The big update… sort of…
Well, as I said in the previous post, I know I have neglected the blog for quite a while now. A lot has happened since and I didn’t have the time or need to write. But here’s the summary:
- Disneyland
I’ve gone to Disneyland Paris with the kids and my parents. The travel agent hadn’t organised everything as it should. Especially all the requirements my mother needed as she’s sitting in a wheelchair. I had to arrange most of the transportation “extra’s” myself. It wasn’t my idea of a relaxed trip. Anyway, once we checked into the hotel, everything was great. The kids loved the park. Daughter was thrilled by the roalercoasters. Especially by Space Mountain. Before the trip and during ther two first days she insisted NOT to go on this roalercoaster because she was too afraid. But when we came near it on the third day she overcame her fears and she loved it. She loved it so much, she wanted to go again
Also Son enjoyed the whole trip. Not the park itself because he’s still too small, but the tobogan he likes. And he was VERY pleased to be allowed to sleep in the”big bed”. Ah, and the ventilator that was mounted to the ceiling was very interesting. Especially when he found the activation button
I was wasted the third day because of the little sleep I got. Son moves a lot while sleeping. But the kids loved it, so it was worth all the trouble! - Work
As I posted before, I was given a small monitoring role at work. The lady that was working for me loved it. She got motivated immensely and enjoyed the work she was getting from me. After a couple of weeks, unfortunately, her line-manager got a lot of extra work so now she has to work for him again. But I’m certain that my bosses have seen that I like this managerial role and that she enjoyed my engagement as well. So let’s hope that I’ll be given this role again when the workload has even out again. We’ll see, the coming week I’m (finally) receiving my objectives for this year. I wonder if anything will be mentioned there… - Dating
Yes, yes… yours truly is dating again. I’ve met this woman mostly online (we chat regularly) but have been dating now too. For personal reasons let’s call her Heffalump . The first time we met was in a park where I was going to with Son. She was there with her son as well. Son introduced her son to chips
And guess what: her son has the same name as my son. Great minds think alike? Both of us have noticed that quite a lot we think the same things at the same time. She already stated that it was as if we’ve known eachother for ages. Last Thursday, we spend the evening together again. At first we went for some pasta in the City. After that we went to a colleagues’ exhibition of his paintings. LOL When I mentioned Son to her, an old colleague of mine thought Son was the kid of me and Heffalump. Anyway, we enjoyed the exhibition and went to have a drink afterwards. We talked a lot and before we knew it it was quite late so Heffalump had to go home (her son wakes up around 630 am). Anyway, I don’t think any romance is going to happen between me and Heffalump. She’s not really looking for a relationship and frankly, although I miss the hugging part, I enjoy the freedom too much I guess. (and ofcourse: IF someone would qualify for a relationship with me, she would have to accept my Son as well. Does that rule out unconditional love?) So concerning Heffalump: friendship: yes. Relationship: No.
I had another drink on the marketplace afterwards in the City, where I met an old schoolfriend. - Family extention?
The lasty couple of days I’m also thinking of a family extention. No I’m not talking about another baby but a pet.
Since Cowspot died some time ago, I noticed I really miss the unconditional friendship animals give. Although three of Cowspots offspring come to my house for food often, it’s not the same. They are very shy so I can’t pet them.
That’s why I’m thinking of getting a couple of rats. Yes, the rodent type
Rats are very social, very intelligent creatures. The more I read about them, the more I like them… The only thing holding me back is that I’m not entirely convinced I will give them enough attention they need.
I’ve already decided what type of cage I would like, where it would be put and so on… I just have to press the “go-button”
