(Temporarily) Laid off...

Got a phonecall from work today. They asked how I'm doing and when I can come back... Of course I had to explain Bell's palsey again and also had to tell there's no saying when it'll be over.

So since I was still in my trial month I am gonna be temporarily laid off. Have to call them when my mouth works again so they can give me a new contract. I KNEW IT! Why can't things just go smooth, why do I have to get some obscure ailment nobody knows what starts or ends it. I hate this! With my first pay I was gonna repair my scooter finally and from there on I could start saving money... Well, looks like that's all gonna be delayed now.

I am so, so sad about that but I understand work too. Shit happens apparently.

On the other hand...I DO have more time for reading now. Last season I watched this great HBO series, A Game Of Thrones. It is based on the 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' series by writer George R.R. Martin and my son gave me the first 4 books in paperback format for my birthday. They're all about 1000 pages so although they do look 'small', the paper is thin and the letters tiny ;) I have been walking around with 'A Game Of Thrones' ever since I got the giftbox, I read some in the bus going to work, and always read 1 or 2 chapters in bed before going to sleep.

I am VERY happy to announce I have started in book 2 now: 'A Clash Of Kings'. And since the HBO series followed the first book very well I can't wait to see the 2nd season... and I am reading it now :) The books are lovely, well written and I don't think it's gonna take me almost 2 months to finish this one.

There was another tv series I well liked: 'Legend Of The Seeker', based on the books of Terry Goodkind. And that writer has written another book, first of a series too I think, called 'The Laws Of Nines' And guess what: my son bought me that book too :) In Dutch this time but who cares ;)

And of course part 5 of 7 of  'A Song Of Ice And Fire' is just out now! Only in hardcover edition for now but by the time I am ready for it it should be out in paperback :)

So you see, I have LOTS of reading to do...now that I have lots of time to do just that!

Y'all have a great day,
