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.
