Not Off After All

So.. I ended up working today after all. I got a message in the morning, saying one of our guys was ill and couldn't come in. I don't know how long he'll be off for.. He just finished his summer holidays yesterday and suddenly he's ill today. I just read an article about people stretching out there summer holidays by getting a sick note from the doctors.. I'm not saying he did that, because there are people out there with a nasty case of the summer flu, but seriously shit luck if he is always sick around the time he's supposed to leave on his holidays or coming back! Anyway, more hours for me.

They gave me the crutches for 2 months and I think it was today that I had to take them back, and I was going to, but then I got called in to work.. I have to take them to the hospital tomorrow morning before work and hope I'm not in some kind of trouble because I didn't take them back today.

I was gonna get a few things sorted today, but I guess they can wait until Friday - my next day off. I didn't know the post office was only open til 6 during the summer - maybe because I haven't been anywhere or done anything for so long.

It was quite busy in work today. It was nice talking to so many people and actually doing stuff all day :) I've also felt the urge to do more at home - that might not stick! - but I get joy from doing the laundry or decluttering, because I actually can do things like that. Driving is also something I've missed loads and now get to do when ever I want :) Happy times!

Now it's off to bed. Can't be staying up late anymore, have a reason to get up earlier in the morning :)

J's First Birthday.

Like the title suggests, it was indeed J's first BDay on the 21th. It was magical witnessing this little ray of sunshine, getting out of the baby age. We wont stop calling her a baby, but she is now officially over a year old.

B made her a cake - a bit on the sweet side and sure to give anyone diabetes - but nonetheless perfect for this occasion. He also made cupcakes! Those were just FUCKING awesome!

A lot of people came to celebrate J and I wish I could've walked around taking pictures, in stead of sitting down the whole time. We got a few pics though and I'm sharing some here..

There were other children there - I only got a picture of one of them but that's enough :) The cutest thing ever, J hugging J.

J wont understand any of this now, but I'm totally gonna show her all these pictures when she's a bit older. We never got around to getting her a present, because we thought we'd just put money on her account, but I think I might still get her something small.. Can't help myself - she is just the cutest thing I've ever seen! I'm gonna go see her tomorrow, it's been too long already, even though I just saw her yesterday. Remember when she was this tiny?

Good Stuff!

I'm finally back in work. It's been over two months since I last got to do what comes naturally to me - customer service. It was a bit weird being back, but it was like riding a bike. As weird as it sounds, I'm off tomorrow, and really need to take care of a few things I haven't been able to do with the crutches always there..

I also bought a new laptop! I haven't had one for a couple of years and it feels really nice having one again. The one I had before this, lasted for a very long time and there was nothing wrong with it until the very end. Windows 8 is great! There was only one tiny problem and with a little help from my friend, I got it fixed. I think it'll be fine and I hope I'm right. Thankfully I got a 3 year warranty on it..

So Friday came around, and I thought; holy shit, I have to walk around all day Monday! So that's when I decided to give up my BFFs - the crutches - and start walking. My foot wasn't sore but my calf was hard as rock. Muscles need to learn to be used again. Thankfully I decided to start walking on Friday, because otherwise I would have been completely fucked today. It wasn't bad at all and the day went by quite quickly :)

I heard good things about this program - Orange is the New Black - so I checked it out. It's one awesome program! Thankfully they've only done one season of it, giving me a chance to catch up before the second season.

I must tell you about something else, something very special - but I'll do it in another post!

Rainy Days

The weather has been shit for the last couple of days. Rainy and windy - doesn't bother me, all I do is sit at home doing nothing. It could literally rain cats and dogs and it wouldn't make a difference to me.

Today I've done a lot! I woke up, watched some episodes, had friends over, had dinner and now I'm watching Top Gear. So yes, I was lying. I have done very little today.

We got home for like 9.30 last night and I was exhausted. Long day and walking around.. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have to explain the crutches to anyone and that was pretty much the only thing we talked about. Some of them are really nice and we get along but most of them I know very little because I really don't want to spend time with them. It was awesome to spend some time with my grandad and it looks like we'll be 'on a boat motherfucker' next year for his BDay - awesome!

Now it's time to start a new puzzle. It's been a few days since I finished the last one.. I should really finish reading this book as well.. Maybe tomorrow.

Roadtrip

On our way to Vaasa for my grandads BDay. I didn't think I'd still be rocking the crutches at this point but for one reason or another, they are still my closest companions.. In addition to having to jump around on one foot, I managed to scratch my toe on the concrete step and now can't wear shoes. Since I didn't think this would happen, I didn't bring any open toe sandals with me so I'll have to go barefoot - fucking great. My feet are such a disappointment.

I'm still off sick so have to come up with stuff to do everyday.. Being stuck in the house all day every day might sound nice and relaxing but it's driving me crazy. I have a serious case of cabin fever going on here.

It's still quite far to drive so I'm just gonna relax and listen to some music. I doubt anything exciting will happen but I'll return with more interesting information later today or a month from now.
