Short Update

Posted on by

This week has been hectic so far and I will be happy when it’s Friday night and I will be asleep. Just too much going on at the moment. I promised PE. to test his project for him last Monday and Tuesday and ended up testing today instead. I have been working on some projects myself, I had to send out a parcel today and ended up faffing about with some pain in the A. Customs Declaration that I found on the Royal Mail website last night. I have finally written a long postponed letter and sent it off to the Lowlands and I had to organise piles of paperwork for my interview Friday. I seem to be running out of time and there’s only 24 hours in a day isn’t it?

I’ve written about six long emails to friends who have been waiting for my reply for at least two weeks. I’m blessed with patient friends though so they won’t start nagging because they know what my life can be like at times. Good news is that MvdM. arranged eight tickets to see Amy Winehouse in December if she won’t be too pissed to perform that is. I’m really looking forward to that since it will be my first gig to attend in the UK/London and we’ll be going with a group of people so it’s gonna be fun with a capital F! I’m also slowly recovering from a serious bug that I had for three weeks. I can finally eat and drink again, it’s a very effective way of losing weight if you need to… *hehe*

I have deleted my old blog *yes* and made backups of that old Movable Type installation [3.3.4] so I have a reference still in case this version [4.0] is going to fail on me. So far so good though and I’m not complaining, just yet. My Porsche drive seems to be doing fine after a format. I’ve organised all my stuff in a more efficient way although I still need to burn about another 100 DVDs to archive some clients/files. I’m slowly getting there…

Another Friday

To those who googled for ‘chinese doctor’ please read here how I ended up in hospital because of the herbal treatment, it took me three months to recover and I’m lucky to be alive; it caused a serious liver failure! Feel free to email me if you have any questions about this, the address is on the right.

I went to the Chinese doctor again this morning and was running late so I called them to tell. Then when I got the Tube to Bethnal Green I got stuck halfway for 10 minutes because of a computer meltdown. I ended up being 15 minutes late. Treatment was okay this time although I had trouble relaxing and I couldn’t fall asleep so half an hour felt like ages all of a sudden. Last week I had 30 needles stuck in my legs, arms, belly, neck, face and head. This time 32, legs 8, arms 8, belly 5, face 5 [two right under my eyes and one under my chin] and on top of my head another 6. I have at least 15 treatments to go so I wonder what I will look like since the amount of needles seems to increase each week…

On my way back home I ran into this old man in his power chair who lives in the neighbourhood. He is such a kind man, I ran into him yesterday as well when I came back from my meeting with the accountant smiling from ear to ear because all went well setting up my business. He always says hello and I always greet him back with a smile. He has something so vibrant and radiant about him while he must be at least 80 years old. It’s so nice to see. Today he was chatting with a lady and they both said hello to me. It’s nice if people start to recognise you and say hello to you, it feels like you’re accepted and perhaps I am finally starting to feel slightly at home…
