Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
| Amazingly enough I found a guy living in the village next to mine on an international dating site ! That has never happened to me before since I lived in this small town ! And another guy I'm chatting with is from Leuven, the city where I'm going to study. He seems to be someone who can hold a conversation, which is always a good point. I have to be kept interested intellectually ! Today I got up at 8.30 (which is the usual hour I get up now that it's light at 7 am) and I was just thinking about how different getting up has become since I don't work anymore. I remembered all the stress of getting up at 6.30, getting ready for my work, ironing my clothes for that day, feeding the cats, taking a shower, put on my make-up... well all the routine things that I performed like on automatic pilot in those days. I compared : now I like to get up because it's a new day for learning, but back then I used to hate getting up because I just hated my job, I hated the daily train rides too. I never realized how bad it was until after I stopped working. I have never felt so relieved in my whole life ! Also since I am on anti-anxiety medication I don't spend half of my bedtime worrying about a thousand and one things - especially money issues. I just don't care anymore (that's not so good either but it's still better than being constantly anxious). Even now that I have these loan problems I still don't care. I try to think about it as less as possible - which is now working. A few months ago it didn't : the more I said to myself "don't think about it"; the more I actually thought about it. I guess there is time for worrying when something really ís going on. This morning I went shopping with my mother. We went to the little store in town, then to the pharmacist (I also needed injection needles for my diabetic cat), then to the animal supplies store to get food. I took the usual Maine Coon food which is really becoming expensive since all those cats eat so much. And my mother urged me to try another kind of cat food which was cheaper. I have mixed the two together and they seem to like it. Let's hope it stays that way ! My mother said she found it too expensive to feed four cats with the expensive Maine Coon food. I don't understand her sometimes. She buys expensive coats but will spend as little as possible on food (be it for animals or for us). She just has funny standards I guess. And after that we went to the superstore where I got a few office supplies too. I offered to pay them, but my mother said she was going to pay all of the stuff we bought there. That wasn't very expensive but anyway, I sometimes think her priorities are mixed up when it comes to money
