Day to Day Life

It’s a beautiful day in the Netherlands today. It’s 25 degrees and the sun is shining.. You’d be able to see the weather here on my website if that damn Weather Pixie was working. I put it on my site ages ago, it was from www.weatherpixie.com, which appears to just be gone. Just like that.. *poof* I don’t know what’s …

I can’t sleep and this is why. It’s 15 degrees outside with humdity of 94% and not a breath of air. It may as well be 40 degrees. Together with the lack of screens in this country, this is the result.. mosquito bites, and lots of them. This is just one of the bites I got while trying to sleep …

Ever wonder where I sit when I type this? Well this is it! I took these pictures yesterday after Xander and I cleaned up. The livingroom used to look different and I was getting tired of it. We started out at like 9:30 moving the furniture around, throwing things away and figuring out what we wanted to do with it. …

*Yawn* It’s 7:15am now and I’m still tired but I can’t sleep. Wow, see how long it takes me to get just this far, from “Time” in the list above to writing this. I’m such a multitasker. The last week or so has been strange for me. After speaking to this Dutch guy who is living in Halifax and asking …

I’m stocked up to my eyeballs with doubt about moving home. I’m sure anyone who knows me and is reading this is thinking “FFS MAKE UP YOUR MIND!” but I’m really really confused. I’ve been back and forth like a ping-pong ball about the whole stay in Holland/move to Canada issue. I thought I was 100% sure about moving home, …

Dutch weather, they say if you don’t like it just wait five minutes and it will change. They are so right. Today was hot. Not really hot as in 40 degrees hot but more like mid-high 20’s and so fucking humid. It’s been like that the last few days. It’s like you can’t tell if you’re sweating or if the …

Well we found a washer. It didn’t really take long, we went to two different stores and bought the cheapest one we could find. It cost us 314 euros (That’s $388 American/$513 Canadian), which is about 314 euros more than I would have liked to spend. It’s going to be delivered on Friday, so I can look forward to heaps …

Yup, the washer can’t be fixed. So now we have to buy a new one, which SUCKS!! We actually had a new washer that we bought when I moved over here, but when we moved to our new apartment the guy who lived here before us was selling his appliances. They were a better make than ours but we didn’t …

Happy Day After Canada Day Everyone!! So yesterday was Canada day! What did I do? Nothing.. hehe Oh there’s a shock for you all I bet! For some strange reason they don’t celebrate Canada Day in Holland. *Shrugs* I have a cold, or at least I think I do. My throat is so sore! I’d give anything for some Halls …

BAILEY IS A NINJA!! No seriously, he really is! Last night he was sitting on my lap when a fly dared to fly by. Before I knew what was happening *CHOMP* out of nowhere Bailey snapped his mouth and caught the fly! Omg I couldn’t believe it. Yeah then he ate it, which was pretty gross but I mean he …

Christ, for some reason I can’t stop sneezing! *Blows nose*The last few days I’ve been in a bit of a “bleh” state, which is why I haven’t had a lot to say here. I’ve just been hanging out watching massive amounts of TV episodes I downloaded, sleeping, being grumpy and grouchy. Today it all ended in one huge tantrum about …
