Dec 30
My kingdom for some sleep…
OK you guys… I’m exhausted… I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night…
STFU! No! Not for a reason remotely like that… God! I wish!
Then again, I don’t have any usable condoms in the house anyway… so, maybe just as well…
I am feeling funny… Like I usually do when the year is drawing to a close…
The past year kind of withers thru my mind…
And this big huge enormous daunting new year is staring at me from the other side…
Just a few days away…
I know, I know… A new year with all brandnew opportunities and shit…
You don’t have to tell me that…
I KNOW!
But it doesn’t feel like that right now, for no particular reason…
I am not scared of it or whatever… It just feels daunting to me for some reason…
And the fact that the phonecalls from The Kid haven’t ceased (one/day) isn’t helping much…
I had a problem getting to sleep last night…
I never ever have a problem getting to sleep… EVER…
I saw the clock turn 01.00 a.m. and 02.00 a.m. and then…
It continued until 6.30 a.m. I think… then I fell asleep for about an hour or so…
I will be fine, don’t worry about me, puh-lease…
Tomorrow I will be busy baking mini-sateh’s and appelflappen…
And then I’ll drive over to my friend’s place to spend NYE…
I will be meeting nice people there and we’ll have a Sjoel competition…
We’ll eat oliebollen and appelflappen and have champagne…
I’ll be staying the night and be back home January 1…And The Kid will be back on January 2…
And today I will snuggle up on the couch and try to catch up on some sleep…
Latah!
Good mornight Dutchie :)
I didn’t get enough sleep either. It must be going around…
I can mail you a copy of the United States Tax Code. It is quite capable of replacing sleep inducing meds.
I don’t know what it is about the end of a year that has me feeling the same way. As if to think, “look at all the shit I never did this last year and how can I get it all done before the calendar turns?”.
I need a drink ;).
FroggyWoogie: LOL, goodmorning Hon
Fab: Yeah, I did notice on Crackbook. I should’ve Skyped you!
Marty: Send it over, babe!
Hilly: Exactly the feeling I have. And so stupid, as we are both pretty positive people… I need a drink too… Wodka?
I’ve not been sleeping worth shit for the last few weeks. I hate it. I’m trying my hand at making some oliebollen tomorrow night. I’ve never done it from scratch before, always a mix that I’ve ordered from a dutch food importer so we’ll see what happens. It can’t be THAT hard, right? If I don’t get to talk to you, I hope you have a wonderful NYE. Wish I was there! Next year!
I’m overwhelmed by the new year and really pulling this wedding together. Eeek!
Damn… can I come to your place for New Years?? That sounds great!
My friends and I are just going bowling…how boring, huh???
Happy New Year Dutchy!!!!
Just keep in mind that the new year is simply an arbitrary date invented by scientists as a rule of thumb and followed by the masses because we can’t come up with anything better. January 1 is just another day, except you get to tear up any number of checks because you put the wrong year on them.
ThatBitchyChick: Good Luck on the oliebollen! Never done those, as I don’t have (nor want) a deep frying pan
Robin: you will do it and it will be fantabulous!
Cinnkitty: Well, you can but you’d be better off coming to my g/f place, where the party is, LOL
JustDave: That’s true. Thanks for that. That did help!
