23 October 2013 - Thinking Netherlands Antilles

Last night after work I decided to go for a run as lately I'm not doing any sports. I only ran for 3.5 km but what a effort!! I do feel that I'm not going swimming anymore because my condition really sucks! I came back red as a tomatoe and I thought I was going to faint....luckily I managed to recover quite quickly and I actually felt good afterwords. Now the hard thing will be to keep up with running 2-3 times a week...the negative thing is that this morning I woke up with a slite head ache and thick eyes...
Always at this time of the year I get in some kind of depression and I always start to look for warm places where to transfer and yesterday I checked out the Netherlands Antilles. It really seems a paradise, it's around 25°C all year, perfect, and I could really immagine my self moving there! I checked work possibilities and it seems quite ok. The only thing I ask my self, how would it be living on an island? Will you not feel limited? I mean, on the island Bonaire (one of the caribbean islands) the population is 16,541, that means the have of the population in the city where I live in now....would I not get crazy?!?! But maybe the weather conditions and the life would let me forget that....I need to check some things out first and then I will make my valuation....

Bouillon with pasta

This evening I decided to prepare some bouillion with pasta. I putted some union, a few cherry tomatoes, a carrot, a celery. I added some salt, bouillion, a bit of curry, chilli peppar, some pieces of parmeggiano, olive oil and parsley. Let it boil for about 20 min and add the pasta.

Buon appetito!

A new working week has began after I quite hectic weekend.....I have to get up at 6 a.m. saturdays too as my son in going to school so actually I get up early 7 days a week....yesterday my son had his usual fotball game and unfortunately they lost, my son had 2-3 opportunities to score but he didn't had a good day yesterday so his team had to accept the loss.
Yesterday evening I made some home made bread and the usual swedish cake that I really adore. I spent 4 hours in the kitchen between cooking and baking. I was really exhaused but I was glad of the result.
Now lets see what this week has to bring.....

Have a nice day!

18 October 2013

I woke up around 6.30, tired as usual as I never manage to go to bed earlier then 11 p.m. My son didn't go to school today as the trains are on strike today so they cannot ensure that all trains will be active so I decided to let him stay at home to avoid problems and strangely he didn't object ;-)
I believe today I woke up angry as hell....we have some changes at work that makes me upset...now the managers have decided to move the start time 15 min so the flexible time starts at 8.30 instead of 8.15!! 15 min doesn't change anyting.....on the working side but for the people (including me) who is coming to work by car or public transportation changes a lot!!
Luckily today is friday and it gives me some extra energy to go through this working day with a small smile on my face...

17 October 2013 - Late

I think I was in coma last night......I woke up by myself (it's like my consciousness knew something was wrong) and looked at the clock and it was already 6.40!!!! The alarm usually goes off at 6.00 a.m. but for some reason this morning it was too tired to go off....I woke up my son, run under the shower, got dressed and I was suprised that in a half hour I was ready to leave. Then my son was late and I already was in the car waiting for him. Funny, before I went under the shower he told me he was ready....boh....I hade to rally to the train station, I seemed Schumacher.....Normally the train is always late but can you believe it, this morning it came just on time, like it knew that we were late for once!! Luckily my son manage to catch the train so after all the morning continued like every day.
Now lets see what the rest of day has to give!

Have a nice day!

Goodmorning head ache!!!
My head ache is still going strong and keeps me company since a couple days now......I'm trying to understand why it doesn't disappear....I may have a clew....stress and a lot of thoughts...
Yesterday morning we didn't have any electricity due to an unpaid invoice....one salary in the family is really heavy....every day you have to be precise in what you buy and you cannot go over line ever...let's hope that my husband manage to find work even if I think that's quite difficult as here in Italy the age is really an issue. Basically after 30 you har not interesting for the job market any more. Crazy don't you thing as you older you are the more experience you have, that means though that you have to pay more so they prefer to hire a young person with no experience giving them a trainee contract so they pay less. Incredible don't you think....
Well well, now it's only remaining 12 days to payment day so we're slowy getting closer...keeping up the hope though!

Buona giornata!!!
