I have decided I am going to be a little more thrifty in the coming time. I’ve been enjoying some newfound, personal, financial freedom lately, but now I’m going to have to get back on the wagon and be a little wiser about my expenses.
This after Joasia and I just booked ourselves a nice week away to Norway and I have some dental plans coming up next week. I’ve made a plan which should fit with the upcoming plans, but I will have to see how realistic my plan is in the coming few weeks.
Of the many frustrating habits that cyclists in Amsterdam have, none is more annoying than people who try to pass waiting other cyclists at a red light, trying to get to the head of the queue, and then being the slowest people to get going once the light turns green, holding up all the people behind them. Ugh. That’s worse than them ignoring red lights, ignoring pedestrians crossing the road at a cross walk, or the ones that look at their phones while cycling.
Joasia and I are currently spending the day with her mother and her mother’s friend. Both are older and are peppering us with useless information. I don’t understand either of them so Joasia is taking the brunt of the annoyance. Looking at her deal with it is interesting since I will never know the privilege of getting annoyed at my mother or rolling my eyes at her insistence of sharing silly info with me. It makes me envious and sad.
This evening I woke up at 4:00 and felt like I was done sleeping. I played around on my phone for about an hour before falling back asleep. That’s when the nutty dreams started.
I had a dream within a dream, but I didn’t realise it. I was dreaming about something really sad and I was crying. I was afraid of waking up Joasia, so I woke up. When I saw that she wasn’t stirring, I was wondering what had made me so sad. And then I really woke up. (Or did I!?) I fell back asleep for another hour, and then I woke up again because I was once again overcome with sadness.
Wtf.
