I keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change...

For two days I have more or less been waiting. I must say, waiting is one of my less favourite thing to do. We can almost go as far as I hate it. And why choose Portugal then, you ask, and well, true true. As always you have to take the good with the bad. No the other way around. Ah, you know what I meen!

To another thing on the subject: On the 4th of april I applied for my portuguese social security number. I got a papper as a proof until the real card was going to arrive. It was valid for one month, that meens until the 4th of may. Still no card or any word about it. So, I try to talk to people about this, asking what to do. The answer I get; just wait, it's normal. WTF! Of course it's normal if nobody says anything and just accept! I go crazy with this kind of things. Speak up, complain, ask to know more and especially know your rights! So, I'm asked to sit by and wait, although sometimes I heard that if you get a fine, you can sometimes wait because it happens that it gets lost in the system. Hallelulja! Sounds perfect. Or? Bureaucracy is wonderful. So, I'm thinking, where should I go? Who do I talk too? In times like this I remember I'm an alien. In many ways.

I'm gonna work on the island this summer. That's a good goodigoodgood thing. I'm longing for the walks in the forrest and the quiet time on the rocks. I hope the cats will like it too, if we get a place to live that is! They are going to become portuguese. What a mess to bring them here. But they're worth it. My son and daughter. Maybe not the ones my mother had in mind when she was asking about grandchildren, but you get what you get. I love my furry little ones. And everybody else have to love them too! Boohhaa!

A new days is becoming afternoon more or less. My man is sleeping. It's saturday today and for every minute the day is passing. I need a hobby. I should study, I could clean, I should hang the laundry, I could answer some e-mails, I should go to the gym and I could take a shower. I'll call a friend instead. Ta ta!
