I’ve been running around for a week or so. Lots of things to be done and very little time to do them.  

My hamster seems to be doing OK. I mean, she’s still alive. She eats and runs around, so that’s great considering tomorrow she has surgery planned. Even the vet told me that it would be much cheaper to get a new hamster, but as long as Martinica eats and is as lively as ever I won’t put her down. She doesn’t seem to be in any pain from the lump so why not give her the chance to live for another couple of months?

Truthfully, I doubt I will get another pet after Martinica.

Besides worrying about my little furry friend, I have to worry about the upcoming wedding we have to attend (we = me and Johnny). The wedding is happening in less than two weeks and we are not prepared at all. Johnny’s suit needs cleaning and Johnny needs a new shirt. I don’t have anything to wear (no dress, no shoes, nothing planned at all). Did I mentioned I need to color my hair and get a haircut?

Oh and the next weekend we’re going to the mountain side, and during the week we’re going to visit some relatives of Johnny from Moldova.

I doubt the fact that I will get everything done.

P.S.: With all the running around I still noticed that Autumn is here and that is just awesome. Hopefully I will take beautiful pictures of the Moldavian landscape.

How is it possible for such a small animal to grow such a big lump under his leg in just one night?

I am now very sad, because I don’t know what it is and I want to take her to the vet. But, I’m at work and I just can’t leave just because my hamster is sick.

This is gonna be a really long day.

I was reading on Wikipedia about Shirley Temple today.

While I was reading, I thought to myself “What if every normal person would have their own biography on Wikipedia, what would that be like?”

Besides the fact that there are over 6 billion people in the world, wouldn’t that be interesting? To just pick a person and read about what they did in life and where they are now, even if they are normal people living normal lives.

Then I woke up back to reality. I remembered what kind of people live in this world and just having all that information lying around wouldn’t be a smart thing.

But still, what would a Wikipedia page tell about me? I bet it might not be a long biography.

I’ve put on standby my cat gobelin because I was getting bored of it.

It isn’t fun to work on something that you have no more interest in. I didn’t realize it would take so much time to finish it. I thought “Oh, 20 x 20 cm, that isn’t a big gobelin, it won’t take much longer than a month to finish it.” Well, I think I will finish my cat gobelin in 2-3 months from now.

It’s nice to be able to put aside things knowing that you can finish them later.  

So, I started a new gobelin with tulips. It’s much smaller and it’s easier to work on. I was curious on how many hours it would take me to finish a small gobelin and this is the result of 13 hours of stitching:

There are 4 blocks of stitching like this one, meaning I can finish it in 2 weeks top, if I work on it on a daily basis (but I won’t promise anything). That would be really cool, because, this way I would have tulips in my room all the time, not just during spring.

  But I realized I can’t be happy when I’m tired.

 I have so many reasons to be happy.  

• In less than two weeks Johnny is coming home.
• Yesterday I applied for the IELTS test at British Council here in Bucharest. This is something I’ve wanted to do for years but never got the chance.
• Supernova, one of my favorite boy bands is releasing a new single. I really like them a lot.
• I’m almost half way to finish my third gobelin (not my cat gobelin but my tulips gobelin).
• I got money in my pocket.
• I am in my new office which is all cleaned and nice, plus it’s quiet and very relaxing.
• Even if it’s hot outside, I know autumn is just around the corner.
•  The annoying co-worker is on a 2 week vacation. I consider it as my own personal vacation … from her.

 And, everything is falling into place really nice and there’s nothing going wrong right now.

 I’m in a happy spot, but I can’t enjoy because I’m tired. Yesterday I should’ve been jumping for joy after I registered for the IELTS test (which is on 25 September). But I was gloomy, I was tired and I was so hot (from the heat okay) that I just wanted to get home and take a shower.

 Being tired sucks.
