginning of the week. I miss that. Tomorrow I will rest mostly, there's first the breathing therapy in the morning, and afterwards a 'guy' comes to check my heaters. For the first time since three or four weeks I don't have a inheritance appointment, lol. That's done and behind me, later this week I will check my bank to see if the inheritance has arrived. When it does, I will pay the notary right away. Just to get it all done.

A cold?
A cold?
Feeling a bit of a sore troath coming up, my Mom would say, "Don't think about, otherwise it gets worse." Lol, I know, probably a cold, I'm not surprised with this colder weather. I'm wearing a sweater, cause I couldn't get warm after work. Let's see how my troath is going to be in a couple day, no worries here. Today's work you can compare with last week, loads of work and it seems the orders or only become more and more. I'm not complaining, I like the work, it's better then no work, right?
Last Saturday I got a letter from the heating company, 'they' work together with the housing corporation where I rent the house from. This heating company will send a 'guy' who will check my heating, just a yearly routine check. Though... this company made a appointment without even asking when it's possible to come to check my heater. Tomorrow between 8am and 11pm a guy shows up to check the heating, well, I can't be home then, I'm at work.
I
n the letter stood that when I couldn't be at home on those hours. I should give my house key to Family or neighbors. Well, I have no Family living close by, and giving my house key to my neighbors, no, thank you, ,lol. I don't know my neighbors that well, they don't come that often, and I don't come there. If I see them, it's probably once in two or three weeks. So, today at work I called the heating company to make a new appointment, it wasn't that a peace of cake, but AI managed.
First I called and told them that I was able on upcoming Wednesday between 8am and 11am. Though, later I realized that I have therapy on those hours, lol. So I called 'them' back, now the 'heating guy' shows up between 10:30am and 11:30am, just after my therapy. Pfeeww, and it's already so hard to call at work, it's busy and you can't hear a thing, lol. I called from out the bathroom, but still.

Getting un patient!
Getting un patient!
28 days before my trip to Atlanta/Georgia USA, those 28 days feel like 28 weeks or even months. I know, I waited so long all these other months, but still. Get on with it I say, roll on with those 28 days. I had to get used to the idea of that I will be flying again in July, the last time I flown was on the 15th of January 2010, I came back from Canada then. That's more then 3 years ago, gosh, how time flies. I never been to the US, oh, hold on! Once me and Saf had a stop between Amsterdam and Toronto, the between stop was in Philadelphia, though we weren't long in Philadelphia, the plane to Toronto waited for us.
I'm more then ready for the flight, though I still need the flying tickets ofcource, I have to wait for them for a little two weeks, then I can pick them up. Then a week later I will take off, the plane that is. This Sunday was a rainy Sunday, and lots cooler. Today I ironed, vacuumed, cooked dinner and showered, oh, and one load of laundry, oh! And I cleaned the toilet, lol. Pretty much it seemed, but it went okay, I had my rest aswell. This coming week will be busy again at work, can you guess I'm looking forward to it? Hopefully I won't have to work a extra half day on Friday, I would love to go out aswell the day after Friday.

Easy and some what calm Saturday...
Easy, and some what calm Saturday...
Should I go out or not? Was my though today for a few minutes, but naah, I needed the rest. It's been a rough week at work, upcoming week will be the same. Though I felt like going out after I did my groceries, I slept well last night and had a nice rest in the morning. After my groceries I felt good, I thought, "I probably, could have gone out this afternoon, to another city close by." Oh well, it was a good sign and it was good to know that I will be able to go out next weekend while I work a 'extra' half day on Friday. I still have a few things to and to buy before I go on a holiday overseas, I want to figure out if I can use my cellphone in the US is one of them.
Further I would like to bring a few (Dutch) gifts with me, I want to take with me a few US Dollars, always handy. I need some more Summer clothing aswell, a few T-shirts and I'm thinking of a swim short, I saw a few nice ones already this afternoon. I think next upcoming weekend will be a good time to handle all these 'things to do' of. will have to bring enough of my medication aswell, but that's a piece of cake, I'm excited, and getting a bit out of patience. Get on with it already, today it's the 22th of June, the 22th of July is the date of my flight. Within three weeks I can pick up my flight papers, I waited long enough, lol. Get on with it!

"Survived."
"Survived."
I survived this morning's shift at work, lol. Though I don't think I will do it again, I felt dizzy and a bit out of breath in the last few hours of the morning. Signs that I have to take it easy, and so I did. I felt okay further, I did what I had to do and with success. Another fellow worker complimented me and thanked me, it's a nice feeling. Next week we will be busy again, what a difference with a few weeks ago when we had to take it easy, cause otherwise we wouldn't have a thing to do. And probably again working a extra half day on Friday, hmm, well okay, but not in the morning. I need my rest aswell, I rather work a half day in the afternoon, so I can rest in the morning. It sounds a bit awkward maybe, but I worked extra half days before and Always in the afternoon, it just makes me feel better, so I can complete my shift.
I went home at 12:30 pm, did a few groceries, just the things I needed for today. Such as food for dinner and some treats for the evening. I recently discovered a cheaper way to prepair dinner, I buy stir fry veggies, they come in a bag. With that bag I can easily do two days, today's bag was filled with mushrooms, red onion, leek and parsley. I added potatoes and a meat called slavink. That's a meat dish consisting usually of ground meat, wrapped in bacon. Was yummy, tomorrow the same dish. I won't be doing that much this weekend, although I planned going ot, I won't go. The weather is terrible and I need my rest after such a full week. It's all okay. Probably going out for a coffee in jy own city, plus I need to do the second half of my groceries.

Slowly waking up...
Slowly waking up...
I was prepaired today that one of my fellow workers would come up to me and ask me if I could work tomorrow a half day, though I wasn't prepaired to work a half day starting in the morning. I worked extra hours before, always a half day on Friday's, always starting at noon. So, tomorrow I will work a half day starting in the morning, let's see how that goes. It's busy at work, the orders what had to be done this week are almost done, tomorrow it's cleaning the big mats, pack them and sent them. They wanted me in the morning cause when I would show up at noon, the orders wouldn't be finished on time, oblivious.
While writing about this I get slightly excited again, determined. I didn't feel like that when I got back from work, I got soken wet from the rain when I cycled towards home. The weather forecast forspelled thunder and rain in the afternoon today, there was a 'weather warning' aswell.Huge rain showers could fell, and they fell. The rain started around 2:30 pm, and went on none stop until 5:30 pm. It's been a while since I got so wet from the rain, lol. I didn't put on my rain suite, I though, "I'm going straight towards home, once home I will put dry clothes on."Dry clothes, took a nap, made killer sandwiches and had a was up.
You didn't went to the free dinner, as you always do on Thursday's after work? Naah, I didn't feel showing up there soken wet, plus I was tired and needed a good rest before I go to work again the next day. The free dinner on Thursday is a nice sorta 'closing the week' dinner. Nice people, socializing, good food, and then towards home with a full belly and a satisfied feeling.Plans for the weekend? If I didn't hat to work tomorrow I would have gone out upcoming Saturday, though I need my resting days aswell. Oh well, maybe I will go any way, I will see. I still need some 'items' for my trip to Atlanta.
31 days to go!! Woot, woot!!!

Warm, warmer, warmest!
Warm, warmer, warmest!
It's warm in the house, two days of extreme heat makes my villa feels like a sauna.. Yes, I can sit outside, would be fun aswell to sit outside on my balcony. Though there no chairs yet or other decorations, I should get it done. I'm thinking of low seats, cause if I would get normal outside chairs everyone could see me outside. I don't like that, though I should just not care, I know lol. I think everyone likes a bit of privacy, yes, I have houses across me in the street where I live. Or perhaps a few mosquito screens, so I can open a few windows or doors. Vans is aswell an options. There's many options, I will have a look around upcoming weekend.
I didn't watch or read the weather forecast this morning, the last weather report informed the we could break the record of getting the highest temperature ever. It was everywhere in the news, so, with that in the back of my head I went out this morning with a T-shirt and shorts. It was 9am and I was on my way to my therapy, awkward that the sky was grey and not sunny, hmm! I wanted to call the 'therapy' this morning, asking them to chancel my appointment, cause of my other inheritance appointment. I called 'therapy' but a answering machine. I'm not good with answering machines, I left a message but I wasn't happy with it.
So, I thought, let's just go there and do there the canceling. I bumped into my therapist by accident while there, perfect! I did my story and the canceling was no problem, even though it was short time canceling it. Next stop was the train station towards nijverdal, towards my inheritance appointment. On my way the sky was getting greyer and greyer, breaking the record of highest temperature? For that you need sun, right? I looked like it was about to thunder and rain, and so it did when I arrived in Nijverdal, wow! I totally didn't expect that.
My Uncle who came with me to the appointment told me aswell that the weather reports were telling about the rain and thunder. The rain and the grey sky didn't last that long though, later in the afternoon the sun came out again plus the tropical warm temperatures. The inheritance appointment went fine this morning, me and my Uncle went to my Dad's insurance agency and there they made a copy of the 'certificate of inheritance,'what has been made by the notary and and arrived on my address on Saturday. With all the other copies plus the certificate the insurance agency can work things out and finish it, within a few weeks I will get my inheritance. Finally.

"All or nothing!"
"All or nothing!"
It's to warm, I know, I really don't wanna complain but, really? 32 celcius! It's okay when the tempature slowly build ups, but we went from 22 C. last Sunday to 32 celcius to day. Tomorrow will be even warmer. Followed (ofcource) by thunder and rain, Friday we will hit the 19 celcius again. Today at work is was warm and hot aswell, though outside was warmer. The last days I have a bit more energy then I'm usually have, I love Summer, the warmth and sunshine gives me a bit more energy. Last night I didn't sleep so well, I think I slept for only four hours. I know, it's not enough, but I went trough this working day just like normal, easy! Tonight I will sleep better, though it's gonna be a warm night.
We have so much work the last few weeks, it's almost insane. People come from the office to ask me if some orders are already done or they come with a so called 'speeding' order. I or someone else at our section have to decide if the speeding order can be done thaty quickly together with the other orders what has to be done aswell. Sometimes I have to dissapoint them, cause the amount of work is just to much. They asked me today aswell if I could work another half day on Friday's, it's only for two weeks they told me. It's fine with me. It's busy, much bussier then let's say two weeks ago, I'm glad I can help out. Tomorrow a resting day, I'm looking forward to it. First off in the morning the inheritance appointment.

Summer's here!
Summer's here!
Yep, Summer has finally arrived, though it's the Dutch Summer. Meaning: It's all or nothing. It was nice and cool this morning, such a good and comfy feeling riding towards work. Last night was kinda warm aswell, yes, I still sleep with a blanket, lol. Though it's a thin on, I have in total three blankets, and a few sprays. Tomorrow will be warm aswell, and upcoming Wednesday we will hit a record according the our weather forecast, 38 degrees Celsius!! Woot, woot! Like I said, it's all or nothing in Holland when it comes to weather. After Wednesday we will get thunders and perhaps followed by rain. Cooler days afterwards. I love the warm weather tough, hot or warm, it's all fine with me. I guess we all waited for Summer, let is last for a long while.
Last Saturday I received finally what I need for the inheritance from my Dad, the letter from the notary. I handed in the information and the times the notary needed last Wednesday. With those items and information they could make a 'certificate of inheritance.' With that certificate I can go to Dad's insurance and handle thing further of. In all, I must say the notary didn't take that long, only the needed information took a bit long. This coming Wednesday I will once again go to my Dad's insurance with my Uncle, think it's the third time now. I will have to be there around 10:30 am, that means I will have to skip the breathing therapy. Let's see how I'm gonna solve that, probably a call and it'll be fine.

Fathers day!
Fathers day!
Before my Father passed away, we as a Family didn't do that much with Father's day, or Mother's day. As a child I wouldn't find it fair either, lol, I mostly mentioned to my parents that they have double birthdays and I don't. There should have been a child day aswell, lol. Later when I grew up I realized that Father's day and Mother's day is about appreciation. Appreciate for what your Father or Mother do. Still as a Family we didn't celebrate those special parent days that much, birthday's were more special.
Today with Father's I stood still for a few hours thinking and remembering my Dad, life and time passes by so fast. We sometimes don't even realize what we have been trough, in the years, months and sometimes days. I was reading posts back on FB, posts from the time when my Dad passed away, it was like I was throwed back at that time while reading it, re feeling the thoughts, sadness, and the carings. It was quit a impact that week from 30 January until 7 February, when Dad got sick, and within three or four days passed away.
And then the funeral... I stood trough it, firm, calm but sad aswell, with many thoughts, though aswell memories. You know, although my Dad passed away, for me he's not gone. Yeah, he's gone, I can't see him, visit him nor touch him, etc, etc. Though in my eyes he's above looking down on me, guiding me in some sort of way. No, I'm not nuts, for me it's reality in a way, it calms me aswell. The good things I achieved recently I can probably thank my Dad for, he's my guiding angel in some sort of way...
Together with my Mom. They make a good team together.I don't have to worry about a thing anymore, it's all good. And as a last thing, I want to make them proud aswell, I'm ready to make a blast, the best is yet to come!

Picture time!
Picture time!
It's been a while, so let's throw in some pictures. Weekends are the days I will be out or stay in, when I stay in I take my time doing my groceries. No rush, I might even split my groceries in two parts and do them in two days. Just like I did this weekend, yesterday I did the first part of the groceries, today the second part. I enjoy it when I have time on my own to do groceries, today I decided to cycle to another village to do groceries there. I went to Wierden, a village only a little 3 km from my city. Wierden is a village I lived when I was still a young kid, Wierden is aswell a village where my Mom grew up. Here are some pics...
Normally I take the shortest route to Wierden, but then I would arrive in 10 minutes. And that was not my plan, I went from Almelo to Aadorp, and from Aadorp to Wierden.
Aadorp is a village on the northern side of Almelo, Aadorp is situated around the small canal Almelo-De Haandrik, which connects it to Vriezenveen on the northern side and to Almelo on the southern side. A train track leads right next to this canal and also heads from Almelo to Vriezenveen.
I was looking for this pond, but couldn't find it first, this pond is just between Aadorp and Wierden. I use to come here as a kid.
There's ofcource lots been changed here, I'm older now, lol. But was fun seeing this pond back.
My bicycle awaits me, time to head to Wierden, to do my last part of my groceries.
My first ice-scream of this year, Magnum Almond, the best ice there is. I bought one in Wierden.
After my groceries I rided home, I took the shortest cut. within 10 minutes I got home. On my way I always pass this little field with a few horses.
Finally I got her looking, this was the second horse, a quit bigger horse as you can see.
The supermarket in Wierden was a bit of a struggle, a new store so finding the items I needed was a struggle. But I succeeded, though I won't come back here again. They didn't have as much as the store as I use to go, plus they were expensive with most items. I even forgot a few items, when I got home I had to go to another store near to buy those items. When I got home after that I still forgot wash powder, lol! I didn't went back, the wash can wait. It was time for a nap and time to relax.

Getting closer and closer.
Getting closer and closer.
Yup, I'm getting closer and closer to the trip to Atlanta/ Georgia. I'm calmer about it and excited. My thoughts are, "Get on with it, I wanna start!" LOL. Start with things I need for this trip, starting with preparing myself for the trip. Upcoming week I will get a start with the preparing, upcoming Wednesday it will be almost a month before my flight. So that's a perfect start for the preparing. Preparing? Yes, writing down what I need, and what I have to do, perhaps a few gifts I will buy, I will have to get a few American Dollars aswell, (always handy) and... etc, etc. I'm not worried, let's get this started! I have no expectations what so ever, I will let it all come over me and let it all surprise me. I'm sure it will be a great adventure that I will NEVER forget.
A few people I know told me already recently that it's a pity to go for 9 days only, I know it's short but it's not that short. I have been in Paris, Berlin and London aswell for 8 or 9 days. With that in the back of my head in January I decided to book the trip for 9 days. The person where I'm staying at (Jan) told me recently that she wished I stayed longer then 9 days, 'two weeks would be good,' she told me. Well, I booked already the trip. I tried to change the days but that wasn't possible. Oh well, it will be good. Once I'm on my way my vacation trip begins. Meaning: Once I close and lock my front door and when I'll be on my way to the train station my adventure begins, once I close my front door the enjoying begins.
Today is been a bit of a lazy day, I rested and did some groceries. I went for a short coffee visit aswell at Janine's house. It's been a while since I been there, so I figured, I go there today. She's never been at my place, but that's okay. I asked her many times, but..... ah, it's good to have a few people where I can go to for a visit, or where I can share my story or fun or whatever, lol. It's good to be out. This morning I waited aswell for a message, a message from a fellow worker. I asked him yesterday, that if they were to busy that they could message me. But the message didn't come. We had so much work this week, that it was almost not possible to get it all done.

Thank God it's almost Friday!
Thank God it's almost Friday!
It's been quit the week when it comes to work, our section didn't manage to finish this week orders. We could have, but we came material and tools to short. They had to be ordered, and yeah, ordering takes some time. We did our best, I was exhausted after each work day, but it was well worth it. It was fun to help out, the days flew by. Probably I will work tomorrow a half day, though still not sure.There's still lots of work to do.
They didn't ask me to work tomorrow a half day, but when I got home I figured, 'oh well, I can manage one more half day. I asked one of the fellow workers on Facebook trough a message if he could need me tomorrow for a half day. He responded by saying that he will keep it in mind. So, maybe tomorrow in the morning I will get a message back. It's all good with me. Like I said, I like to help out and showing "that" is aswell a good thing.
No further plans for the weekend, it rained for the first time today after a few weeks. It cooled down, next week it will get warmer again. Sweating at work the whole day made me cold this evening, lol. I'm writing this post with a thin sweater on and long pants, last few days I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Talking about t-shirts, I still need a few. yeah, I have grown, lol. Some t-shirts I own don't fit me no more. Shame though, they were from Wal-Mart, good memories.

Second inheritance appointment.
Second inheritance appointment.
It was my second appointment for the inheritance this morning, and there will be a third appointment. Poor me and poor Uncle, lol. We weren't even 10 minutes at the notary, we knew we had to bring in some items so that they could copy it. But we didn't know that 'that' was it, we handed in the paper items, the secretary made the copies and told us that the notary will handle this further now that he has all the information complete. I will as soon as possible hear from them trough a letter, probably by the end of the week. I could have known this but I didn't think further. The whole train trip lastet longer then the notary visit. Another train trip, another 5 bucks, the good news is I'm done with the notary. (hopefully) When I receive the final letter from the notary, I can go to Dad's insurances agency with 'that' final letter and then...
Hopefully, finally... the inheritance. I think by the end of the week I will have everything done. I never dealed with a inheritance, never witnessed it, so , I will just see. This morning was quit full. First of the breathing therapy, the therapist worked on my shoulders today, ouch, that was painfull. Now, my plan was actually to go back home after therapy and rest a bit, and then of to the train station. My therapy ended at 10:15, my train will leave at 11:30. So, in between I would have a 75 min break. It takes me 10 minutes to ride from therapy to my villa, and it takes me 20 minutes to walk to the train station. Hmm, that means I still can have a 45 min rest. Yeah, that's not much. I decided differently, it's my resting day and I surely didn't feel like walking for 20 min to the station and then aswell 20 min back towards home.
Hey, it's my resting day, lol. I went for a coffee after the therapy at the Hema, (store) and then went to the train station. Note: I truly dislike to put my bicycle at the train station, there are several thief's there who steal bikes. I think this was my first time ever to take my bicycle to the station after a long, long time. Though I hided my bike well, not at the station but somewhere safe behind a store close to the station. After I got back from the appointment I had to remind myself quit often to not forget my bike, lol. I'm used to walk home after a train trip. Thankfully my bike was still there and locked. Do, I won't do it again. Next appointment? I will walk or I will cycle to the appointment.
It was my second appointment for the inheritance this morning, and there will be a third appointment. Poor me and poor Uncle, lol. We weren't even 10 minutes at the notary, we knew we had to bring in some items so that they could copy it. But we didn't know that 'that' was it, we handed in the paper items, the secretary made the copies and told us that the notary will handle this further now that he has all the information complete. I will as soon as possible hear from them trough a letter, probably by the end of the week. I could have known this but I didn't think further. The whole train trip lastet longer then the notary visit. Another train trip, another 5 bucks, the good news is I'm done with the notary. (hopefully) When I receive the final letter from the notary, I can go to Dad's insurances agency with 'that' final letter and then...
Hopefully, finally... the inheritance. I think by the end of the week I will have everything done. I never dealed with a inheritance, never witnessed it, so , I will just see. This morning was quit full. First of the breathing therapy, the therapist worked on my shoulders today, ouch, that was painfull. Now, my plan was actually to go back home after therapy and rest a bit, and then of to the train station. My therapy ended at 10:15, my train will leave at 11:30. So, in between I would have a 75 min break. It takes me 10 minutes to ride from therapy to my villa, and it takes me 20 minutes to walk to the train station. Hmm, that means I still can have a 45 min rest. Yeah, that's not much.

Well exhausted, but satisfied.
Well exhausted, but satisfied.
Pretty well exhausted after work today, but I knew that tomorrow would be a resting day. So, today I gave just like yesterday a 100%, maybe just a bit more. I was surprised about the many orders we received this Tuesday, and what actually has to be finished later this week. Last week and the weeks therefore it was calm and quiet with the orders, and now when our foreman is on a holiday the orders come. I'm not complaining though, keeping work is good, good for the company and good for us workers. It's just a bit awkward, lol. All of us on our section did a good job, we worked well together. Though it's just a bit different now when our foreman is on a holiday.
Everyone of us does something and does it well. We finish it and go to the next thing, There's no actual line (or how you say it) in the work we did the last few days. without having that 'line' in it. Although that, we managed today alot, we finished the things we wanted to be done, well, kind of. We can be proud on ourselves, we don't actually feel there's a foreman, we all do it together. Tomorrow I will be off as you all know, a resting day as I call it. There's still alot to be done, but I'm sure we will manage. Like I said, we managed already alot today. Tomorrow early although my resting day. Breathing therapy first, then a little short rest and then of to finish the heritance, I'm getting there.

"Second foreman!"
"Second foreman!"
Today was my first day as a foreman, well, actually I was kind of a foreman together with another fellow worker. That fellow worker knows his job too, he's been working just a bit longer there then me. He's from Bosnia, he speaks and understands Dutch, though not so well. He's a nice and down to earth guy and a hard worker. Two foreman working well together, what he doesn't know, I know, and what I don't know, he knows. I'm glad he's around, I couldn't do it alone. Today was quit busy, with many orders and some orders what really had to be done today or tomorrow.
Gosh, I was excited this morning, excited to go to work and do my job as a foreman. Showing my skills and work together as a team, today went well, we succeed the things what had to be done. Tomorrow another day, this will go on for four weeks, then our foreman will come back from his holiday. This working day went pretty fast aswell, it sure wasn't that easy, I can only have respect for my foreman. As a foreman you'll have to get the orders done in a certain kinda order, this order first, then that order and then that order, etc, etc. In the meantime you have to get your fellow workers to work.
Meaning, when they are done with the given work, you'll have to get other work for them. (Oh my English explaining, lol) Sometimes, (read: mostly) a secretary comes from the office with another order what really, really has to be done today or the next day, a rush order. You will have to decide then if that rush order can be done today or the next day. Like I said, today went well, I'm not worried for the following four weeks. I love it, I feel like it's a challenge. 'Dare me,' lol! I learn from this aswell, it's good for me, oh and this day flew by like a rocket. Fun day, roll on Tuesday.

Heritance, finally this week.
Heritance, finally this week.
I got my 'heritance' letter, it arrived yesterday. I red it and it's quit simple to read and to understand. The letter came from the notary. Last Wednesday I went to the insurance company from my Dad, I had a appointment there cause they settled the heritance from my Dad. Arrived there they told me that I really needed notary, to make it all officially. At the nearest notary agency they helped me out good, the notary would send me a letter that I'll have to read and probably will have to sign with my next visit to the notary. I'll have to bring a few things aswell, the certificate of heritance, a marriage certificate and a death certificate.
Quit a few things but it's all taking care off, most of the needed things I can pick up at my Aunt and Uncle's place. Upcoming Wednesday, if all goes good, I will visit the notary once again. I don't have to make a appointment, just hop in, deliver the needed things and sign. The I'm done and the heritance is mine. I'm glad it's all over then, my Uncle will come with me. Long and full week ahead, love it though. Tomorrow's work will be slightly different too, our foreman is on a holiday for four weeks. I guess I will have to fill in his space, yay!
Note to myself: I will do extra my best, actually looking forward to it. Today was a nice day aswell, rested and did a few house holdings. Dusted, one load of laundry and vacuumed. After dinner I went for a little walk, the weather was nice so I thought, why not? On my way back I bought a cornetto an sat in the sun for a little 10 minutes. It's the little things that does it, right? Life is good, and I'm getting pretty excited about the major trip to the US! 43 days to go! Woot! Roll on June!

Just a bit cooler today...
Just a bit cooler today...
I didn't expect the cooler weather this Saturday, so, there I went in my shorts and t-shirt, lol. Woohoo, cold wind I thought, and it didn't get any warmer. I was on my way to the bank, last week I was about to pay the last part of my debt of the 'housing benefit.' But the cheque returned cause I made a writing mistake, lol, sigh! The bank helped me out friendly, thank God they were open this Saturday for a while. Problem solved. This day you could compare a bit with yesterday, I rested in the morning, and went out to do things in the afternoon.
After the bank visit I went to the forest, just like yesterday. Though In didn't stay long, it was just to windy and cooler. I continued my plan for this afternoon and went to the second hand store, I didn't went there for a long time. It's a huge place and always fun to look around. Two months ago I brought alot of stuff there, just some of Dad's belongings. It was quit alot, but funny enough I didn't see much of Dad's items back. Only the doll I recognized, sigh. It was awkward to see the doll back.
I scored two decent jeans at the second hand store, they were 5 Euro each, woot! I needed a few pants for work, that's been solved now too. After the second hand store I did my groceries and returned home. A nap was needed. The warmth from the last two days can be exhausting, I guess I need to get use to the warmth, though I'm not complaining. I'm loving the Summer, everyone seems nicer and happier. Tomorrow will be cooler aswell, that's okay, it's Sunday rest day anyway.

Unexpected productive day.
Unexpected productive day.
It's quit warm this evening in the house, and it's only been warm for two days. I really gotta air some more, open a few windows or doors in the evening. Though mosquito's and other insects might come flying or crawling in, or even mice or rats. I have seen a rat here once, not in my house though (thank god) but in the shed downstairs, it was huge. So, if I open a window or door, it won't be that long or wide open, lol. About mosquito's, I have been bitten today once, I rided my bike trough town towards the forest this afternoon. The weather was so nice, I really had to get out and sniff some sunshine. We have two forests here, Nijrees and Graven Allee, the last one is my favorite, in that forest I have been bitten, lol. I sat on a bench resting and there the mosquito came, ouch! Mosquito's in June? I thought they only come in late Summer.
Yeah, it was quit a productive day this Friday, unexpected really. Blame the warm weather, I mostly get a energy boost then. This morning I went to check my balcony, just checking if I can do something with it. Perhaps a few plants or outside chairs. First thing I saw was that my balcony could really us a cleaning. The windows were dirty and the floor could use some sweeping, I started right away. I couldn't turn around and leave it like that. I sweeped the floor and washed the windows plus railing, the water afterwards was black. Thank god I cleaned it, I took a nap afterwards. When I woke up and got up I saw a few guys trough my front window walking with a ladder, I could see they were from a cleaning company, cleaning windows. There were about to leave. I saw their van and I wrote down quicly the phone number. Then I rushed downstairs to ask them something.
I was on time and I asked if they could do my front window aswell, I pointed to the window with the bird poo on it, lol. That window really could use a clean up. though it's such a struggle and hard work to clean it. I don't own a ladder, and without a ladder it's almost not to do. The guy told me to ask their boss, I asked and it was fine, though it costed me 6 Euro. While one of the guys cleaned my window I rushed to the nearest bank machine, cause I didn't had the 6 bucks on me. When I got back the guy was nearly done, I payed the boss and told them I was happy with the cleaning. These cleaners were Turkish, so, they didn't talk or understood that much Dutch. But oh well, I was happy 'that' that window was clean. Yup, a nice day, thanks to the gorgeous weather, tomorrow another Sjon-shiny day!

Finally Summer?
Finally Summer?
The temperatures went way up the last few days, I love it, it gives me a boost of energy. Had a lovely day at work aswell, there weren't that many workers today, A few had a day off, I can't blame them with this great weather. The temperature went up until 26 C. degrees. Just a few clouds, but mostly sunshine. I really love it, I hope it lasts. Today was aswell the last working day for our foreman, he's going on vacation for four weeks.
Now, who will lead our section now? They told it was me, but I don't fall for that, lol. I think we can manage our selves pretty well without our foreman. When I have a question or I can't keep up with something, I can always ask for help. There are several options. I'm sure some workers in our section will come to me aswell when they have questions. Together we will manage these four weeks, I'm actually looking forward to it.
Plans for the weekend? Nope, I will let these days just come over me, I won't go out I guess, at least not far away. The weather is good, so that's a plus point. I could go out for a long bike ride, that's a idea. I will check tomorrow aswell for my received heritance letter, it will probably be there. For now, I think it will be a warm sweaty night, I showered, cleaned my sheets, it's all good.

Inheritance!
Inheritance!
The heritance appointment went fine, though I was getting alot of information, and that made it a bit confusing and hard to understand. Only my Uncle went with me, my Aunt was sick. Gosh, my Aunt and Uncle are so kind and do as much as they can for me, it's almost unreal, I'm almost feeling guilty about it, lol. Sometimes you hear that a heritance can bring alot of argues or hisfits in families, but it seems my Aunt and Uncle really want that I get this heritance. Anyway, first we went to the actual place where the appointment was, the insurance company from my Dad. These people sent me aswell the heritance appointment invitation. In the invitation stood all the information I needed plus a few things I needed to do, make a copy of my bank card plus my passport, and I needed a certificate of inheritance,
At the insurance they told me that a notary was really needed, first I hoped I could do without.
A notary cost alot money, but okay, when it's needed, it's needed. The insurance company told me that a notary is here near by, so from the insurance we went there. Still a bit confused, but the lady from the insurance told me not to worry, "The heritance will be yours, cause you have the right on it." My Dad had no testament, so the money will go straight to the inheritor.The money for the funeral has been paid, or will be paid. My Dad has a good life insurance, 'they' will take care of it, according to my Uncle. Perhaps a few debts (taxes) from my Dad has to be paid aswell, or has been paid. My Uncle and I were quit calm about this all. Specially my Uncle, cause he's the one who took care of all Dad's mail, debts, insurances, etc, etc. And when my Uncle is calm about it, I should be too. still it all gives a double feeling, feeling a bit guilty that I take Dad's money, though I really could use the money aswell.
I think those feelings makes the heritance confusing and difficult to understand. It's quit simple, I know, but still. We weren't that long at the notary, we did our story and the notary heared it all and took our information and wrote it down. Though we missed a few things to make it all officially. The notary still needed the certificate of heritance, and a marriage certificate from my Mom and Dad. The notary told me that he will sent me a mail later in the week, I will have to read it, fill it in and bring the two certificates I forgot today. On my next visit to the notary, (probably next week) I can just visit the notary without a appointment, show the filled in papers what I recieved from them, plus the certificates and that's it. Sounds pretty easy right? Ugh, I wish it was all behind me... I don't know what still has to be payed, or has been payed from my Dad's passed.

Appointment tomorrow!
Appointment tomorrow!
The 'heritance' appointment is tomorrow, I'm looking forward to it. I didn't look forward to it first, Wednesday is a resting day, after giving a 100% at work on Monday and Tuesday I need a good rest on Wednesday. But, oh well, the appointment is around 11:00 am, it's all good. Taking the train from 10:30 am, and arriving at 11:45 in Nijverdal. From there my Aunt and Uncle will pick me up and we will drive to our appointment. I will take with me the 'wanted' copies and the appointment invite. piece of cake. I'm thinking of (if the 'heritance' goes well) to give my Aunt and Uncle a little part of the heritance. I know it's not always been good to the both of us, disagreeing, argues and a few his fits, but forgive and forget. I must admit, they did alot for my Dad. I didn't always agree with them and didn't always like the way they handled things, but I'm thank full too. I think it's a nice gesture from me to them.
The two days of work were exhausting much, I just have given to much, once again. Last night I though, 'How on earth will I come to the second day of work?' But I managed, here and there a few tough times, with feeling pressure on my chest, and dizziness, but okay. It's resting time now, Next week will be different. Next week my foreman goes on a holiday, he's going 4 weeks to Kansas City, his parents live there. I don't know if it were jokes or if it was serious, but 'they' have been telling me that I will be the 'foreman' next week. Well, I hope it, it will be a challenge for me, bring it on! I will be more then ready to learn a few new things, totally not worried. But again, perhaps it's all jokes, lol. It's all fine with me. A foreman at our section is not really a boss though, he guides us, we all do it together. Perfect!

But, oh well, the appointment is around 11:00 am, it's all good. Taking the train from 10:30 am, and arriving at 11:45 in Nijverdal. From there my Aunt and Uncle will pick me up and we will drive to our appointment. I will take with me the 'wanted' copies and the appointment invite. piece of cake. I'm thinking of (if the 'heritance' goes well) to give my Aunt and Uncle a little part of the heritance. I know it's not always been good to the both of us, disagreeing, argues and a few his fits, but forgive and forget. I must admit, they did alot for my Dad. I didn't always agree with them and didn't always like the way they handled things, but I'm thank full too. I think it's a nice gesture from me to them.
The two days of work were exhausting much, I just have given to much, once again. Last night I though, 'How on earth will I come to the second day of work?' But I managed, here and there a few tough times, with feeling pressure on my chest, and dizziness, but okay. It's resting time now, Next week will be different. Next week my foreman goes on a holiday, he's going 4 weeks to Kansas City, his parents live there. I don't know if it were jokes or if it was serious, but 'they' have been telling me that I will be the 'foreman' next week. Well, I hope it, it will be a challenge for me, bring it on! I will be more then ready to learn a few new things, totally not worried. But again, perhaps it's all jokes, lol. It's all fine with me. A foreman at our section is not really a boss though, he guides us, we all do it together. Perfect!

Monday, Monday!
Monday, Monday!
I always get a little to enthusiastic on Monday at work, actually not only on Monday, actually every working day. Today aswell, I worked on my own section and got a bit overwhelmed with enthusiasm, lol. I really enjoy the work I do, then I get carried away and regret the hard and fast work afterwards. Realizing that I still have to work the complete day, plus the next day. I got to listen to my body more then to my mind, though that's not that easy. My mind always wins and takes it over. Ofcource I realize that I don't have the same energy then a normal healthy person.
But still. The fore-man where I work with is a damn hard worker, no one can compete with him, no one. He is the one who leads our section, and that's not always easy. He gets carried away sometimes too with our work, and then it's a hell of a job to follow or keep up with him. I tried a few times in the beginning, but it's impossible, specially with my energy level. Sometimes he doesn't understand about my less energy. ot he doesn't want to understand. But oh well, that's a thing I need to learn aswell, speak up!
Probably I will get a phone call from my Aunt in a little hour, it's about my inheritance from my Dad.To receive this inheritance there has to be a few things done. First of I need to make a appointment with the people who made this inheritance possible, my Aunt and Uncle took care of that today. I needed to make a copy of my bank card and passport, I did that today at work. Plus I need probably a civil law notary, just to get this all officially. Maybe (almost sure) I will get the appointment this coming Wednesday morning.

Yeah, I know, I know...
Yeah, I know, I know...
I forgot to write a post yesterday, so I will write two posts in one. I can be short in the first post, I had a great day yesterday. Amsterdam was nice, long day but so much worth it. The weather was unexpected cold though, it started out with a bit of dust rain. I was glad I brought a extra thin raincoat, I weared it in the first half of the day. The things I wanted to see I saw all, only I missed out the PC-Hoofdstraat, but oh well, there's always a next time. Amsterdam is huge, there's no way you can see everything in one day. I was surprised by the amount of canals and bridges, there were so many.
Ofcource I saw other sight seeings aswell, such as a Magnum pleasure store, and a huge cruise ship taking of from the 'Ij,' just behind the Central train station. Amsterdam was full of tourists, as usual, it made me almost not possible to take pictures, lol. Around 5:pm I took the train back towards Almelo, no switching trains this time, just all the way back in one ride, loved it. My legs were quit okay, though I was glad I was home. Today I rested and I had a visit in the morning from my Aunt and Uncle, it was about my inheritance from my Dad.
I received the letter a few days ago, my Aunt called me to ask if I received it already. Cause it was them who got the inheritance letter first. All mail what my Dad still receives and had received goes and went to my Aunt and Uncle, reason? Cause my Dad had most of his mail coming from his town Nijverdal, (Insurances, bank, licences.) it's easier for me that my Aunt and Uncle handle all my Dad's still received mail cause they live in Nijverdal and I'm not. The inheritance letter went first to my Uncle, but this letter involved me, so my Uncle sent it to me.
It's quit a sum of money what I (probably) will receive, though since I got this letter I have mixed feelings. Sure, it's always nice to get money, I sure can use it. But, it brings sad feelings and thoughts back aswell, I almost can't describe it, like, "it's not my money, I can't take it, it's not mine." But now it is, I have the right on it, but still. Do I deserve this? Yes, I'm my Fathers Son, and hey, my Dad would be mad if I don't enjoy this sum money, sending me bad vibes from above.
Anyhow, to receive this inheritance there has to be a few things done, not much, but it's a must. First of I need to make a appointment with the people who made this inheritance possible, my Aunt and Uncle will take care of that, they live close by these people. I need to make a copy of my bank card and passport, plus I need probably a civil law notary, just to get this all officially. My Aunt and Uncle told me to avoid the notary, cause a notary will cost me quit alot. I agreed with them, so we will try to get the inheritance officially without the notary.
