A day well rested!

A day well rested!

Every Wednesday I got to the 'free dinner,' just like on Monday's and Thursday's. But today I didn't go, I was tired, and felt like a nice afternoon of quietness and being on my own. I slept well last night, got up and took it easy. Around 11:00 I decided to do a few things what needed to be done, I packed two bags full with Dad's old belongings and went on my way to the second hand store. I decided already a few days ago to bring Dad's old belongings to the second hand store, cause then everyone who's buying it can enjoy it, rather then giving it away to some of my greedy friends. So yeah, good decision! One of the two bags was quit heavy and big, I putted it on my steering wheel while riding my bike. It went fine. The second hand store was again happy with it, I think I still have two or three bags full. After the second hand store I went straight to the taxes office, I think I'm a well known guest there now, lol. 

There was again a change in my income, and that's why I had to inform taxes about this change. I get benefit's from taxes cause my income is not high enough, just because I'm not working a 100% fully. I work only three days in the week. My boss pays me only for these three days, the other two days I get payed out from Social Services. I have the right on those benefits, I get housing benefits and health benefit. If there's a change in my income then the height's of those benefits will change too. Simple, right? I wasn't even nervous to go, what I usually was in the beginning, now it's just easy. They don't mind if you come to often. Next address I went to was the housing corporation, I needed to know of our new heater. We are getting a new boiler/heater or something, I say 'we.' Cause 'we' in the flat have a central heating, and this central heating is kinda old and needs to be replaced. 

This replacement will take place upcoming Monday until Thursday, meaning no hot water and no heater for at least three days. They offered us a electric little heater, though I work on the 25th, so I would like to know where and when I can get that electric heater. Housing corporation told me to contact the 'house master,' that's a guy who controls this flat in a certain way. If there's a problem 'he' will fix it or arrange it. He knows about this new heater aswell, so, I have to contact him and ask him if I can get that electric little heater sooner. Cause I will be working the 25th until 4:30, it might be then that these 'heaters' are gone. I can do without the warm water, but I like some heat when I get back from work. I will contact him upcoming Friday.

Colder days next week...

Colder days next week... 

No, I'm not worried, I'm not worried, I'm not worried! Okay............ I forgot to write a post yesterday, ugh! (Actually, I was to tired to write or didn't feel much for it, but don't tell anyone!) I had a good day at work, first half of the day I was working with this machine again, just like yesterday. That went fine, though it's kinda boring, I rather work where I usually work. Just making mats, build them, measure them and pack them. Just before lunch another fellow worker took over my work, so I could go to my own section again, yay! I actually don't mind what kinda work I do, I'm glad I have work and people around me. It's not only work we do together, we talk and have fun aswell. These fellow workers are people where I spent 24 hours with during a working week, and that's not nothing.

Next week, on Monday the 25th of February 'we' the people in our flat, will be getting a new central heating. That means from Monday until probably Thursday no heating in our houses, and no warm water. I don't mind that the 'no warm water,' though the 'no heating' sucks. Specially during Winter, couldn't they have waited until Spring or better Summer? Nope, the central heating really needed renovation. According to the letter we received we can pick up a little electric heater 'somewhere' in this flat, though I'm working on the 25th the whole day. I hope they still have heaters then, otherwise I will buy a second hand one. I need warmth! lol! I will go ask for some information by the housing corporation.
