Money for one year

Survived 2 days of work (not too bad, but I feel it in my legs, standing and walking for 9 hours is not so nice for my feet and other weird problems I get after standing so long...). Next time I work is Wednesday, today I am going swimming to the stadium, tomorrow we go to Hanko to Mickes parents summer cottage and then I think I'll go to our summer cottage in Lohjo the beginning of next week. I enjoy having a lot of free time, especially now in summer. Just reading books and enjoying life. I am lucky!

I am now in 27+4 pregnency weeks. Today I got a letter from Kela saying I will got money from them until 7.7.2010. 551 euro a month (minus 20% taxes, or, not totally sure about that, have to read it again) and I will get the box with babystuff in 2 weeks. So exctied about that! Not about the amount of money, but I am grateful we have this system in Finland and we will survive.

This is the box for year 2009

The baby has started moving around/kicking in a different manner so I can't see it as good as before, so yesterday I was quite worried and tried getting it to move but it did not want to at all. After 15 minutes it did and I was happy again!

Tired

Life is back to normal. Nothing special. Worked Tuesday and yesterday, and will work tomorrow again. And then we will go to our summer cottage for the weekend and just relax and eat.

Oh, I passed to bachelor thesis course, with a megalow grade, have never got such a bad grade in anything, but I passed and I guess the problem was that my motivation has not been the highest... Don't really know if I should care and worry a lot about this, or just forget it and be happy one phase is over. Guess I go for the second option.

My body is very tired today, no energy for anything. Blah.

Boring workdays

Today and tomorrow I work again. Hopefully it will not be as stressful as last Wednesday, I am so used to calm harmonic days and my body is not up for too much running.

Tonight I will be home all alone, and have to sleep all alone, which is quite nice since then I have to bed all to myself. I like my space when I sleep. Our bed is 160 cm. Micke is going to a friend for a game evening/night. That means a lot of alcohol and boy stuff and then he will just be too lazy to come home.

Waitressing

Yesterday was a horrible day at work. Feel sorry for those who actually work there, since they probably have to go back there today, or then they were there on Tuesday. My body is totally dead from yesterday.

It was horrible because we had many customers, annoying customers and too few waitresses. The greatest thing I managed to do was to fell a tray of Pepsi, wine and a galss bottle of mineralwater between 2 tables. Luckily I did not hit anybody, and the fluid did not touch anybody, but the time it took to clean could have been spent better. Was quite ashemed, tried making sad jokes about the airport as a dangerous place... After this nothing worked. You know there are a lot of things for a waitress to do and many things to remember, so I hope no one thinks waitressing is an easy job. It is not. Yesterday I had 13 tables to look after, each table can seat 4 persons. For these tables I have to do: bring fork and knife, take orders, bring drinks, bring food, maybe bring some more drinks or something that is missing, ask for desert, take out coffees, bring the bill, clean the table from the plates and finally clean the table before the next customers come. That is about 8 tasks . And then when all the 13 tables want me to do some of the tasks, for example bring the bill, then it is chaos!!!

This morning I still somehow found the energy to be the perfect wife. Made some coffee and american pancakes for Micke to the bed. Tought that would wake him up. But no, he ate the pancakes, drank some coffee and continued sleeping.

1 month ago

Yei. Today we have been married for a month. There have been shorter marriages.

Yesterday I worked, today I work and tomorrow I write. Hopefully. Took some job so I become more stressed and more motivated to write, and also because we need the money. Micke also worked yesterday and today. Money, money, money...

I saw some of our official wedding pictures yesterday, taken by Nina Ahtola, and they were so great. I love them.

Mi fin de semana

Glöggrundaa was not, again, a hit for me. I am quite ashemed and embaressed over myself. I really wanted to be happy and see a lot of nice people and not be in the shape I was now. But this was the last time. Then I am married and I will behave. There was just something in the Turku air (and maybe in all the drinks I mixed) that made me go crazy and feel sick. Stupid. Luckily Micke was there, and Lee too, and they took care of me. I think.

Otherwise the weekend was great. Expecially Saturday. A great hangover day. Some spent in Turku (a great, great city) with subway, pepsi max and friends, then to Pojo to eat christams food with my mom and than back to Helsinki to sleep in our great bed.

Yesterday again was a horrible, horrible day at work. We had big, big problems with our machines, so no order went to the kitchen, we had to write them by hand and we had only 2 machines out of 4 working and they were megaslow and it was not nice at all. My patience was out.

Today I have my bananapresentation, whish is not yet done. Have to get it done now. Starting now.

Glöggrundan, soon we come!

I was very lovly lovy yesterday. Now I am not anymore. Now I am normal again. But happy.

Just had my second last presentation before christmas, have my last one next Monday (about bananas in Spanish), have no exams before christmas, me, micke, pedu, tanja, lee, dagny and steffen are all going to be at glöggrundna next Firday, there is a lot of snow outside and I feel good (even if I have not worked out for weeks, I blame the flue!).

Today I work from 13-22. Hope the planes are on time today.

work in storm

Yesterday was a bit more hectic than usual at work. All the flights were delayed and we had a lot of hungry, sad customers. Luckily it was Sunday and I got double salary.

Messy me.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but nothing goes as planned anymore. I am always, at least used to be, very sharp, I don't forget, loose or mess-up things. This last week I have done it so many times.
It started with not having my passport with me and messing up everybody's Milan trip. Today I forgot my working shoes at home, so had to walk around in rubber boots at work for 8 hours, and I walk a lot as a waitres. I don't get my schoolstuff done and I am just a mess.

Is it the dark, rainy fall (it has still not snowed in Helsinki)? Or my flue? Or that I feel stressed? Or that I miss my poor husband to be?

He is out in the dark rainy woods with no toilet, no pillow, only a thin matress and a sleeping bag, a lot of responsability and only boys and guns and bears around him. Don't like the finnish army when they take him away from me for a week. I need my hugs and kisses.

Worse work momet ever

Today I threw milk on a dad and his daughter, and myself. I should have been shot. I am so embaressed. The poor man got a milk shower from up the air. Such a good start for their trip.
