Today.....

I woke up this morning with a mayor headache; the weather change is the guilty party here. My lovely bratty li’ll dog Max was really obnoxious this morning as well, it’s like he knows I have a headache. Right now he is lying in his chair sound asleep, thank god for small favors LOL. He doesn’t know it yet, but he has to take a bath today. I gave him a haircut on Monday but he needs his bath. I don’t want to do things last minute before we leave for our vacation, I hate last minute stress! Its ten days until we leave but I have several jobs, so good organization is really important here.


Although on vacation, I probably will get some work done. Maybe this sounds crazy but I can’t do nothing all day, even when I’m on vacation. I’m so used to being busy every day, and I love writing so work is a bit of a hobby too.


I landed myself a new job today, blog writing, I love to write blogs so, I’m very happy. I’m used to copywriting and blog writing is something totally different. That’s the beauty of different jobs it never gets boring.



Edit:

The headache is almost gone now thanks to a Swiss remedy, espresso with a bit of fresh lemon juice.

My weekend!

Hubby Max and I we all had a good time yesterday visiting friends, we had a nice dinner outside because after the rain was gone the sun came out again. After dinner we went for a long walk with when we walked along the golf course Max ran up the driving range to play with the golf balls, it was hilarious. I let him, because the driving range was deserted.

I got some work done today; I work on weekends and even when I’m on vacation LOL. That’s the beauty when working as a freelancer. The downside however is that I don’t have work on a regular basis. Thank god I still have a steady job even if it’s only 10 hours a week.

I even took the time to finish the book I was reading. I love Sunday it’s the best day of the week because on Sunday I really only do what I want. Whether it’s work like writing articles, reading, spending my day playing adventure games on my laptop or doing some housework, it just doesn’t matter.



Right now I’m finishing my last article while watching TV, *Witch Hunting in Europe*.

Royal Canine, books and…..

I wrote this blog over several hours of today!



I read some awful stuff yesterday about Royal Canine (animal food company). They actually did sponsor bear fights. The poor bear is tight-up to a tree with a very short rope. Then they release the dogs to tear the bear apart, that’s stuff for the worst nightmares, right? It was even in the Dutch and German news. The company made some lame excuse, you know the ones that the feel they have to do to keep us animal lovers happy (They didn’t know) Yeah, right! Well tough shit I along with many others gave them a piece of my mind.

It looks like we get some rain later on today, outside it’s hot no sun. I just put the fan in place so my workspace keeps cool. I can’t write if it’s too hot, my brain gets all fuzzy. I bought Max a collar that cools him down it’s called Aqua Cool-Keeper LOL.

It’s getting dark outside really fast now, so I think the rain and thunder will start soon. If it gets any darker I’ll have to turn on the lights (chuckle).

Edit: 2 PM
I just turned on the lights because it’s too dark to see the keyboard properly.
I still have problems writing my articles, and for the life of me I don’t know why. I’m still 4 articles behind; I guess I will finish those on Saturday or Sunday.

Rain and thunder are starting and Max is barking like mad, he’s terrified of the thunder and lightning, poor pooch.

Edit: 5 PM

I’ll start with dinner soon fresh salmon with pasta so yummy. I still have three articles to write, I’ll continue tomorrow writing all three of them. Have to do it in the morning hours because I’ll be away for most of the day. That’s it for now after dinner I will take some time to read, right now I’m at book three from the Unmated at Midnight series by Joyee Flynn!

A wonderful week....

Finally summer has arrived, even in the shade it’s too hot to work outside. So I’m in the house writing articles (Yes I’m writing my articles again). I don’t have AC in my house, but I have a very good ventilator and it’s doing a great job keeping me cool behind my desk.  Max is inside too he doesn’t like the heat very much.

We are preparing for our upcoming vacation, 3 weeks we will be gone WHOOP, WHOOP. We will travel through Germany into Switzerland, I just love the mountains.  The black forest in Germany has some awesome camping grounds, in the middle of Mother Nature, I love it.

We just bought li’ll Max a cooling collar, it’s very simple you put the collar into very cold water for about 15 minutes then let it dry. Once the collar is completely dry you can put it on your dog and it cools the dog for up to 5 days, cool uh?  There is a new pet store that opens in 2 days and because it’s a brand new store they have 20% discount on all everything. So we will go to the opening of the new pet store and buy supplies for Max (he gets his own holiday surprise box).

Right now I’m busy finishing up my articles and then I have to leave for work, my college has her 3 weeks of vacation so I have to work her hours as well.

CRY, One direction and ………..

I spend the weekend in London to participate in the CRY WALK event (Cardiac Risk in the Young). I flew in on Friday because I always meet up with friends, that way I spend the whole weekend in London. To fly in for one day would just be insane, so I always make it a three day stay. 

Because of the weather we spend a lot of time at the Princess Diana Memorial Fountain, just sitting and dangling my feet in the cold water was so great. We had our lunch in also in Hyde Park under the trees in the shade, it was simply wonderful. We had dinner in Soho in a cozy Italian restaurant, the food was delicious.


While walking (CRY WALK) on Sunday, we saw the boy-band One Direction, it was hilarious all the screaming girls hahaha. While one of the bridges we witnessed a booting accident. Thank god the all people who were in the boot were rescued, they didn’t wear life vest. To land in the Thames without wearing a life vest is life threating, because you can’t swim in the Thames, the streaming is just too strong and will drag you under.


So today it’s back to the usual all day stuff, I’m still on the hunt for job but I’m nearly finished editing.

Job hunting, writing and packing……..

Book editing goes well, I’m pleased to say! I rewrote a few scenes and it all looks perfect now (big grin). The weather isn’t so great right now, a lot of rain but I don’t mind.

I’m still on the hunt for a job and it amazes me again and again when I see that people who passed their English exam and then apply for a job, writing in such a bad English language it gives me the creeps! I asked myself how they did it. How did they pass the English exam when their reply in the English language is full of grammar and spelling error?


Today I’ll start packing my suitcase for my trip to London on Friday. My plane takes off at 7 AM so I have to rise and shine very early. I don’t mind taking an early flight, taking an early flight means I’m able to spend the whole day in London. If I would take a plane in the afternoon, I  only would have the evening in London, see what I mean? ;) LOL

A normal day!

Right now I’m on the lookout for some translations jobs. I just love and need the challenge. Also, I’m nearly finished editing my novel. I’m sitting in the garden while searching for translation jobs and doing some editing in between LOL.



In two days I leave for London to participate in a charity event. When in London I’ll meet up with many friends who I only see once a year. The weather forecast is outstanding for the weekend I’m so happy.

Well there isn’t much else, so that’s it for today!
