Moon Energy

Posted on by

The dust has settled after a week and I even heard an apology yesterday. It seems that whenever there is a full moon, things get heated at times. I do believe in the energy of the moon, the power of Chandra, the lunar effect, and normally I take some distance because I know things can get tricky, this time I forgot and only realised when it was already in progress and hurtful things were said and done. I try to be patient and sit out my time really, so I have been busy getting my life back, taking small steps.

I’ve set up my business bank account last Tuesday when I went over to my accountant to meet up with someone from the bank. All the papers are signed and filled in and all the questions are answered, it will be a matter of a few days before my account will be opened. I had to call MvdM. for some details while we were doing this and decided to go over to his place after my meeting. I had to give MvdM. his passport back and have him sign the last bit of paperwork. We ended up playing cards, a game called Bennies, which was fun although we still need to finish it…

I haven’t been feeling well this whole week and I guess it was caused by me being over-enthousiastic last weekend when I spent time with MvdM. and W. on Saturday. I was supposed to go there for a few hours so I brought chocolate cake and MvdM. provided coffee. I bought a nice orchid for W. because he has a new job [for Dior] at Harrods since a few weeks. And I ended up staying late… I was fine the next day, just really tired but of course I had to push my limits again since this girl only seems to learn the hard way constantly.

I went out that Sunday because I had to look for satin ribbon which I couldn’t find; I’ve been sewing a dress. I took my favourite dress apart and used it to make a new one. It’s a beautiful dark chocolate satin fabric and it’s almost finished, I only need a small hook and eye and some satin ribbon for the straps. So I had to go out and try to get these bits and pieces. But by the end of the day I was totally drained, ended up in bed at 17.00 and have been sleeping for six hours. I would like to finish the dress before next Thursday because I want to wear it that evening [More about that later this week].

I’m taking it slow still and haven’t done much this weekend, just relax a bit. I’m gonna try to get some rest so I’m off to bed now and leave you with a perfect gift of nature…

Emigrant Passport

Posted on by

Today has been a day of faffing… We woke up quite late and decided to go down town to buy some clothes for our holiday in Croatia. I also had to pick up my new passport and unregister [or register as an emigrant depending on how you view this]. It felt a bit strange to do this also because it’s so definite. I had pictures taken for my new passport and did not really like them but when I saw my passport I was very happy with it.
The ‘new’ design is awesome and I’m happy to get one before I leave. Next time, which will be in another ten years I will receive the digital passport which will be introduced in October this year. Weird new rules apply for having pictures taken and one of them is that you are no longer allowed to smile. A shame really, people will look quite grumpy then, don’t you think? Also if you wear glasses you will have to take them off. I think it’s a bit exaggerated to be honest. Anyway I have mine and it looks great, if I have my scanner set up again I will try to scan it [which is probably illegal but who gives a shit] emoticons/tongue.gif
I need to register as an emigrant in order to cancel all my insurances over here. AS. already took care of insurances abroad so we don’t have to worry about it, including health insurance which is great because I wasn’t sure about what type of insurance I had to apply for but this is arranged through the company he’s going to work for. I still have to write a few letters and mail them off asap, that will be the last thing to do, last bit of paperwork over here. I will receive some tax papers once we’ve moved but that won’t be much of a problem. I’ll bring over all the papers that I’ll need anyway.
We went to town to buy some clothes at Esprit. I saw a beautiful dress and AS. wanted to give it to me but I thought it was way to expensive. I’d rather go to this second hand store, they sell stuff that is sometimes brand new and I’ve found some really nice things on several occasions. My gut feeling is telling me to go and see what is there because so far I’ve always succeeded. I could buy about five dresses for the one we saw at Esprit. So on our way back home we drove by the second hand store but unfortunately the owner had to go to the hospital so he was closing earlier. I’ll try again another day.
We ended up being stuck in a traffic jam so we went to DM.’s studio instead which is just around the corner. We had coffee and stayed for a while having a relaxed day for a change…
