I know I have been away too long


I have been bad about the blog lately. Yeah I know. So much going on, setting up my own business takes time, keeping up with friends take time. And I try to invest in my work blog but right now I feel the need to write and strongly.

In 2 weeks time I am going to Lithuania for a week, on my own. [will be staying with friends there] and I am restless, nervous about it and I can't figure out why, so am going to try to do that here, to write my troubles away.

What am I afraid of?
  • getting ill. This is not far fetched. I am prone to headaches, especially when I am nervous. And the last time I was in Lithuania [with a collegue and only 3 days] food was a problem.Yeah I have a delicate stomac as well, such a healthy body. and lately my right knee has been playing up cramping when I have to sit still in the backseat of cars for too long.
  • getting bored. How many books to take, no laptop [space and weight]
  • Highly sensitive playing up. It does when I am not feeling well and in a strange place.
  • Language, I speak no lithuanian, and my friends do not speak english fluently.
But really I am inventive. I have managed with language before, they have a computer and there is always google translate.
HSP, by now I do stick up for my own good. I take alone time when I need it. Am I only afraid I can't get it across to them? Or do I feel guilty taking it when there are 2 kids involved? Probably. But I just need to get it across and do what is good for me. Yeah that is still tough.
Getting bored? Really, I will probably take too many book, I tiny movie player, some travel games. They have a sjoelbak and a pool. Bored, yeah right. Maybe not.

I think that leaves the food as the biggest problem. It is so embarressing to tell a hostess her food makes you ill. I will make sure I will have all kinds of medication with me. Not sure how common it is to get there now. In 1997 the gap between east and west was still pretty big. But again I have to do what is good for me and try to keep the unease down.

Let's not even mention the flying, I hate flying!!!! LOL

But there is so much to see, and my camera is going to love it there. My friends are great people who I love spending time with.

Why I am such a silly goose when it comes to holidays? I have it before every holiday, but some like a scary one like this, some more then others.

Sixth holiday blog

We are coming to the end of my holiday. Friday was the last day of sightseeing and we had selected Porthsmouth. Again not too far a drive from Winchester. Here you can see two great historic ships. The first is HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar. Last time I was here you went in with a guided tour, now it was selfguided. And I remem bered correctly how hard it is on us who are a bit taller. With 1.84 it is not fun. And the poor captain of the boat was 1.93. While would anyone of that length want to enter the navy of that time is beyond me. We all enjoyed the tour very much and after this one we went to the Mary Rose museum. She is a Tudor royal ship, named after Henry VIII's favorite sister. There is about half of the ship left and it is still being sprayed with a solution to save her. Amazing that it sunk almost 500 years ago. This year in September she will be dry and then they will preserve her and build a new museum that will open in 2012. I do want to come bac...

Flow!

Image
Flow is a wonderfull thing, it makes you creative and you want to keep going and going without ever stopping what you are doing. But.... if you are a chronic sufferer like me, it has it's drawbacks. I function very well if I take many a n to my practice in fact. It came to me last week. I don't have my own space for sessions so I have to rent. I like to communicate with people all over the world and already want to work with people from foreign countries who live in the Netherlands. Why not branch out to internet coaching? And use modern techniques as voice and video on the computer. I could then branch out to people who are thinking about moving and give them advice. And even do regular counseling/coaching for people who find it hard to come to my location. nd long breaks throughout the day. And well that kinda breaks the flow. finding my way in this process has taken me a long time. And I am there now, most of the time. This week I found it very difficult to stop in time, bef...

Dutch drivers

Image
There are days that I hate Dutch drivers! I had to take my dad to the hospital this morning for a check-up and of course it as during rush hour. In town I have to cross a point were it is almost impossible to get on the road at that hour because nobody will let you in. So I avoided this point by taking a detour and ended up there on the right road. Now I was thinking about the other people who have trouble merging in. And I let one car in what all the cars ahead of me didn't do. But then the other cars waiting pushed their way in in front of me. And that makes me mad!!!! you try to help and then they take advantage of you. Not good! At the hospital which we made with minutes to spare we found out that the doctor had been stuck in traffic and there was a 45 minutes delay. Grrrrrr not a nice morning. Started a new book this morning when I got home. romantic historical novel set in the time of Charles I. It is a new writer for me, so it is wait and see. I like a good story in my roma...
