Hey now that's the world
April has arrived and it's kind of starting to feel like spring. Especially after Kuopio where there was literally a meter of snow, except two in piles mountains. (I've never seen so much snow on our front yard!) It was good ok to spend a week there in Easter. Turned out to be lots of cleaning and worrying of mom's health.
M moved in 2 weeks ago. At times it's felt nice, at times frustrating, like at the moment when he's spent some 3-4 hours at band rehearsal place fixing his pedal board, and I've been doing laundry and cooking for us and waiting for him to arrive so that I could finally eat - hungryyyy! He just informed after a silence of 2,5 hours that it will take at least until 5pm when he's back. Great to hear, my lunchtime is around noon and I get cranky otherwise. Luckily I put the food in oven and I'll eat when it's ready.
We're still fixing the home regularly, piles of unsorted things are getting smaller and things finding their place. We're always happy when a jar or something gets emptied so that we can throw it away.
For a couple of nights I've woken up in the middle of the night, and I believe the biggest reason for that is what happened at work before Easter. H told that in a month he'd leave us for a paid trainee job in web development at a big media company. It will last at least 9 months, so until the end of 2018. He might come back, or then not. We're hiring someone to fill up his place, at least partly, as no other living person can be H. :( I'm still in some kind of a shock. I've often thought that if/when H will leave the zoo, I will have to leave too. That's how important he is. I'm afraid I will now lose the motivation for work. Currently T has been moved to school building and I don't have any friends at the office. Sigh. Actually I now remember that when I woke up I had a dream where our boss said the salaries won't go up so that all the older workers should just leave...
But hey, it's just a matter of finding the optimism... (Maybe I gotta find try to find from the stuffed shelves the book Tanja gave me a couple of years ago.) I've got Photoshop and a trial version of Premiere Pro on my computer (thanks to work) and H has promised to give me an introduction of video editing. Here's my first "video" I managed to export while cooking. The message fits. :) Now I'm gonna go and eat.
