Life

Why is it that all the bad things happen at once? And all the good opportunities seem to arise at once as well? Is that life? I don’t know …. weird how things go. Yet another opportunity arose, this time careerwise. All I have to do now is win that jackpot on Old Year’s Eve and we’re all set By the way, no news yet on the house. I didn’t expect any actually. I think this might last till after the New Year has arrived. No rush, no rush. I just hope things will fall out positively. ——- Update And we’re back in the race! This time the bid is more positive, and we’re trying to see where this goes. For tonight I’ve managed to make an apointment with a financial advisor. The lady I spoke to on the phone was...

Tumdumdumdum … DUUUM

~squeezes fingers~ So they came, they saw and … They’re serious. Or so our real estate agent said on the card he left. They’re discussing things with an architectural engineer right now. The RE Agent said to just wait. AAARHG! I hate waiting!

Asia

I am still looking in shock at the news every night: the death toll because of the seaquake in Asia is rising and rising. Approaching 70.000 … and governments suspect to double that amount, not in the least because they fear epidemics because of contaminated drinking water and corpses left out to rot too long ~cringes~ I cannot imagine what it must be like. One moment you are going through your normal daily life and the next everything around you is in shambles. If you are lucky to be alive you face the death of loved ones … can you imagine that journalists reported that there was no one – NO ONE – they talked to who didn’t have a missing or dead family member? That is just heartbreaking. What I find even more appalling is that I just...

Second viewing

So there were two viewings today. I thought there only would be one with two people, but it were actually two consecutive viewings. The first pple thought it a really sweet house but a little expensive. They would think about it. But the second pple are returning tomorrow for a second viewing and they are bringing their own “specialist” or so it said on the card that the real estate agent left us. I suspect that they might be interested but want to bring their own real estate agent, much like I did when I was looking for a house. At this very point I am a little jaded I think. Last time something like this happened, I was very excited but in the end things fell through. This time I am in a ” watching the cat out of the tree ” mode as we...

End Of Year …

As always, it is time for the end-of-year post, and looking back and reading my log, I actually was kind of taken aback by how many times I have been sick or frustrated. This actually wasn’t a very good year. It seemed to consist of waiting for things that just didn’t happen. I hope that this year has been a preparation for next year, where things actually will start to happen ~chuckles~ January In spite of it being the first month of the year, and generally being the month where you feel you start with a clean slate, January wasn’t all that good. Most of it evolved around people being sick or dying. A collegue was diagnosed with incurable cancer, my aunt died of a cardiac arrest, another collegue’s young child died and a friend of the...
