If I start on Saturday....
In my BIL's home from 11-5
Sunday
ADHD-café (support group we organise every month) from 2-5.
Monday
Daytime: to Utrecht to drop Kees of at his work, so he had a chance to talk vis-a-vis to some people after working at home for a couple of months. My friend Luus drove along for company and together we drove to my other friend Babs and we had lunch together.
Evening: pretty stressful sortof visit to a support group of the ADHD-centre here in the Hague. People I've been trying to contact through mail, throug phone, through therapists for nearly three years, because they have a training for support and I'm wondering why Kees and I aren't invited, aren't included in this training because we run our support group for more than six years now. I would like to share my expertise but I'd also like to gain more knowledge to share in my own ADHD-cafe. And if they don't want me, why don't they tell me? So I decided to go to their own group and ask them in their face.
For quite some time I'm pretty good. Much better than I was, much more assertive, etc etc. So this monday evening I was there, stuttering, nearly in tears, feeling like a beggar. "O yes, i remember your name". "No, I didn't contact you, we don't have time atm or money". I was so frustrated and I knew it was not the good time to go, because of this busy busy week, etc etc. He said he'd contact me. I asked him if he would be surprised if I said I wasn't feeling a lot of trust in that promise. Harumpf.
Well. He tried to call me today (I just got his email). But of course this week my mobile phone number isn't working because I'm in the process of changing providers. Hehe.
Tuesday
Workday. Busy busy workday.
In the morning I had to take notes for the secretary job I applied for. After that I managed to squeeze in some working hours and later in the afternoon I had an appointment with the employment department of my (and a few other) ministeries. I made that appointment before I applied for the new job of course. I want to keep these appointments, because we are trying to work out exactly what jobs would work for me and how I can perfect my CV and my letters.
In the evening I went to the
theatre with Kees.
Wednesday
Workday. Normal. Busy. Because I wasn't there much on Tuesday and not at all today.
Evening: Theatre again (with Luus):
Mother Courage by Brecht. Great performance!
Today:
C2C symposium in Almere. I had the train at 7:38 and was back in the Hague at 6:30pm. Because the train didn't go to our own station here in Rijswijk (fire in one of the trains in the tunnel... no trains between the Hague and Rotterdam). From The Hague with the bus to my BIL's home for the meeting of the sibbling-council.
Guess who is cooking tomorrow?
he...
Not me!
I'm not doing anything tomorrow.
That is... I will have to work out the notes I took Tuesday. I managed to get half done yesterday, but the rest had to wait till tomorrow. And I have to write a column for Saturday. A column about children. I can't say: I don't like children so this is a short column. This was it.
The guys have the decency to sit in the sitting room, watching TV and leaving me here on my own. PC. Radio. Reading. Writing.
After Saturday it will quiet down a bit. Just a bit, but enough.
