Today I read the astronomical spring has officially started. Something about the sun over the Equator :p Don't ask me please, I read stuff like that and it immediately leaves my brain, haha! Dan told me that they're having a really HOT spring in Chicago, temperatures have been in the 80's F there lately, close to 30C! While here we're dabbling in the lower 50's F and sometimes we go a teensy bit over 60F, 10-17C. I really hope that doesn't mean it is gonna be that hot overthere when I plan to visit! But Dan says it's usually kinda cool in May... Well he also said it usually snows in March :p
Remember I told you all I really needed a job so I could have my scooter repaired? I needed new tires and an exhaust and a sparkplug and a new startmotor and a battery... As you all know I didn't find a job STILL but I DID manage to have the scooter fixed ;) Turns out the new battery was all it needed to start again so I saved a bit of money there (no startmotor needed :p) and all the other bits and pieces I got month by month. My son even fitted me a new basket on the back, the old one was falling to pieces! Can't tell you how happy that made me, my scooter is my main means of transport...
I sent in another 2 lessons of the Life Coach course for homework. And now I am at a chapter I am not too happy about, the one about addictions. Luckily the book said right away that life coaches aren't the ones to help addicted people because I soooooo don't want to! I have seen so much addiction in my life that all I wanna do to addicts is kick them in the butt, HARD. I know that is something I may have to work on but in the meantime I am happy that I can just search for some addresses of specialists to send them to. So I have to collect the courage to send in my homework and then start with some 'fun' chapters again, about relationships and families!
Yesterday my son came to visit. He brought dinner ('Kapsalon' or Barber's shop', that is french fries with döner kebab under some melted cheese, topped off with salad greens, cucumber, tomato and onion and drenched in hot sauce and garlic sauce). The portions were HUGE and I (of course) didn't manage to eat all mine but it was deeeeeelicious :) After that we were going to watch some old movies I found, childhood faves. Legend was a big disappointment, man what was that movie slow! Then we put on The Mambo Kings but got a call from Nina in the middle of the movie that one of Evan's highschool friends was on the telly so we had to watch that of course. After that Jackass2 was on so Evan wanted to watch that... Not my cup of tea really but he just couldn't stop laughing...and it's good to see your kid laugh :)
Yesterday during dinner my friend Patrizia called me. She's still in a fight with her employer, she's suffering from burn-out and both her GP and psychologist say she can't go back to work yet but the controlling physician says she can. Told her to go see her doc again today to see what happened with the reports he and the psychologist had to send in and stay strong, make her employer license her and not make him have her go away on her own account! She also had very good news though, she's finally starting her restaurant! It's really close to the one where she works now and it's gonna be called 'La Dolce Vita'! She and her boyfriend managed to get all the money they need together and she'll probably open May 1st :D
She wanted me to be at the opening but I'm in Chicago then... Will visit asap when I'm back of course and I am thinking of having the picture above printed on canvas to give to her :)
And...I just went to get the mail and there was a little package from England! The other day Dan and I were talking about a hematite bracelet my aunt gave me once and I was looking for the healing properties of hematite on the internet when I came across the cutest bracelet ever: all hearts of hematite with silver beads inbetween and a heart and arrow clasp. Cams were on so Dan heard me gasp and wanted the link 'to see it'. Of course he ordered it for me right away!!!! Coincidence? The lady that owns the website/webshop is also an intuitive life coach/Reiki Master. Hmmmm ;)
Well these were some bits and bobs from my life... It ain't much but at least things are happening again and I feel great about it :)
Have a lovely day you all!
Hugs, Anna
