Strange dream....

Got up too late....about noon...

Usually I don't remember my dreams at all...but today I definitely dreamt my first love... I remember that he came out of a house and was looking at me , then we went somewhere together...that's all I remember from my dream...plus the feeling that it was soo great to see him... Why? Why I had such a dream? It seemed nothing could recall about him.

MORNING....



Just sent email to friend with the story I have been copying out for several days.

Does anybody know how I don't feel like going to work right now?

aaaaaaa three days in a row..........

---

Heard my cell-phone alarming through my dream. It was set up to ring at 6.30 . I got up at 6. 45. To my luck I had brain to realize I have to go to work today. Washed my hair. Turned the computer on. Wanted to check an emailbox but ‘puter started making up-to-date for all system. Just my luck! It took about a half of hour to download everything and then to unpack it. This updating ate up 50 MB of traffic!!! Of course there wasn’t left time to check an emailbox.

Went to the station on foot. Had to jump off from one platform and climb to other one. There was a train that I usually miss but today it was late. It was really good that I got on it because I could sit and read the book all the way.

Entered subway for free.

Saved on some more money not buying kefir.

Of course, to make windows on my balcony is now ? 300 more, compare to last year. I have to save on…

At work…

I was asked whether I was in slavery last two weeks.

Somewhat I was!



Barkeep was very talkative today. He told everything that has happened here during my vacation. Perhaps he was missing me.



There were two new waitresses. They seemed to be nice.



In the evening I got an envelope with a birthday card and some money inside it. Wow this really touched me. That was for the first time I got something not counting a card. Then we were eating three kinds of cakes by reason of Denis’ birthday,though his birthday was two days ago.

Now I am thinking about cooking a big and delicious cake for myself…



It’s late…have to go off to bed….

....still have dirty feeling in my soul....a bricklayer dared to give me a hug...pervert...I said firmly he shouldn't have done it and he agreed...fool...I still not feeling well because of it...marriedoldpervert..

Why haven't I just understood that he had played for time when asked for a cup of tea? Why haven't I just understood that he played for time when had asked for a cup of tea...This Grammar, another one, drives me mad!

Well, suffer now , Annet...next time you know what to do!

I want howling! just find myself in the forest among spruces and to howl..howl..howl...

Vacation is over...I haven't even forgotten the way to work. Better if I did.

Because of this unpleasing feeling I read a humorous book like a robot. Don't even smile...

I've been copying out the book, interesting one. "The secret diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4" by Sue Townsend. I wonder, is it her pseudonym or a real last name? Townsend, why not Sendtown? I should read about the author! Is Sue female's or male's name?

Had to switch spellchecker on...had some mistakes and misprints...managed to type Fryday...Shame on me!

---

All people as people....have their parties, gifts and birthday cards on their special day... calls... For me it's all upside down... Internet ? Just got connection... my poor back remainds my lifting 93 bricks and two 50 kg bags with cement. That's what I had to do on my birthday...Plus cleaning my balcony from doves' droppings...Just my luck!

But really...how nice that I started making my balcony windowed...though I have a doubt there's such a word...

The beginning:

---

I keep something on my lap. It's not a toy but...well, this thing is a kitten. I sit and cannot move because this lovely grey thing is not mewing at last but is sleeping! We brought it from the market today.It is soo little, must be only 1 month . Its eye is sore, so we bought special liquid to cure our little thing. We thought it was one problem for us to cure its eye but now....we tried to feed kitten with milk all day ..no luck! Kitten cannot lap! Lena tried to rub its little mouth in milk but it just was licking itself. So we do not know whether it mews being hungry or for any other reason. ha ha ha what was very funny..we lost kitten in our flat! We gave up finding it. ha ha we found kitten hearing its mewing ha ha under my sofa. It couldn't get itself free. really, that is something special to keep this fluffy sleeping thing on lap. I am trying to listen to my organism for whole day because I have an allergy to cats...hmm no sore eyes, no running nose..I do not rub my chin ...maybe I've got an immunitet for it? I got some scratches ..maybe I coped with it? I so hope for best..I DO NOT WANT GIVE BACK THIS KITTEN IN SOMEBODY'S ELSE HANDS! It is too lovely!!!

We haven't named our kitten yet. One man said it was female kitten, but we need to make sure it is so. We have to show kitten to the veterinary surgeon first.

I worry that we didn't see kitten leaving any wet places...of course before to piss you need to drink something...hey, little thing, wake up! I have to relocate my bones to the bed.

P.S. I even think that it softens its claws when touches me

---

Night...Can't believe this working day has finished! I am at home trying to get warm up. It's so cold outside!!! Uhhh how late. I should get up at 9:00 to do morning exercises. I really need my will power by my side! Well, if I ignore alarm clock at 9:00

FEEL FREE YOUSELF TO THROW ROTTEN TOMATOES AT ME

nighty-nighty and a good waking up to me

It is a bad day for me. The day, when I found out that my daughter tells a lie all the time. She won’t go to school …this year. I hope I took a right decision. I found out that she skipped lessons on September, 12. I don’t know where she was..who she was with…what she did that day. I just know that she didn’t answer the phone at 6:00, 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00PM…She wasn’t home. She said she was but switched the phone off. When I came home she was in bed and the phone was on. She still continues to object that she was skipping school that day…Does she really think I am so stupid to believe her tales?

She tied to a company , to a bad one…She keeps smoking, the only her wish is to go for a walk. She started school with just bad marks. Did she think about learning? She did think about walking. I do know that it is not a good decision to lock her home…I just have no choice..and…I thought a lot, I tried to convince myself that everything will be alright…but I fed up…it’s pain and I hate myself for this but I do not love my daughter any more…that is just a mother’s duty, what I feel to her..She has been making me unhappy for about two years. The farther the worse…I was happy, joyful and sociable kind of person…I look at myself and do not find that Annet I used to be…no music any more…neighbours listen to their radio…The more I am trying to prevent her from doing bad things, the more I worry about her the more I lose myself. I am a bad single parent. I want to be free…it’s impossible until she is 18.

---

I am shocked by a news....The man, whose name I didn't even know but watched his programs on Discavery Channel was killed by a sting-ray....

The man, wearing his khaki's shorts & T-shirt, loving all this animal world is no longer with us....

How he managed with those snakes and spiders! I was glued to TV those rare times I saw his programs, was attracted to his voice and his look...

Just why the best people leave this world so early? why?

May he rest on heaven. Amen.

I get a SMS on my cell-phone while I am writing an email to my friend's Mom.

The message exactly is:

Anja, Hello! We are in the hotel, cannot get the access to the Internet. Could you please say what "expiration date" means?

NICE. Who are they can be? I write a reply half in Russian, half in English just like that:

eto iste4enie kakogo libo sroka, ot kogo this message, may I know?

( it's an end of any date,who is this message from, may I know?)

I try to send this message. No luck. I get the message from MTS that there is just $1.76 on my phone account and it's not enogh to send the message. Geez! I know what's the matter. I forgot to put 8495 before the number. I try to send again. UFFF message is sent now.



Then I start to think... Whose a phone number is it? Hmmm the number is in my book-phone , but not named... Probably it's a number of my sister's husband. Well, I'll figure it out in a min. I go to the regular phone and dial a number of his sister.

- Hi, there. It's me, Annet. Do you know where is Lena now?

-Yeah. They are in France right now.

-ha ha ha clouds parted.....at this moment I hear the sound of incoming message on my cell-phone again

the new message is " these are Oleg and Lena...Oleg's number. I understood, will try again"

he he they got my message. I explain the things and hang up.



This unexpected SMS brought a change to my evening...



Ohhh tomorrow to work.....

---

The day that made of pictures :-)

I caught a chill a few days ago...I had to stay in bed sleeping in...



Today I felt better and decided to get rid of two thermometers of mine that were out of order. It contains mercury and being broken is a danger for people. Of course I do not have a child of kindergarten age that to expect anything bad...but being a mom of a teen I do not really know what to expect!!!



My daughter and I went to the forest to dig in thermometers.

Nobody knows but

peep here

we that there were buried two thermomethers















Uh how long I haven't been in the forest! Do not these two mushrooms look like wine-glasses?

ПОГАНКИ

I think they really DO!

look at this just if you have strong nerves

OH I just realized that I was holding on my palm a mushroom with a bug! If I noticed it in the forest I could jump and scream like crazy!







I was just strolling in the forest... :-)) as for other people...THEY DID NOT WASTE TIME

Prologue…



Night. Computer is on making its regular noise. There’s a cup with kefir in it on the table. Annet is sitting at the ‘puter. She types word or two and then takes a sip of kefir. She thinks how to start to keep her diary again. The problem is that she doesn’t want to post anything not nice… So she has not to post anything at all. And here she has an argument with herself. There were not days completely bad. Always was something good that made her feel happy even it just lasted for five minutes or so.

OK here she goes…





Morning…



I overslept. It was ten minutes to eleven when I got up. It was my first day off so I turned on my PC and went to the bathroom to make my eyes a little wider than they were after sleep. OOPPSSS left-clicking on “connect to the Internet” brought nothing but disappointment.

I wondered was there any interrelationship with me beeing home and connection to the Internet. The connection was absent while I was no doubt present. UGH





Close to noon…

Lena and I were getting ready to shopping. Taught by a bitter experience we both had to equip. Lena took my cell-phone to listen to the radio. I took the CD-player to listen to a new CD from “Hot English”. We both knew it was better if we kept silent going together. She might say something rude and I might as well turn back on half of our way.



Still I tried to say something to her for what she answered: ”Non parlo” (that’s her new crush on Italian language) ( and she was so kind to me to translate this meaning to me) ( do not speak)



So…all I had to do was to concentrate on horror sounds…

Howling wind and the wind blowing were so natural! The most frighten sound was the sound of a body put into an acid bath… But the most spooky sound was the sound of



SPOOKY LAUGH



SPOOKY LAUGH



Spooky laugh….. ha ha ha ha ha







In the store….



It was very unusual how we were unanimous in what to buy. She didn’t mind buying a lot of oranges and grapefruits that was rewarded with bananas and sunflower seeds…

On our way back we dropped in the shop to buy something to wear. Ha ha ha I do not know whether it is okay to say what we bought or not. Well we bought pants. Not pants that are trousers. Something that you wear under trousers. Probably it is called underwear pants in English. He he he I always giggle at my daughter for what kind of pants she wears. I call this triangle of cloth that she wears as thread in the butt and wonder what for she wears pants if they do not cover her buttocks at all. She giggles at me thinking how it is possible to wear other sort of pants. She was so happy to have her new thread in the butt with butterfly that I did not dare to say mine were better. Oh yes my daughter was walking on air! I bought a new pair of trainers for her. So nice that now I am thinking of buying the same to myself…



Well, it was a good day…and now it starts a new one so I’d better go to sleep…

---

It’s so late here!

The clock shows time to be tucked into bed but I am not even going to do it yet…

I was reading…

It has been raining here since noon and I don’t know better thing than to sleep or read in such weather…I chosen to read.



Usually I read the book from the end . When the end is interesting I start to read the book from the beginning. That’s me. And that’s how I read in Russian. The same with English, since I can read in it.



Today I was reading books from the beginning.



No…Nothing has happened…



The sun rises and sets as usual…



It’s simple books I was reading today have no ends!!! These books I get by email five days a week from Norton Library. If I like the book and want to know it through I have to order it. But of course I cannot order it however I wanted it. So all I have to do is to read all books from the beginning. Aaaaaaaawwww Some stories are really gripping! They leave in my heart feeling of regret that I cannot read it till end and make me think much about heroes and events…



Am I masochist?



…Midnight….



I can sleep less than 6 hours. I work, I wanted to say, tomorrow, but it’s already today…



I will be very sleepy at work… will doze off in the electric train, will yawn all the time at work… will keep saying that it would be nice to have a cup of coffee to start day with… And the barkeep will be pretending to be deaf and dumb… Usually being such a smart boy he becomes soo silly… I wonder what happens with him all the time I want to have a cup of coffee like Espresso? When my hints begin to reach ( not his ears but his nerves, I believe ) he starts to play game of words with me like that:



- if I have a cup of coffee right now I’ll stop yawn so much infecting others…



-( barkeep, yawning himself…) go and make a cup of coffee for yourself, what’s the problem?

- Nescafe can’t stop my yawning being instant coffee, it’s bad…

- It’s not bad. THIS coffee is really bad for your heart.

- Espresso will make me feel better…

- Look, who drinks espresso on mornings? Just people who don’t care of one’self…fools , in short…

- I want to be a fool right now…

- No, maybe in the evening…now make a strong black tea for yourself…

- You, ignorant! Do not you know that tea has more tannin than coffee? So you care of my health? Of health of your poor cashier that hardly can keep her eyes open this morning! Of your best and closest helper when it begins hard time for you and you are torn making coffee, juices and cocktails…

- This greedy barkeep dares to smile…

- I still want coffee

- You do not

- I do

- You do not

- You do not , I do want!



Then there’s time for lunch when we do not have time to argue…

To be continued….

Got up early today...

I was awoken by the song of birds.

do not look!

It's neither dark nor light... Quiet. No voices of people. No noises of cars...Just singing...There're several windows with light in them in the appartment-building that is opposite to ours. Happy people do not need get up early and get ready to work on Saturday...

There's crescent moon in the sky. The sun will vanish it soon...



That's my balcony...with dove's shit on the porch...Last summer doves picked it to have their nestling here. It was such a nice chubby thing, when he or she grew up a bit. Since then doves occupied my balcony. Now against my will.

I've learned they can't be training to go to the toilet in the proper place.So I say Goodbye Doves!!! Let me take sunbath on my balcony again...let me hang washed clothes... Go away!

First ride...

Yesterday my new bicycle decided to test me how good I am at riding it.

I thought it would be nice to go to the shop where I used to work. Usually it took about twenty minutes to go there by bus.

Probably we took a wrong direction...that wasn't good....We have found the way back, it was very good

Then I wasn't allowed to ride in the Park. It was a great disappointment for me. There has happened an accident when little child was hit by a big bicycle. Now they allow to ride just children bicycles.

Well, it's okay for me I had to say to myself...

I can go to forest ..it was nice to ski there. It will be nice to ride a bicycle there as well. I just wasn't sure whether paths are dry or no.

Near to the forest I was stopped. I looked to the right

>

then I looked to the left

<

This mud blocked my way to the forest...aaaaaa

Don't ask me whether I saw something in the third direction...because I don't know how to write it correct. straight of me? ahead?

So I had to return home.

And there's something that I saw beside our building ...

interested?

now byeeee

I AM A BAD GIRL.

Night.

What do usually people do coming from work too late ? I think those who consider themselves like normal people, they take a shower and go to bed immediately. As for me on coming home I immediately turn on my computer, then spend a penny and pay a visit to the bathroom Can I have my sleep well and sweet and sound before checking my emailbox? Probably no. So I am kind of crazy and addicted to the Internet person. Some would say it's a sickness. I would say it's a happiness. Let every has his or her own opinion.

It's a deep night. I don't go to bed even I was yawning my head off at work. I can type. Every can. Who has a computer of course. I can type in English. It weighs MORE. LOL I love this my ability and that's why I am not tired to repeat it again and again, to all world.



but today I was a bad girl at work...Two acts of mine were bad, maybe a little funny, I'd say...It's how to look at it...Maybe it looked like a play where I have played a role of a bad person. Well, I don't know if I have a right to tell this everyone...

So if somebody wants to know exactly which bad things I have done I let you

peep here

Annet changed her mind to tell more

well, tomorrow it's her day off so she can tell this or something else later on...
