It has been quite a weird week actually. It was a week off here, fall break, so I had planned a lot to do. Cleaning the house was a thing what really was needed. Now my wife isn't able to do much after her surgery, my mother did some cleaning earlier but it was needed to clean up the house completely. So a great job for the first Monday of the week off. Tuesday we went out for shopping. I really needed some new clothes but I always hate to see if it all fits. Well we succeeded not completely so there will be a follow up real soon I guess.
My wife's surgery was on October 9 but she still feels very tired after a little action. So after an hour of shopping we went home again.
We also rang the builder who will be busy with the expansion of the house. They still cant tell us when they will start, it keeps me busy I must say. Not looking forward to all the mess what it will bring.
Last Thursday I finally bought myself a new laptop. I was still in doubt weather I would buy a desktop or a laptop but regarding the mobility I bought a lappy. Also nice when we will go abroad so we can check mail a bit and so. Installing all programs kept me busy rest of the week. I had some problems installing Outlook for my mail as part of Office 2007 so I de-installed it and went back to windows mail. It always is difficult to find out which files from the old PC need to be put on the new one. It was easy that my son has an external hard drive, which made it easy to transfer a lot in an easy way.
Last Saturday we had 2 football matches to watch so a busy day again.

An other part what kept my really busy were my conversations with B. I can feel so well what is going on in his mind and that its not possible for him to express his feeling the way he would really want. Life is difficult sometimes. Because I dealt with the same issue when I was his age I can feel pretty well what is keeping him busy. Only difference is that in those days there was no internet. There is so much possible now by internet. You can get info everywhere, but also a lot of seduction. Still a personal talk helps the best I think. He is from Portugal and its impossible for him to act the way he really would like. I hope I was able to support him a bit, we had quite some talks about it. Weird it also is that it keeps me busy so much. I only met him about a week ago "by accident" and we already had deep conversations about different subjects. I know I always trust people too quick but with him all went in a friendly comfortable way. We talked open and honest. It was possible to say what we really wanted to say and shared some really deep thoughts. The age-difference I left behind me, cause for me that was a bit of barrier, but not anymore.
Finally: for all my friends here. I haven't comment much last days, but read all your posts here. From today I will try to keep up to date with your posts again.
