Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
| Well the last couple of days sure have been unpleasant. Not only have I still struggled with illness myself, but my father also got ill. The same as me, he thought... but when the doctor came to visit him it was obvious that there was something wrong with his lungs too. This is not the first time, so the doc comes back every day now to give him injections, and he also has to use the aerosol-machine (which he doesn't do often enough...). My father is a very unpleasant man when he's sick, because he acts like it's the whole wide world's fault (and especially my mother's and mine), and is usually just sitting in his sofa with his eyes closed and a face that resembles more like a thundercloud. Yesterday he got into a fight with my mother because there was a misunderstanding with the injections the doctor had to give him (my dad thought he was missing a prescription, which wasn't true, but he only found that out when he especially phoned the doc this morning !!). Needless to say the general mood around here is very tensed. I try to not care too much about all that and usually spend my time in my room. It would be all too easy to be dragged into the fight either by my mother (most likely) or by my dad himself. It wouldn't be the first time they implicitly ask me to choose sides, and since I noticed that, I deliberately try to avoid it. I'm not the judge around here ! But the general tensions around the house caused me to lack sleep - last night I only slept three hours !
I slowly started writing again, but I have difficulties to concentrate on one particular story. The one I'd like to finish most is Gabriel and Elisabeth (I haven't found a title for this series yet), but I'm also working at my dream fiction about Guy - my everlasting lost love that I haven't seen in more than thirteen years
The weather has been very good for the last couple of days and so we have a new proliferation of all kinds of unwanted insects. Especially ticks !! Argh, I hate ticks ! They claw themselves into the cats and are sometimes numerous, yesterday Mica had two and Conaire and Cormac one each. Grimnir doesn't go outside much right now (I think he's so easily tired, poor thing), so he didn't have ticks yet. But for the other cats, always sniffing around and being adventurous in trees and fields, they are a real plague. The ticks are early this year : in February there were already some. Too bad the winter wasn't cold enough to eradicate them - but I heard a tick can resist up to minus 16 degrees C, so that's a vain hope !
Today I'm scheduled to see the priest in Averbode. I haven't told my parents anything - they don't have to know that religion is taking a place in my life. The only thing I would get out of it are more comments, so I'd rather keep it to myself. I am a little nervous though, and have no idea at all about how this conversation will go. I don't even know what to say ! I guess once I get there it will all fall into place, but up till now I'm still wondering how to begin that conversation ! |

. Thoughts and ideas enough, but I should try to learn to be more more patient. I have all these ideas swirling in my head. Ragnarok, my fantasy novel, is also one of those I started working on again. At the moment I'm creating the "actors and actresses" of the story and am doing a lot of drawing, mostly faces. Since I'm not good enough at inventing faces all on my own, I take them from magazines - where the difficulty is that most faces you see in magazines are young and beautiful and mostly female. I also need elderly women, elderly men and some ugly people
