As usual I'm very very busy. Still leaving my house at 7:30 in the morning and getting home at 9:30 at night. Doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else. And I manage okay. But then if something extra happens which requires my attention I get stressed really easily because I JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME.
So when Gib poked his eye YET AGAIN almost 2 weeks ago and I had to do all my normal stuff plus organize the vet and how to coordinate that with work....stress. Well, the hole was quite deep and it healed slowly, but its healed now though he's still on medication.
Friday evening was the first time I've been to the movies since April. It was a friend's birthday and he wanted to see the Simpsons movie. So I was supposed to leave work at four so I could be in town on time to pick up the tickets plus buy him a present with another friend. I was slightly late leaving work and became even later while trying to park the car on the inner yard of my mom's place. I turned off the engine while opening the gate to the yard and when I wanted to drive in the car didn't start anymore. I was in quite a hurry and quickly recruted 4 men to push me into the yard. Ran into town, got the tickets, met up with my one friend, bought the other friend one of those swiss-army-knife-type knives, met up with the birthday friend, saw the movie and then we went to dinner. A small Italian place in Töölö.
The following day I looked under the hood. Seems I was completely out of coolant, though the car had been serviced at the beginning of the summer. Just added some distilled water, so need to fix that today or tomorrow. Right now I'm at my mom's summerhouse. Seems to be the only place I have time to update my journal, though I soon have to go mow the lawn again.
First though I must say the blueberries and black currants are the best they've been in years. Quite addicting. They've been lovely for three weeks, now they're slowly starting to shrivel up. The summer is slowly coming to an end.....
As is my summer job, which I have enjoyed despite the fact that it does leave me very tired....
And as is Didi's pregnancy, 8 days to go...... Now she's really BIG.
