A. is going to be on standby all weekend, starting Friday afternoon… He told me he will receive about 30 calls during the day and night *nice* He said:”you are going to be grumpy and pissed off with me…” So far we have been lucky while still in the Lowlands we only had one serious night in three years where I had no sleep at all. All the other times were fine, just a few calls mostly during the day and one or two during the night. I would get up as well and spend some time working on projects, I don’t really mind as long as I get some sleep.
This time will be different; his colleagues told him that he will have to get some sleep whenever possible, daytime or night-time, by the sound of it it is going to be hectic… I won’t get pissed off with him, after all it’s not his fault that computers are not flawless, nor are people. I dread this weekend though [and the next; same thing] because I do need some sleep and I will be grumpy once I’m in my REM phase, suffering from temporary paralysis and peaking brain activity and some moron who doesn’t have a life decides to page mine.
I reckon IT goes hand in hand with sleepless nights and I better have my projects ready so I can work on it while my brain seems to be peaking, I might come up with some really cool ideas…

Life
When we came home tonight I received a phone call from TH., telling me that my friend CH. is in hospital with something that resembles a stroke [that makes two]. 
She is still conscious but in severe pain [headache] and has to be watched for the next twenty-four hours. Tomorrow morning she will need to have a CT scan done. Unfortunately I will be at the hospital myself till midday so hopefully I will be able to get in touch with TH. once I’m back to get an update on her condition.
It makes you realise life is too short and every day is a new day, a new start, a new chance to make it the best day of your life. If I won’t post for a while I might have decided to fly to Amsterdam…
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. ~Dorothy Thompson
