brigita...sickie:(

so I lost a voice about a week ago...i got it back couple of days later but my throat has been sore and acting up ever since. I must have a mixture os something like a cold and touncil inflamation...but whatever it is it doesn't feel good. it was getting better for a couple of days and now it is back and i can hardly swallow my saliva...a very icky feeling...i wonder how can i bribe my touncils to come to senses....i've admit i've used some pretty harsh methods lately of combating the sore thoat like pure vodka drinks and native latvian linden tree tea:) (which did make me feel better but then i interrupted the regiment with beer drinking and other stuff) so now i know i being punished for not sticking to mom's teas and curing myself fully. i admit i can be a fool...
...so oh...the best part of the week is that i got a door installed in my den today:)...now for the first time in this past month since i moved into my condo i can close a door behind myself:) and who would have thought that it feels so good to close a door behind yourself on an occasion. So the door is almost closed right now:)...and i'm happy.....and the big thank you goes to Hank:) still and even more now:) my favorite architect of them all who makes things possible. I'm so grateful I have such nice people around me who are willing to spend their time and effort in making my life easier and more enjoyable. This has been a great year for me all and all and I want to send out thank you's to a whole lot of people who are wonderful and who have come and maybe left my world but who all have made such a positive impact on me. I do appreciate absolutelly everything that is being done for me..... (btw?:) do you think i have career in speech writing for the academy:)???:)...ok..just a joke...but in all honesty...i hope next year is as good as this year has been and it will be a success...

p.s. peaches! it is time to update your blog already:) do you think?:) miss you.

Merry Christmassssss:)

I just realized my last posting was only Dec. 10th, seems like a whole century ago. And the Christmas Day is here already. December was an incredibly busy month. I'm not sure where it went but there were so many things to do that it took care of all of my free time for sure. On major events: I am pretty wel settled into my condo, a co-worker of mine with a big heart will come and help me make a door for my den, so that I can get some privacy from my tenants. My second tenant is moving in end of next week. I sent in my first INDEPENDENT mortgage payment this past Saturday, The bank certainly didn't forget that I owe them money:).....but it felt nice to have my "rent" money finally be chanelled towards "non-rent" and start accumulating equity and working for itself. I'm happy with the decision to buy, even thought on occasion I was asking myself if I am convinced that I can get thought this and play the real-estate game the way I had thought I can play. But I think I'll be allright.
...My work is going well. We just had our Christmas Party 2 days ago:) people are fun and even thought I had thought it will be a slow party...it turned out well with it's own charm.
...Story of friends...my good friend Jennifer is leaving her work and moving with her husband to Norway...we celebrated her departure on Friday nite and will have an "official" good-bye party on Jan. 20st....and..the finally of the year at Duffy's the Irish Pub/ Restaurant on Dec. 31st...Let's wait for a New Year in style:)...and as for the New Years Resolution?:) to eliminate all of my credit-card debt, to build a wall for the dining room in the condo, and to lay off the junk food:) and go consistently to the gym...now even more that I have a arm-band for my iPod and I can actually excersise without worrying about where I place it:)...thank you Laura and Malik.... ok...I might return here if anything spectacular happens but most likely I'm wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New 2007 Now....let it be at least as amazing and more then the 2006 was for me!:)

continuing the tradition

...of weekend working like a slave...
well here it is again. sunday evening 7.35p.m. and i'm at work...the tradition in my book already...the deadline i mentioned on wednesday is tomorrow 5.00p.m. and loads of work still need to be done...the usual tiredness and not giving a crap about anything has set in at this late hour...i hope i'll be able to get out of it in a minute or 20 because i need to keep moving. most likely i'll see the lonely streets of 5.00a.m. on Monday morning driving home to take a shower and making my way back to work immediatelly after that...
...i'm almost done with the specs book...almost all the materials have been accounted for...i was told i'll get a workforce to help replicate things tomorrow till 5.00p.m....which is good i won't have to have gray hair by myself trying to make 7 binders of everything by myself. and immediatelly after this submission the boards are due...when exactly am i supposed to enjoy the slow christmas time and experiance the holliday joy?:)
......my "pandora" just gave up and i need more music...i need to listen to something ....the silence is a disaster in this situation....and my pod is on the last 1/8th of it's power....need help....

so dead tired

so it is 5.00p.m. isn't it always...my eyelids are so heavy like heavy alloy fo sorts. my #1 wish would be to be at home under my blankets right this second and sleep for a long while. the deadline is drawing close, the materials are slowly coming in yet the bulk of the work is still ahead. i really don't want to work this coming weekend. i have a lot of stuff to do as it is on my own...like switching my drivers licence from MD to VA and unpacking and cleaning...yeah the endless cleaning. i need a whole lot of cleaning supplies as well...everything takes time. i need a curtain rod to dress up the window to get a bit of privacy in the main space. i need a water filter to have normal drinking water and the list goes on and on and on:)..but as i said most of all i need sleep...can i have it like that?:)
