"Ready for take off."
I wanted to write this post yesterday, but forgot it. Not that I was busy yesterday, but just forgot. Gosh, yesterday was dragging, yesterday's day was long, it felt like having two Sundays in one, lol. Though everything went so well the last three days, Friday I was calm and excited, Saturday I was a bit nervous, (Hence the getting closer to my trip) and Sunday was okay. Yesterday I packed my suitcase and did a few other things I planned. Just like I had a tiny schedule in my head, all good. Saturday I did my last groceries and bought a few other items, with succes.
Bought a cap for myself and a few little gifts for Atlanta/Georgia, the gifts were already planned, though I couldn't kinda make a decision yet. I'm glad I bought them. Finally it's there, the time that I will be taking off soon, heading to Atlanta/Georgia/Athens. How do I feel? I must say, I'm calm, unexpected calm. I was expecting I would have felt like a nervous wreck and thought about buying calming pills, lol. Why? I don't know, these last 5 months were tough.Tthe 'if this,' and the 'if that's' were dragging the first two months, on top of that came the passing away from my Dad.
Then the times changed, positive thoughts came along, probably a gift from my Dad above. I know he will be watching me from above while on my journey, and ofcource my Mom, so yeah, what on earth can possibly go wrong? right? I even slept quit good last night, that's new, lol. Usually I don't sleep that much before a trip, I had it with London, Berlin, Paris. But last night was good, I killed a mosquito too, it woke me up and got up right away. It took a while to spot the mosquito, but then I saw it, beng! Yeah, I go my methods and skills to catch such creatures.
Now, I'm ready for my take off. First I will head off to a store, I need some singlets. There quit handy under my T-shirts 'if' it's getting cooler, better then cut of half T-shirts, lol. I came with the idea with singlets yesterday, though on Sunday's the store's are closed. I still have plenty of time, I will be heading to the train station at 10:00 am or 10:30, I don't know yet. Both times are good, I will be at Schiphol at 00:30 pm or 1:00 pm. My flight will be around 5:00 pm, I like being on time. The train can have a delay aswell, so, on time is not a crime, lol.
I won't be writing during my vacation, I will do that afterwards. For now I will say, have a great day ya'll, and wish me luck! Excitmennnnnnnnnnnnnnnt!

Here it is then... Numbero thousand!!
Here it is then... Numbero thousand!!
Literally...
Should I put the flag out? Light some fireworks? Eat a cake? The last one sounds good, eat a cake. I might just do that tomorrow. Today at work there was a good but aswell a busy atmosphere, fellow workers were friendly. Though we had to rush in the last few hours, and what for? Yeah, good question. In the morning 'they' told us that it would be good and nice if we finish some kinda mats where we were working on, we needed 100. Though it wasn't bad if we didn't finish it. In the last few hours it suddenly was a must, oh well, it's well known there, lol.
We managed to finish 100 mats, though it was busy and rough. Other fellow workers from other sections helped us out, cause they were finished on their section with cleaning and other stuff. Madness and hectic, lol. I felt good though, actually the whole day. I think I can blame the good night sleep, I slept straight for 6 hours. It was a warm day actually, again a 28 C degree day. Sweating and hot at work. A bit after 4 pm, we went to the back of the factory hall. There was a buffet for all workers, just like last year. There we sat, lol. sweating and smelling.
The food and drinks were good, though I wasn't sure yet in the beginning what to do. Go to the free dinner which began at 5 pm, or just stay with my fellow workers. I decided to stay. I grabbed a plate of food and had a few beers. Pity about the free dinner, it would have been fun aswell there. I know alot of people there, even the staff who sit with us. It would have been the last free dinner before the Summer holiday starts, a special buffet aswell. On my way home (around 5:15)
I still could have gone to the free dinner, but naah, it's usually dead after 5:30. I took a shower, and enjoyed my rest. I called my Uncle once again to see if he was available tomorrow afternoon, I would like ( and in my head it's a must) to visit my Aunt who's sick. But my Uncle had other ideas, he was busy with other things tomorrow, oh well. My Aunt is doing a bit better actually, yesterday she felt bad, today a bit better. Of and on as my Uncle said. I think that's a good sign. I will visit my Aunt right after my trip, and that was okay with my Uncle.
Tomorrow I will be out though anyway, buying the last things I need, almost nothing, lol. Groceries aswell, and to Mom and Dad's grave. And yeah I will have that cake, or perhaps a ice cream cake, with a coffee, ofcource! But first a nice sleep in, hey! It's my holiday, 3 weeks off work. So that was my 100oth post. From now on I will write only in the weekends, I think it will be a nice update then from my adventures during the week plus weekends, lol.

999th! LOL!
999th! LOL!
I know, lol. Just getting a bit excited about the 999th post. It means aswell that I'm 999 days since my break up with Saf, do I still think of her? Yeah, but I'm not heart broken, I think sometimes of her and her kids, just like I think of other people I know. A break up is tough, specially when your not in your own country and the dumper tells you to go home without having not even have money to return. Anyway, that was then, a break up can heart, but it heals aswell, the pain fades away. Sometimes slowly, sometimes fast. I'm okay now. Though the break up has his scarves, though just little ones.
On with this day, not much to report actually. But I'll do my best. I was tired and sleepy in the morning, rest is all I did. Took 2 naps, ,lol. After lunch I went out, bought some sunflowers and visited a friend. The flowers were for that friend, cause she recently celebrated her birthday. I was planning to buy flowers, then I saw the sun flowers, lol. 3 Euro for 5 sunflowers. A very nice price for such flowers. She loved them. Today I called my Uncle aswell, I was kinda nerves to call, why? I don't know. My Aunt is sick and I think she won't recover.
She has cancer in her head, my Uncle told me last Sunday. I told my Uncle that I will visit her upcoming Friday, I hope I can bare it, on Friday I will visit my Mom and Dad's grave too. I just want to finish that day, I can also decide not to go Friday and just say home, but I can't. I have it in my head and I want (read: must) to go. During the upcoming weekend I will prepair myself for the trip to Atlanta/Georgia/Athens, fun and excitement! 4 more days to go! A few busy days ahead and then relax and chill in the weekend. Probably a sleepless night on Sunday, )as usual before a trip' lol! And then Monday, off I go! Yeehaw!

998th post!
998th post!
2 more posts to go! Yeah, I'm still stand by my decision to write less after the 1000th post. No more writing daily, just whenever I feel to. For sure once a week or so, or once in the weekend. Writing down what I went trough during the week, and what I'm up to in the weekend. Sounds good to me.
Actually not much to write today, again it was busy at work, some had to work over aswell. I guess were all looking forward to the 3 weeks off, I can tell, really. Our foreman has been working in another section near our section, Me and another fellow worker took over our section, and that goes well.
The other fellow worker is a nice guy, calm but a hard worker aswell. This morning he told me he was tired, I think it was the first time he told me that. That coming from him is a surprise, cause he usually doesn't complain. In the afternoon he told me again he was tired, yeah, let the summer holiday begin.
I'm somewhat tired aswell, thankfully the usual day of is tomorrow. It's gonna be a hot, warm day. 28 C. and a bit cloudy, I love it though, nothing better then a warm Summer day. Hey 6 days to go, I got still a few things to do, but I'm not worried about that. I'm ready, ready to fly. No fear of flying? Hmm, now when it's getting closer, hmm, Naah and a tiny bit yes, lol. Excitement more!

Summer and sleep.
Summer and sleep.
I guess I have to try to get some sleep more during the night, five or six hours ain't enough. Last night I slept only for a little four hours, usually I sleep during the colder days, (Autumn and Winter) a bit longer. Although the lack of sleep I'm pretty good during the days, a bit sleepy but further then that good. When I have to work the next day I will be in bed between 10 and 10:30 pm, recently I go a bit earlier, between 9:30 and 10 pm. But it doesn't much matter, I'm always up early, lol. Always around 4 am in the morning I wake up, sometimes even earlier, last night I woke up at 3 am.
Once when it's 4 or 5:15 am I will get up when I wake up early, funny is I always wake up an hour before my alarm, lol. I set my alarm at 5:30 am, just in case. Maybe I perform better during the day when I sleep longer, but the longer sleep ain't happening. Later to bed and later up? I still have that short sleep then. Oh well, it's fine, I'm used to it. Perhaps I'm a morning person, during my days off I sleep in until 7 or 7:30 am, sometimes 6:30 am. Nice Sunny day today, although I had a sleepy start in the morning, later today I was fine.
Here and there a bit tired and dizzy, (blame the cold and then warm weather) but okay. We're still busy, some fellow workers will be working during our Summer holiday. They asked for it, so, no harm in that. I'm looking forward for the 3 weeks off, it's needed. After work I went home and stayed home, I didn't want to go to the 'free dinner.' I felt tired and sleepy, hehe! (Lack of sleep? Lol) It's sometimes a rush to go the 'free dinner' on Monday after work. I rest 5 minutes, then it's wash up, other clothes on and off I go again. Not this evening.

"As I get closer to....."
"As I get closer to....."
As I get closer to the 22th of July, the exciter I get. I'm ready! If the flight was tomorrow, I would be ready too, well, I still would have to pack though then. Packing is easy, forgetting things isn't, lol. That's why I will take my time with packing, packing is fun and quit easy. Mostly I open my clothing closet and decide then what to take with me. I won't need a big suitcase for a Summer trip, it's all T-shirts and shorts. They don't take up that much space. I will pack my suitcase a day before I take off, that'll be Sunday then. I will make a list what to take with me, like I always do before a trip.
That way I will NOT forget a thing, like my passport, wallet, medication and plane tickets. Last night's phone call from my Uncle about my Aunt being sick was sad, and perhaps a little bump on my way to Atlanta. Either way I will go, I have been looking out for this trip from January till now. Last year I told myself, "In 2013 my goal will be to travel to the USA.!" I'm glad I managed my goal, I will be looking out for the 22th of July. Once I'm on my way my holiday begins, and I will enjoy every second of it. The moment I close my front door on the 22th the enjoying starts.
One more week of work, I'm excited about the 3 weeks of. Last month has been busy, way to busy if you ask me. The 3 weeks of will be good, hopefully the weather will be good. The last week will be kinda busy aswell, I still want a few things before my flight, that is: Visit my Mom and Dad's grave, visiting my Aunt and Uncle, a few groceries and I still need some nice sandals. Wednesday or Friday are my days off, let's see what I can do then. During the upcoming weekend I will rest and enjoy my beginning of the 3 weeks of holiday. It's all good!

"Aunt."
"Aunt."
After I wrote my last post I received a phone call from my Uncle, when I heared him I knew already half that there's something not right. Usually it's my Aunt who calls and not my Uncle. After my Uncle asked me how I was doing, he told me that my Aunt is not well, I have thinking about this already though. Cause my Aunt was already sick a little month ago, she couldn't get trough her flue. My Uncle told me that my Aunt has been hospitalized a few weeks ago with intracranial bleeding, later on the doctor found out the she has cancer in her head.
My Aunt lays now for recovery in a elderly house near her own house, she has to heal first for another three weeks before the hospital can 'radiation therapy' her. I wasn't prepared for that news, though I'm quit okay about it. I hope my Aunt gets trough this and recovers, though, cancer? Hmm, it will be though for her, and for her Family. Upcoming Friday I will visit my Uncle and my Aunt in the elderly house, I will tell my Uncle then aswell that I will be soon on a holiday.
My Aunt and Uncle don't know yet that I'm going on a trip, and certainly not to the US. Why not? I didn't want to worry them, they might worry cause they might think that I will have the same adventure as in Canada, but that ain't happening. I will inform my Uncle about my trip and say that I'm not available between the 22th of July until the 29th of July, hopefully they are alright with that.

Saturday's!
Saturday's!
Weekends are shorter when I work Friday's a extra half day, lol. While I'm writing this post it's already Saturday eve' 9:21 pm. Tomorrow it's Sunday, and then it's Monday already. Monday starts the last working week before our Summer holiday. Time flies sometimes! Today flew by aswell, it was a nice and warm day, I didn't expect it would be this warm. The last few day's it was kinda chilly, a Summer jacket was needed. It should be just as chilly as yesterday and the day before, according to our weather forecast. But no, I went out with a jacket this afternoon, but damn, it was way to warm to have a jacket on.
I did my last groceries, looked for sandals too but without success. I ain't gonna pay 40 or 50 bucks for a pair of sandals, though I want quality aswell. I know a few cheaper shoe stores, but they don't sell quality. I will look again later this week in other shoe stores, or just buy the sandals I saw for 40 bucks. Just my luck that I could re-tray my swim short today, I went back to the store where I bought the short. Though they didn't had the same short in a larger size, Lucky I knew a same store as 'this' one further up in the city.
It was a bit of a ride, but okay, and whatta ya know? The swim short I wanted was there! And only one! Just my luck. I bought a sundae ice cream, (ow, full belly!) and bought my last groceries. I was done for today, this morning I had already a nap, the second nap was even better. I felt exhausted today, the busy work during the last weeks is dragging me. Specially the 'extra' half day, funny enough, during the week my tiredness is quit okay, and work goes well too. When the weekend then starts I can feel it. Tired, sleepy and a light heavy chest, naps and rest will solve that. Roll on Summer holiday, lol!

Not every disease is visable...
Not every disease is visable...
Sometimes I ignore it, sometimes it bucks me, but I guess I never get used to it. Jokes at work, or sentences what bucks me when my day of is the next day. Aswell today, I worked a 'extra' half day, it was fun and did quit alot. Though the last few hours I could tell I had enough, my energy was slowly fading away. At 12:30 we all washed our hands for lunch, the people who had the rest of the day off left, just like me. Perhaps it's all 'man talk' or 'though boy jokes,' but I don't like it. Sentences like, 'Your leaving already, wow, I wish I could switch with you, you have such a good life.' or, 'Hey, see you tomorrow at 6:00 am,' (while your heading out the door to wish them a nice weekend), Not all of them are like this, but just some. Some a bit more then others. 'Take it as a joke, (cause it is) or just simply ignore it.' though guys, tough work, oh well, you get me, lol.
I was thinking one day to comment back to one of them, by saying, 'Hey, sure you can switch with me, I bet you couldn't hold it out for a day.' But, I think it's best to ignore it, 'when' they are like that. Ofcource they aren't always like that, they can be nice and funny with you aswell, and ofcource I should just laugh about it, with them. I think everyone at work gets sometimes their portion, I saw it and heared it, and I laughed too. It's just like that, that's our team. Sounds maybe silly, I know. But we always work together as a team in the end, no matter what. Gossip aswell, I think there's always gossip on the work floor, and not only there. I'm part our team, that's for sure, I noticed already soon that I'm 100% accepted, the workers like me and everyone chats or make jokes with me.
End of rant!
Some of our workers will work tomorrow aswell, there's still much to do. Though I almost sure we will get it all done before our Summer holiday. I saw it, and I'm positive about it. They didn't ask me to worl 'another' half day tomorrow, ofcource not. If they would have asked me I would have say no either way, I need my rest. If I was a healty person with no disease what so ever, I probably would say yes, hmm, yeah. I really like the work I do, it's a nice atmosphere, well most of the time, lol. (Hence the 'though boy' jokes towards me) Plans for the weekend? Well, I wanted to go out but, I still have plenty of time to go out and buy the things I need. My idea is to visit my parents grave a few days before I leave for my trip, next week Friday will be good. Buying the needed sandals tomorrow.
Sometimes I ignore it, sometimes it bucks me, but I guess I never get used to it. Jokes at work, or sentences what bucks me when my day of is the next day. Aswell today, I worked a 'extra' half day, it was fun and did quit alot. Though the last few hours I could tell I had enough, my energy was slowly fading away. At 12:30 we all washed our hands for lunch, the people who had the rest of the day off left, just like me. Perhaps it's all 'man talk' or 'though boy jokes,' but I don't like it. Sentences like, 'Your leaving already, wow, I wish I could switch with you, you have such a good life.' or, 'Hey, see you tomorrow at 6:00 am,' (while your heading out the door to wish them a nice weekend), Not all of them are like this, but just some. Some a bit more then others. 'Take it as a joke, (cause it is) or just simply ignore it.' though guys, tough work, oh well, you get me, lol.
I was thinking one day to comment back to one of them, by saying, 'Hey, sure you can switch with me, I bet you couldn't hold it out for a day.' But, I think it's best to ignore it, 'when' they are like that. Ofcource they aren't always like that, they can be nice and funny with you aswell, and ofcource I should just laugh about it, with them. I think everyone at work gets sometimes their portion, I saw it and heared it, and I laughed too. It's just like that, that's our team. Sounds maybe silly, I know. But we always work together as a team in the end, no matter what. Gossip aswell, I think there's always gossip on the work floor, and not only there. I'm part our team, that's for sure, I noticed already soon that I'm 100% accepted, the workers like me and everyone chats or make jokes with me.
End of rant!
Some of our workers will work tomorrow aswell, there's still much to do. Though I almost sure we will get it all done before our Summer holiday. I saw it, and I'm positive about it. They didn't ask me to worl 'another' half day tomorrow, ofcource not. If they would have asked me I would have say no either way, I need my rest.

Ten more days.
Ten more days.
Busy, busy, busy, I am planning my rests, lol. It's all alright though, I will get things done, with work and my preparing for my trip. It's busy, but it's fun aswell. Today after work, I couldn't really decide what to do, lol. To the free dinner or straight to home, I was exhausted and tired after work and needed rest. Though I went to the free dinner, and I'm glad I went. It was fun there and comfy, a few laughs, a few talks, and good food. I figured if I would have decide to go home, I should had prepair dinner and that would have been busy aswell. Plus I needed to go into town aswell either way after work, I wanted to re-tray a swim short, the swim short I bought yesterday. It was just a tiny bit to big, it fitted, but, hmm. After the free dinner I re-trayedhort for one size smaller.
Tomorrow I will be working too, today at work was good. The mistake I made last Tuesday wasn't a big one, thankfully, lol. It kept me a few hours awake last night, I dislike making mistakes. This morning no one mentioned my mistake, only our foreman, but he was nice about it. Lol, he made a mistake himself too, that relieved me a bit, lol. It's all good. Tomorrow after work I will do most of my groceries for the upcoming week. The rest of the groceries I will do the next day. On that next day I will be heading out to Nijverdal. Just a short afternoon, getting things done, and visit my Mom and Dad's grave, I'm sure the grave needs a few new flowers, I will buy them on forehand.

Two posts in one, yeah, yeah, I know...
Two posts in one, yeah, yeah, I know...
I didn't forget to write a post yesterday, I felt tired and sleepy, and just before going to bed I realized I still had to write a post. Oh well, tomorrow a double post I thought. So, here it is two posts, let's start of with...
Tuesday!
It hasn't been that chaotic and hectic at work these last two days at work, though I felt tired and sleepy afterwards. It's still busy at work, the question now is, 'Are we're gonna manage it all before our Summer holiday starts," next week on Thursday 4:00 pm it's officially our Summer holiday. I will give my 105% as usual, perhaps a bit more. Upcoming Friday another extra half day, busy days ahead!
Wednesday!
After a nice and long sleep I woke up around seven, nice time for a sleep in. I'm really not a long sleeper, I easily wake up during the night. It really would be a miracle if I would wake up around 8:30 or 9:00 in the morning. I sure could use some more hours of sleep, but that ain't happening. Anyway, this morning I went to my last appointment for my breathing therapy, it was a short appointment. Just the regular exercises and the usual talks, it's nice though. My therapist is a nice lady and she knows her job well, I made progress she told me, although I don't feel that. Yes, I learned alot and most important, I know what I have, I know why my throat sometimes hurt, and where (let's say) 50 % of my sometimes tiredness comes from. It's all good.
Knowing what I have gives a rest, it's surely not life's threatening, it's simple and just annoying, and that's all. I'm really okay with it, it doesn't annoy or bug me for a long time anymore, and that's a good sign. Further this day I tried to buy a few gifts and a few items I still need for my trip, some I bought with succes and with some I didn't succeed. I shouldn't have waited with buying that nice swim short I saw in a store, it was gone when I want to buy it today. No success either with buying something for Jan's dogs, lol. I just needed something small, though nice and cheap, I went to look in the nearest garden centre. Yeah, they sell such stuff there aswell.
I saw dog chewing (bone) sticks, dog treats, play toys, and even a few dog outfits, lol! But no success with buying some of the stuff, I just didn't know 'what' to buy, lol. Perhaps I saw to much, I nearly bought the dog treats or the chewing sticks. But I thought there maybe will be difficulties at the airport, lol. "No, they're aren't drugs, there just sticks and treats for dogs, honest!" I looked for wooden shoes aswell, I even saw the right size. (damn!) Though no buying them, this garden centre is quit at the price. I knew a different store where they sell wooden shoes aswell, and they even have dog stuff too. After the 'free dinner' I went to that store and....
Did I buy a pair? Well, who knows? Lol! it was quit a struggle with the size and all, size 10 was the size I needed. Size 10 is size 42 in Holland, but they were enormous and huge. What to do, what to do... Now I know that wooden shoes are way bigger then normal shoes, but the size 10 I had in my hand, wow! I decided... no, I'm not telling, lol. Let's see how long I can keep my mouth closed, lol. I made a little list of what I still need to buy and what I still need to do today too, it's quit hectic with work being busy aswell, Upcoming Saturday I will get most things done. I will go to Nijverdal, that way I can visit my Mom and Dad aswell, before I take off to the US. It's what I wanted.

990th post!
990th post!
10 more posts to go, then I will have 1000 posts written. I will see what I do after the 1000th written post, I will go on, though, I won't write everyday I think. Just when I feel like it, for sure I will write once a week. It's sometimes a hell of a job to write a post, now I'm overreacting, lol! Yeah, but sometimes... Just like today, there's not much to write. Our foreman has returned, and it was fun having him around again, missed him a bit aswell. He's a hard worker, I think no one can beat him with working, No one has too, lol!
Two more weeks and then starts our Summer holiday, actually earlier. Our Summer holiday starts on the 18th of July, that's on a Thursday. We all will stop and lay our work down around 4:00 pm, and then we gather around for a small barbecue, just like last year. Should be fun, wow, I'm already working there for more then a year, maybe even longer. But first we will have it very busy, there's still a quit a few orders to be done. Hopefully we will get it done before the 18th, it's actually that's a must.

Summer's here!
Summer's here!
This weekend was warm, not extremely hot, but nice and warm. Lots of Sunshine, T-shirt and shorts weather, my kinda weather. And this kinda weather will continue for the following weeks, as the weather man for spelled. Crossing my fingers, cause I like this kinda weather. The weekend was alright, best thing was ofcource picking up the flight tickets, withing 14 days I will have my suitcase packed, and I will be ready to go. I'm more then ready, everything goes as I planned, lol. I'm prepared, the 14 days waiting is fine, it gives me the time to check things out, see if I have everything ready, and ofcource some gifts I still want to buy. Just some little items.
Working tomorrow, tomorrow our foreman will return on our section, lol. I think he will be mesmerized about our section, lol. It's been busy, and tools and other stuff has been flying around. We always clean up everyday, but still. I like it clean and organized aswell, but it wasn't to do these four weeks, we were busy, very busy. The upcoming last 2 weeks of work will be busy aswell, hopefully I won't have to work Friday a extra day, I want to rest, so I can go out upcoming Saturday, it's been to long. But alright, let's see what this coming week brings.

And the tickets are in!
And the tickets are in!
Finally some Summer weather, I really hope it lasts. After a good rest in the morning I took of for my duties, shorts and t-shirt on. First I was heading to a few stores I wanted to visit, I need a few items for my balcony, first I need a summer 'relaxing' chair. I think they call it a stretcher, not sure though. But anyway, I couldn't fine one. I saw several though but way to pricey. I'm only using the stretcher in the Summer season, and Dutch summer days are rare at the moment. Many ideas I have for my balcony, but never actually bought things. A few chairs, a few flower pots with flowers, perhaps a outside carpet. I will see if I still have money left after my USA trip, LOL! After the shops I went to pick up the travel tickets, that went pretty easy. Together with another lady we went trough the tickets...
The departure time is still the same. Long flight though, 9 and a half hours to Atlanta, I will be flying with KLM. And back with Delta airlines, the flight back is only 8 and a half hours. I had no further questions, only I asked where to check in at Schiphol. It's easy, and when I don't know something, I can always ask. What I do regret is the fact that I only booked for 7 days, I would love to stay for another week. I will be spending time in Atlanta/Georgia/Athens for only 5 days. Anyway, it will be a great time! I'm sure of that. Would love to start packing now already, ,lol. But I'll have to wait for another 2 weeks, damn, it feels like 2 months. I still need to buy a few things, all the important stuff is done, it was easy.

Tomorrow... 'Insert smile.'
Tomorrow... 'Insert smile.
Tomorrow I will pick up my traveling tickets, I will pick them up after lunch. First I need a rest full and calm, relaxing morning, lol. Geesh, it sounds like I'm old, lol. I have a few things more to do tomorrow, so, I might aswell do all the things at once. So I don't have to go back and forth towards home, planning it wisely, lol. A few grocery and probably a few items I still need for my trip, I saw a nice swim short and a nice cap aswell, but do I need it in Georgia/Atlanta? The short and cap has a nice price, so, it won't harm. I will see tomorrow. We're going to have highly Summer this weekend, above 24 C. I would like to start with my balcony decorating aswell, I have many ideas for it, but I never started it. Let's see tomorrow.
I feel good after I worked a half day today, can't actually not imagine I worked today, though I did. We finished what we had to finish today, that was my goal. Sometimes I don't even notice how hard the time flies while working, until it's time for a coffee break, lol. I will try to keep upcoming Friday free, so I can go out upcoming Saturday, just being out in a city I never been, explore and enjoy the environment. It's been a while since I done that, plus, before I go to Atlanta I would like to visit my Mom and Dad's grave. Live sometimes flashed by so fast, that we sometimes don't even realize what has happened, when I think of my Dad, I think back to Frebruary 1.It's a special day for me now...

New post, lol!
New post, lol!
I couldn't think of a title, so I just came up with that one. Again a hard, but nice working day, productive much and still busy. Next week our foreman comes back from his Holiday, he spended four week in Kansas USA, by his parents. The four weeks without our foreman was quit okay, I learned a few things and everything went quit well. We (our section) can take a deep bow to ourselves, lol. We managed alot, I think it never has been that busy as the last week. Our section could use a good tidy up though, before our foreman comes back, only if we had the time for it, lol.
Tomorrow for the third time I will work another extra half day in the morning, though I don't think I have the energy for these extra days permanent. It's exhausting, and I have to think of myself aswell sometimes. after a extra half day working I will be taking it easy for a few days, just to let my body and mind rest. Not really having plans for upcoming weekend, though the weather will be perfect for a day out or just to be outside, they forspelled highly summer with 25 C. I will see what the weekend brings. First picking up my travel tickets ofcource on Saturday!

Unexpected: My travel tickets are ready! I'm picking them up upcoming Saturday!
Unexpected: My travel tickets are ready! I'm picking them up upcoming Saturday!
After a lazy morning and a bit what feeling disorientated, lol, I got a call from the travel agency. (eek!) I dislike such calls, lol. Flight being cancelled? Trip being cancelled? Nope, nothing of that, they asked if I could come around to fill in personally my Esta requirement, this requirement is needed when I'm traveling overseas. It was my day off, so it was easy to come around and fill in this requirement. I had a few other things to do aswell, so it was quit a struggle to start off, lol.
I washed my hair and cutted it, did a quick wash up too. Changed clothing, made lunch for tomorrow's work. Then off to buy a few needed groceries, left the needed groceries behind in my house and went straight to the pharmacy. I always get a mail when my 'new' portion of medication is ready, so I picked that up. Then off to the travel agency, they asked on forehand (trough the phone) if I could bring the address of my staying in Atlanta/Georgia aswell.
Luckily I still had Jan's address on a safe place somewhere, I brought it with me. I informed Jan aswell, The Esta requirement was filled in quit easy, the lady who helped me told me that she could do it trough the phone, but this was more personal, I agreed. After the filling in the lady told me that I could take the plane tickets with me right away, woot! They were ready!?? Wow, that was unexpected, on my calendar it said a week before my trip.
I told the lady if I could pick the tickets Saturday, cause I still had a few things to do and there was the free dinner. I didn't had a bag with me where I could put the tickets in safely. I was kinda unprepared as you can say, lol. That was okay, I can pick them up upcoming Saturday, if I still had any questions I can ask it when I pick up the tickets. That was my idea aswell! I don't have much questions though, I know alot already, but still.
A few things I know now already, I will be flying with KLM on my way to Atlanta, and on my return to Holland with Delta. Nice! With the Vesta requirement papers I don't have much to worry about customs, (like in Canada, lol!) Sure they mostly pick one person out of 25 people, to just check up on him or her, but still then, there's nothing to worry. Still 18 days to go, eeek, it's going pretty fast now. Do I need swimshorts? I saw a nice one today!

A few things I know now already, I will be flying with KLM on my way to Atlanta, and on my return to Holland with Delta. Nice! With the Vesta requirement papers I don't have much to worry about customs, (like in Canada, lol!) Sure they mostly pick one person out of 25 people, to just check up on him or her, but still then, there's nothing to worry. Still 18 days to go, eeek, it's going pretty fast now. Do I need swimshorts? I saw a nice one today!

984th post!
984th post!
Sixteen posts to go, then I wrote 1000 posts. Wow! I started writing in December 2011, now it's July 2013. I wrote everyday a post, just like I wanted. Okay, okay I forgot a few times a post, but I Always made it up the second day. I was thinking already to stop writing after my 1000th post, but, I won't. Though I will write less. Not everyday a post, just like when I feel like writing a post, I will. I will write about anything, anything what comes to my mind.
Work was good today, still busy, but without the chaotic from yesterday. We worked like how it suppose to be, lol. There was a line in our working, no one walked in each other way. Everyone had their so called 'duty,' and all was good. We worked 'again' on several huge mats, these huge mats go to one particular store. This store needed 6 huge mats, one huge mat comes in 3 parts. This whole 'mat' project has to be done before upcoming Thursday. I say, 'We will manage.'
Tomorrow a day off, like usual. No appointments, and not much to do, perfect! Just a few groceries and that'll be it. And hey! I got a email back from the 'heater' company, they wanted to come again for a check up. They apologized for last week for the misunderstandings. I will receive a a letter with the date and the time when they will show up. I just don't know... I have my doubts about this 'heater company.' I never heared from them, the company's name I never heared off aswell.
In total I got two emails back from them, the first one was hidden in my spam box, and the second one not. That's why I have more doubts about this, probably it's nothing to worry about, though I will check with my house corporation, I will tell them what's been happening last week with the heater check up, Probably 'they' know they heater comapny, or maybe not. Just checking it out, just to be sure. It's all good.

Sleepy!
Sleepy!
Today at work we managed to finish all our orders, the orders we left behind from last week and the orders what really had to be done today. We had a few extra workers with us in our section, otherwise we wouldn't have manage. Still I'm missing something in our section, okay, it's chaotic and very busy, but there's actually no "line" in the work we do. Everyone keeps running kriss kross trough each other, doing this and doing that. I don't like it when I'm starting something and I have to leave that something to do something else, I rather finish what I started. And I like it when workers clean up there mess or even better 'tools.' Everyday I hear, "Where's the knife?" or " Where's the tape?'" Well, if you would have put it away...
But then again, it's busy so I don't blame for the chaos or mess. We had to work hard to manage these orders, we even had to work on in our last break, lol. And I so needed that 2:45 pm coffee, lol! They have good coffee at work, it's from a can but it's good. I drink two cups a day at work, one at 9:30 am and one at 2:45 pm. It gives a bit of a boost. This coming week at work will be the same, busy! Though I hope without the chaotic, I will do my best, as I Always do. I didn't went to the free dinner tonight, I was exhausted, I'm sure it would have made me even worse exhausted. He he, taking care of myself. Early to bed tonight, oh yeah. After finishing this post I will hit the hay. Night!
