Now that I have returned to work the weather is excellent, in fact too hot. We had some lousy days during our holidays, we even had rain.

While I am in the office having the side effects of the air condicioner, I’m thinking about all those people lying on the beach showing their bodies (a lot…

Yesterday, two years after it started, my son had his tooth work completed. It was a long journey of letting the tooth root grow enough so that the tooth could be finished. Over the last two years there were pain and tooth infections, kilometers of driving, appointments after appointments but finally it’s over. Now…

I returned to work today after 2,5 weeks at home. I was really apprehensive to return after my nasty fight with my boss the Friday before the holidays started. My office furniture was on the same place, in fact, there were no changes on my absence regarding the location of the furniture (the opposite happened…

I must confess sunflowers are not my favorite flowers because they grow way too high and I prefer to watch them in big fields where I can see them all together from the distance.

This year my son insisted in having sunflowers in the garden because he was curious about this flower…

My 40 a week working hours were turned into 50. I am under tons of papers, plastic parts and work to do. I have been too busy to write or even read other blogs. I can’t go on like this otherwise I will go nuts with so much work. I am too tired, even to write.…

From time to time I am surprised with some interesting questions from my daughter. This week she asked why do I wear two marriage rings and my husband none.

Well, first of all one of the gold rings I wear is on the right end and it is…

My car is back from repair. It is like new, the motor was all revised, new parts, it’s like a brand new 0 kilometers car.

My FIL says we will have car for more 10 years. As we couldn’t afford a new one right know, fixing the one we had was an option. Having my…

My car is being rebuilt. My FIL and BIL own a car repair shop and once I was having problems with my car they decided it was time to rebuilt it.

Engine is the same but inside all the small parts are new, meaning I will have a almost-new car for more 10 years.
