Todays story:

Yesterday i totally screwed up my sleeping schedule. After mom and dad brought there dogs i went back to bed. Slept from 8 till 12 and made it a total sleep of 6 hours what is actually ok. The rest of the day i did stay lazy and mostly played WoW and poker online. At 3 am i finally went back to bed. I just woke up at lunch time. Feeling tired in all my bones. I'm so tempted to open WoW again and waist another day.

Todays story:

Todays story is a real early story. Its 6 am and i'm still awake. I slept for 2 hours When i woke up, i was fully awake and laying in my bed thinking stupid things. I got out and played world of warcraft till in the hope i would get sleepy. I tried sleeping again at 5 but it didn't work. Think this is the first time in my life i can't sleep more than 2 hours. Years ago i could sleep 24 hours a day. This is totally new for me. Somewhere today i must crash. I gave up hope and made a cup coffee, just as i slept enough and starting a normal day. Posting my blog and work on some pictures. Todays picture is the last from the series i made in and around Naarden with the Canon Rebel. Tomorrow i gonna post a Hasselblad image again.

Todays story:

I thought i had to be at my unemployment officer at 10:30 but after i posted my yesterdays blog i did get ready to take a shower. I turned on the shower and started to doubt if it really was 10:30. I turned the shower off and went to my computer to discover i had the meeting at 10. It was already 9:35 and there wasn't time to shower anymore or i would be late. There was no time to go by car either or i had to pay for my parking. I did decide to take my bicycle and as soon as i was rushing on my bike to my appointment it started to snow. Rushing trough big flakes of snow that turned me into a snowman i arrived in time for my appointment. My unemployment officer was weird and when say good morning and shake hands, he obvious didn't like it. Ok, i didn't shower today but i'm not dirty. The preach i did expect didn't happen, that was a good thing, but it was so obvious that it didn't mind what i did say. He told his story as it was a recorded tape and we made a new appointment. I had to pick up a friend at 12 and bring him to the hospital and as soon as i could go, i left. It took ages cause he had to type everything into the computer and i started counting ceiling plates. From his working island at the end of the hall, i could see it did stop snowing and the snowman on me was gone now. But as soon as i hopped on my bicycle it started snowing again. This time i had frontal wind too and my face was hurting, my jeans was soaked and cold and rotating the pedals as fast as i could didn't warm them up anymore.On the front of my jacket was a 3 cm thick layer of snow when i finally arrived home. I quickly took a warm shower to defrost myself. The warm water on my red cold leg felt like it was burning. It was a while ago when we had as much snow as we have this year. I like it and snow makes me happy and that i became an snow (ice)man twice today i take for granted. Still better than those grey winters with icy rains ,we had in the last couple years.

Todays story:

Like i have a job, i woke up at the alarm clock at 8. But i don't have a job. I have to see my unemployment officer today and i feel awful. Its like i have to see the principal of school after doing something wrong and you prepare for the worse. For some reason unemployment officers always treat you as guilty for being lazy, not want to work and to stupid to know how to find a job.

Todays story:
Finally cleaned another Hasselblad image and today i did pick up my Hasselblad. There was a little peace of paper stuck and blocked the mechanics. woohoo i'm, back in Business. We left and early and it did snow tonight. The road had ice on it and most part we could drive 50km/h. But when i could hold my Hassie again i was the happiest man on earth.
