Basically, I didn't have to say much, I could hardly get a word in edge wise, it was kind of funny, she was telling me about herself instead of the opposite. She didn't ask me any basic interview questi... Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:43:02 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1255736 Well the little cafe around the corner called me in for an interview tomorrow at 10:30 am. I'm not sure exactly what they want me to do. From what I've seen going for the occasional sandwich over the last year, the girl did some dishes, and served some tables. Maybe help with general clean u... Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:22:15 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1248778 Well Nick finally got his african grey "Ruby" to say Justin's name, and my son was just thrilled this morning, we laughed so much. Although he did call him a "fucker", it was quite funny, anything tickles my son is music to my ears, and he's 20 so what the hell.... Sat, 16 Aug 2008 14:05:05 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1245214 It's been again a terrible week as far as awful incidents go. Monday night I awoke to an arguement on the street, we get those because people love to take our street home from the damned bar. It usually doesn't escalate into much, sometimes a lot of shouting and sometimes a belt or two back ... Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:31:56 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1232778   We go tomorrow at 3:00 pm. and sign all those papers all over again, but oh well, we've been approved for a 35 year mortgage now, thank goodness. This will help us a great deal but we still have to tighten things never the less, which is crazy because we don't do much to begin with. W... Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:46:40 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1229029 Roald and I went to the bank to see about getting help with our financial situation. If we can take away a couple of montly payments that will help tremendously. They are going to see if we can get approval for re-mortgaging, it can be spread out over 35 years now as apposed to just 30 years when we... Tue, 05 Aug 2008 12:04:19 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1224074 Not only is Ruby the swearing parrot, laughter therapy for me, she also makes Justin laugh when he's feeling really down and depressed. If something can make him smile and laugh again, I don't care what it is, I say keep it coming. I emailed this man that has an enormous following and a... Sat, 02 Aug 2008 12:21:16 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1219039 I woke up to a magnificent thunder and lightening storm this morning. When I opened my bedroom door Franky was on the stairs as he usually is waiting for me to take him out. He looked up at me and started gagging, and then whoops..yep..he got sick on the stairs. As he looked back up I said to h... Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:32:38 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1216654 Once again we had a serious discussion about our finances and how much we really have to be careful now that our savings have almost dwindled down to nothing. Going for walks now is not pleasant anymore right now, as we discuss the situation in great lengths these days. We're trying to keep our ... Tue, 29 Jul 2008 11:24:08 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1214732 I actually had a pretty good time at my sisters birthday party Saturday night and so did Roald. Neither of us knew anyone other than my sister, but we were still able to sit and enjoy the conversations going on around us just the same. Roald and I are not big talkers, and mostly talk when someone el... Mon, 28 Jul 2008 11:54:49 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1211412 The only lovely thing about this morning was that it was sunny, even tho it's supposed to rain later. I've never seen so much rain in one summer as I've seen so far, just about every third or fourth day there's a thunder storm or just rain. At least you don't have to shovel rain,... Sat, 26 Jul 2008 11:40:19 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1207327 Today my daughter is due for her thyroid ultra sound, she was diagnosed with cancer three years ago and had her thryroid removed, you don't expect that in your 20's. I was so upset and scared for her, I couldn't even wrap my head around it. I think for my own survival and so I could help... Thu, 24 Jul 2008 05:46:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1206596 http://youtube.com/user/firelightglow  I got this bright idea that I would put a video of my dog Franky on you tube, I thought people might get a kick out of it. I love to look at funny animals on You tube myself. Have a look if you like.   Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:01:11 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1205627 I don't think I need to journal everything, I had a rough patch during the day, I should have just gone through it and not put it here. I guess I was feeling that somehow typing it out would change things, well, maybe it did, or maybe I just kicked into gear a bit. In any case, I made myself go ... Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:28:37 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1203859 Tired, bored, unmotivated, down in the dumps. I need some kind of a life other then this, sighhh, I feel like an old bag before my time. Just that kind of a day, I guess. Sometimes I don't make any sense, when I'm here I want to be somewhere else at times. When I was going through school I w... Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:20:28 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1202417 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:50:13 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1201420 We had a really good stress free day yesterday. It didn't end up raining as much as it threatened to yesterday, we could have gone to London for a walk around the " home county folk festival" but we didn't risk it. We kind of just hung out around the house, doing mundane things, wh... Mon, 21 Jul 2008 09:16:01 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1199892 Today Roald and I have been married for six years already. It may not be my first marriage, but it sure has been the right one no matter what we've faced. I don't think that, even in the face of an arguement, or other issues, that I've ever been in the presence of such a kind, lovin... Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:39:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1195995 It's been pretty quiet the last few days other then discussions after work about the smoking issue, and also our financial state that we have to sort out so we can live reasonably, at least get by. Roald has really been trying to quit and I've been thinking about what friends here have said ... Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:04:46 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/206907/journal/1193933 Before I met my husband Roald he smoked very heavily over in Holland, when he came here to live and marry me he continued to smoke, but quit soon after. I was happy about that as I'm a non smoker and told him that my home would always be a smoke free place. He seemed to have luck with the nicoti... Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:02:25 +0100
