Well, I guess this will be my last entry for now. Things have been hectic and I will be happy if it’s all over. Tomorrow evening I will hang out at the Irish pub with some of my friends and ex colleagues to say goodbye to them. In the morning I will have to help loading the van with all the stuff that has been collected and shoved in boxes also my mice are going over. We have four hours to arrange it all then AS. has to go. I won’t be coming along, I dislike boats and I don’t have a good memory of the last time when it was stormy weather and everyone was ill and puking, no fun! So I’d rather stay home…
We will be flying over on Monday evening but hopefully things will have settled at the airports. I really don’t feel like delays due to security checks etc. I had that once when I went to Seattle two months after the Twin Tower crash, but I could hardly call that security to be honest since I could easily sneak through the check points without having anything checked. Also; they served wine in glass bottles on the plane, I thought that was a bit funny in those circumstances.
Anyway, I feel that the current situation is nothing but an out of proportion mass hysteria once again. I won’t change my ways, I won’t give up traveling by plane just because there is some risk. There’s also a risk every day when you cross the street, isn’t it? So hopefully the madness will be over soon and things will be back to normal and hopefully we will be able to catch our flight since all were canceled by our airline yesterday and today.
I also have to announce that I became an aunt on the 9th. It doesn’t feel any different. I’m happy for my brother, he sent me some pictures today because I won’t have time to see them. DM. will come over tomorrow and help me out cleaning the house and filling holes in walls. I will stay at CH.’s place over the weekend and on Monday morning I will have to sign papers from the estate agent and hand over the keys.
In the afternoon I have to sign over the car to DM. and ER. and then we will have some hours to kill at the airport, if all goes well that is… Hopefully I will be back online on Tuesday! I will have to bring my Powerbook along with all my other stuff so I won’t be able to write till Monday evening or Tuesday. I feel like Siamese twins that needs to be separated from the other vital part… I will miss my computer. Yes I am addicted, I never said I wasn’t.

It Won’t Take Long…
I love him to bits you know, but sometimes he can be a bit demanding my silly guy. He now wants me to take pictures of the Red Monster and design a brochure. Like I haven’t anything else to do, more important stuff… First of all, I don’t want to sell the Red Monster, second of all I have shitloads of other things to do like packin’ for instance???? I told him he had to take care of selling the car if he wants to sell the car. The to-do-list in my head is about to implode. I already notice that my brain doesn’t like the overload of information at times and I’m becoming forgetful.
I really don’t need another subject added to the list. He said he would take care of it but now he wants me to take pictures. How often did you hear the line ‘it won’t take long’ and then in the end you’ve spent hours to get the job done and you knew that was going to happen anyway but you can’t make it clear to the other person that ‘it-won’t-take-long’ situations always take long, no exceptions… There is no such thing as a ‘it-won’t-take-long’ situation, that simply does not exist… *sigh* so I will have to take some pictures… Well I will but the rest is up to him, I’m not going to design a nice little brochure, I have other things to do then faff about.
He even had the car washed… Silly… I’m going to the beach tonight with Chantal, have dinner there and relax a bit so I need the car but cleaning it wasn’t really necessary. He also filled up the tank. Okay that’s sweet and he didn’t have to do it. Aaaaaaaaaaaargh why is he giving me such a hard time, or why am I such a wimp… I will take the pictures for him, but he really has to do the rest. I think that’s the balance.
The Capricorn is near the top of the mountain, all alone watching clear skies most of the time but today there seems to be a fog in the valley. He’s wondering where the others are and why they can’t keep up with his pace since they’re out of sight. He feels like no-one really understands him, the price you pay for being a goat… It’s lonely at the top.
