Things just do not seem to be going right for me, right now...
It is very busy at work, we have several vacancies, and so far we seem to be unable to find the staff, so we have been working our tail off for the past months, or, rather for the past year or so.
I am taking this year's holidays on left-over holidays and overtime from last year. I am absolutely knackered, and I really need a break.
I have the next 3 weeks off, we were planning to go camping, but the weather is dreadful right now, and it seems to be rather bad all over Europe.
The day before yesterday, my PC crashed, and now I am working on a laptop, whoch is rather slow and inconvenient. I took my pc to the shop, thinking the video ard needed replacing, but it tuns out the motherboard had broken down. The processor and memory won't work on a modern motherboard, so what I need is a new pc. The only thing I can still use is the hard disk.
Yesterday, I went for my annual ****** examination, as there is a genetic predisposition for ****** cancer in our family. And they DID find something, this time. It is not adequately suspect to merit an echogram, but I do need to report in in 6 months instead of a year.
Today, I took my father to the lung specialist for his check-up. He is doing OK, considering, but hot, damp weather is very bad for him, he will have no nergy even to eat or drink (or rather: to get up and get some...). So he will have to learn to switch on the air conditioning BEFORE he feels too tired because of the heat, or to call in someone to help him. if he cannot manage. Fortunately, the specialist agreed with me that he is not a burden to anyone for asking a little help, but getting sick and requiring a lot of medical attention, he WILL be a burden to a lot of people. Hopefully, this will stimulate him to ask for help before it is too late......
All in all, I've had a **** of a week, and then, just now........
Holland won the group championship for the European Football Championships, so they are through to the quarter finals.
They still need to play one match, but they beat world champion Italy and vice-champion France, they can lose the third match and it will not matter at all, and the entire country is celebrating!!!!
No mater WHAT the weather is going to be like, we are in for a hot summer!!!!!
