It’s quite windy and cloudy so it might start to rain soon. I wonder if we will have similar weather like last year but hopefully not.  Although I will be working the whole summer so it won’t bother me that much. Over weekends it could be very warm and sunny because then I will have better possibilities to enjoy the nice weather.&lt;br&gt;
Tomorrow I will go to Härmä. It’s a small village what is about 100 km from Vaasa. I will go there to meet few customers. I will go through the software with them. It’s always nice to travel little and these customers are quite nice so it will be fun to train them to use the software. Here in Finlad the summer vacation started today and many people are at home or in their own cottage or they might even travels somewhere, it will be interesting to see how it affect on my work when people are on vacation for the whole month. I think it might be a very slow month...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I just hearing music from radio what brings me back to childhood. It’s rock song from late 1970’s. I remember that I heard is first time when my family was traveling and my father was driving the car.  It’s very interesting to see how music can bring you memories what you don’t even know you had.  Now in summer time it comes a lot of old music from radio and it’s so fun to listening and I always sing a long (although I don’t have a nice singing voice… I feel very sorry for my co-workers who have to hear… &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt; ). It’s very therapeutic I think, at least I feel happy when I am singing; I don’t think my co-workers think the same… &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In last blog I forget to say that all my email friends who read my blog, please write to me either to my own email address (I have to old one still left) or to this one what I have here. I have had major problems with my computer at home and I have lost all my friends email address &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"&gt; . It’s very sad and I don’t know how I will get them back so please write to me a short note so that I will get in touch with you again.  &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Have a great day&lt;/p&gt;

Sorry that you haven´t heard from me for a very long time but I have so much to do with my study and my new work so I didn´t have any more energy or time to write this blog and I feel little sad about it but now it´s summer again and I have little more time because I don´t need to study for one whole month, yes. I will be at work the whole summer because I started this job in Marsh so I only have two vocation days and I will spend one of them in August and the second I don´t even know yet  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Where will I start with telling about my life now? Maybe the best way is to start with my study. I have already made my baccalaureate and on autumn I start with MSc so my studying is going well. I plant to get my MSc ready for Christmas 2008 and after that I will apply to a other university because I will also do Teacher and Psychological studies so I still have many years ahead before I can says I am finally ready with my studies  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On 10th March I got a now job at Serimo Oy (www.serimo.fi). I am an educator of Lemonsoft software. The company is still quite small and here is only four persons working. Two of them are owners. I am the only woman so that´s great and all the guys are nice and very helpful with everything. Serimo Oy is a dealer of lemonsoft software so we work very closely with Company Lemonsoft (www.lemonsoft.fi) too and there works seven persons (six men and one woman). They are all nice and we even sit in the same room with three of them and once of the week two coders come to our office too so we see them often. This company where I work is taking part of the development of the software too so we test the program whole time when we are not meeting the customers. My work is mostly to educate the different companies (who pay the software from Serimo Oy) to use the software. I need to know a lot of the program so that I know how it might behave in all kinds of situations. I even need to travel a lot too (in whole Finland) because the customers might be in very different places and Lemonsoft use my service every time they need a educator somewhere (there are other dealers of this software too, actually quite many even and they have also customers who needs training but they can´t educate when they don´t have enough of resource because they work alone or they don´t have enough of knowledge of the program like I have so then they call me and ask if I can do it  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif" alt="B)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;). I like the job but of course sometimes I feel like it´s too much for me &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. The customers are usually very nice but not always and they don´t understand why they had to pay at once I leave the office to come and train them so there are many times quite hard arguments of it  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I also takes care of the customer support and there customers sometimes asks very difficult questions and of course they need the answer right always and they don´t understand that I am not that often at office because I am training some other company to start to use the software. Most times I like the job and even the customers  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I also love the feeling when I can help because it´s so rewarding when they thank me and says that I gave them very good ideas  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif" alt="B)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. The hardest thing is for me to understand all the technical things of computer and software and everything like that  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graydead.gif" alt="XX(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;  but I start to know little about it already and little by little I feel like I start to be a professional with my duties  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Of course there is still a lot to learn and I am working hard with it &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayshy.gif" alt=":." class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I have only been here for 4 months so no wonder I sometimes still feels like I am "a snowman whos in the courtyard" (Finnish saying, it means "very lost") &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Although of everything I do hope I can be here for a very long time so hold your fingers crossed for me  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;What else have happened here? Not much. I lost my dear cat Kissen on winter time  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;  so I now only have two cats left; Jasmin and Siina. They are both ok now. There was few times where I already though I will lose them too but now Siina have started to eat again and she feels now ok. Jasmin went through a major operation few weeks ago but now she start to be better and I am trying to clean her big wound on the stomach every day and it looks very good and healthy. She had many big knots in her stomach and the Vet operated her many hours. She was so sick the days after the operation that it felt really bad on everyone and we tried to help her so good we only could  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Now thankfully it´s over and she will leave a long and great life with us. Next week we know if the knots was cancer or not. My fish are ok. I still have 8 of them in live and they all are very lively but one of them suddenly changed the color. She was very cold almost red but now she is very white. It looks like I might have soaked her in the chlorine water  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;  but I promise I havent done it  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I don´t know why she has tuned white almost like albino suddenly and it took only few days &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. She is still well and everything other things are ok so... We even have a wild brown hare on our yard what is not afraid of us so that´s nice and we also have quite many bird nests too so we can every day wake up with bird concert (what is not always that nice...  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayno.gif" alt=":no:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;)  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;We have also started to paint our house and garage to red (its the cheapest color here in Finland  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;). It looks very weird in my eyes but maybe after a while I start to even like it  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. The funny thing is that this is a color what farmers here in Finland usually use on barns around the fields  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. So now it looks like we also living in a own big barn  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I shall take a photo of it when the house is painted. I have never lived in a red house so this is very new for me too &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt; but maybe it´s a lucky color (hopefully  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif" alt=":idea:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;) so after a while we have so much of luck that we don´t even know what to do with it in the end  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Here in Finland it haven´t really happened anything special. We fight about the very expensive gasoline and oil like every other country  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayupset.gif" alt=":##" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. We also fight over many different taxis which are very big here and we fight about salary that is not growing like all other things are  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysigh.gif" alt=":**:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. We have now the summer time here and next month will be the time when almost everyone is on vocation so everything will be very slow &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Here in Vaasa we will have a Residence trade show and it´s quite close to our place so we might even go and see it. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Here are few pictures what I found of Vaasa. The last one, what have two buildings, is a picture of the place where I work at. The company have only small room on the third floor  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;  but I wanted to show you the place because it looks very nice in this picture &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I hope you will enjoy the photos as much I do &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

The customers are usually very nice but not always and they don´t understand why they had to pay at once I leave the office to come and train them so there are many times quite hard arguments of it  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0">. I also takes care of the customer support and there customers sometimes asks very difficult questions and of course they need the answer right always and they don´t understand that I am not that often at office because I am training some other company to start to use the software. Most times I like the job and even the customers  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">. I also love the feeling when I can help because it´s so rewarding when they thank me and says that I gave them very good ideas  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif" alt="B)" class="middle" border="0">. The hardest thing is for me to understand all the technical things of computer and software and everything like that  <img src="/img/smilies/graydead.gif" alt="XX(" class="middle" border="0">  but I start to know little about it already and little by little I feel like I start to be a professional with my duties  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">. Of course there is still a lot to learn and I am working hard with it <img src="/img/smilies/grayshy.gif" alt=":." class="middle" border="0">. I have only been here for 4 months so no wonder I sometimes still feels like I am "a snowman whos in the courtyard" (Finnish saying, it means "very lost") <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0">. Although of everything I do hope I can be here for a very long time so hold your fingers crossed for me  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>What else have happened here? Not much. I lost my dear cat Kissen on winter time  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":&#39;(" class="middle" border="0">  so I now only have two cats left; Jasmin and Siina. They are both ok now. There was few times where I already though I will lose them too but now Siina have started to eat again and she feels now ok. Jasmin went through a major operation few weeks ago but now she start to be better and I am trying to clean her big wound on the stomach every day and it looks very good and healthy. She had many big knots in her stomach and the Vet operated her many hours. She was so sick the days after the operation that it felt really bad on everyone and we tried to help her so good we only could  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":&#39;(" class="middle" border="0">. Now thankfully it´s over and she will leave a long and great life with us. Next week we know if the knots was cancer or not. My fish are ok. I still have 8 of them in live and they all are very lively but one of them suddenly changed the color. She was very cold almost red but now she is very white. It looks like I might have soaked her in the chlorine water  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0">  but I promise I havent done it  <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0">. I don´t know why she has tuned white almost like albino suddenly and it took only few days <img src="/img/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" class="middle" border="0">. She is still well and everything other things are ok so... We even have a wild brown hare on our yard what is not afraid of us so that´s nice and we also have quite many bird nests too so we can every day wake up with bird concert (what is not always that nice...  <img src="/img/smilies/grayno.gif" alt=":no:" class="middle" border="0">)  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>We have also started to paint our house and garage to red (its the cheapest color here in Finland  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0">). It looks very weird in my eyes but maybe after a while I start to even like it  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0">. The funny thing is that this is a color what farmers here in Finland usually use on barns around the fields  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":o" class="middle" border="0">. So now it looks like we also living in a own big barn  <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0">. I shall take a photo of it when the house is painted. I have never lived in a red house so this is very new for me too <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"> but maybe it´s a lucky color (hopefully  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif" alt=":idea:" class="middle" border="0">) so after a while we have so much of luck that we don´t even know what to do with it in the end  <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>Here in Finland it haven´t really happened anything special. We fight about the very expensive gasoline and oil like every other country  <img src="/img/smilies/grayupset.gif" alt=":##" class="middle" border="0">. We also fight over many different taxis which are very big here and we fight about salary that is not growing like all other things are  <img src="/img/smilies/graysigh.gif" alt=":**:" class="middle" border="0">. We have now the summer time here and next month will be the time when almost everyone is on vocation so everything will be very slow <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0">. Here in Vaasa we will have a Residence trade show and it´s quite close to our place so we might even go and see it. </p>
	<p>Here are few pictures what I found of Vaasa. The last one, what have two buildings, is a picture of the place where I work at. The company have only small room on the third floor  <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0">  but I wanted to show you the place because it looks very nice in this picture <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0">. I hope you will enjoy the photos as much I do <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">.</p>

	&lt;p&gt;I am so sorry that I haven’t bee writing here but I have had so much to do. My study is going ok and I am already doing my bachelor’s degree so I have been writing it instead. I have already made 38 pages of my thesis so it’s 3 to go before I can read it through and make all the fixing before I can leave it to my teacher. I have also made quite many study credit units and I am still doing many for me Master's degree. I also took a new longer course for my secondary subject even if I don’t need it but now I had a possibility take the course after all and I have always been very interesting in psychology. I notice that they had 25 credit units course of it in Summer University so I took my change even that I have already many other courses to do also but....&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I am still working at ABB Oy but only for 1.5 months, so it’s coming to end finally. I haven’t yet found anything else but I am still searching and I have applied for few. I do hope I’ll find something else very soon because I need the salary and I have to work although I am studying in the same time but otherwise we can’t pay the house loan. I hope this time I’ll finally get a very interesting and nice work where I want to be for a longer time and what gives me challenge in many ways, even in a creative way what I don’t get now going through hundreds of invoices daily. It’s very boring work and not for me who is not that fastidious.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I had a wonderful course in December where I got to know my MBTI personality type and the whole course was so interesting that I started to want to know more of physiology and pedagogic. Now I know what I want to be when I grow up &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I want to be psychologist, therapist, trainer, teacher or research worker in these subject matter. I know it will take a lot of time before I am there but little by little and maybe when I am something like 50 I am finally there &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I made a New years promise to try to find my self and be me in every situation. I will try to find where I am good at and what I need to develop in to become me. I am already trying to be more creative in all kind of ways and I am writing on evenings of my childhood and of everything what have been problem in my life. I also try to meditate so that I’ll find the peace and harmony to get the guts to be me. I have always been quite adapting of everything but maybe now when I am already in this age &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt; I finally will get the guts to be me and stand for what I believe in. I have also been quite afraid to show my creative work for other people (I don’t like negative critic. I usually stop if someone says I am not that good in it although I know that every one have different matter of opinion in everything so someone might like my work and someone not…&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;) so even in that I will try find courage in. I already made huge decision last year when I started to write here and put some of my photos to the media page. I will keep doing what and I hope you all still want to read my blog, even that it might sometimes be too personal with all kind of happenings, complaining, planning of my life and enthusiastic of something what I found out. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Ok, here was little of what have happened to me in these few months what you haven’t heard anything of me. I am still ok, little stressed of everything but otherwise my life is a lot like what it was in autumn. I let you know how it goes with my job search, study and of course with finding my self, that will be very interesting journey for me. It will start with physiology credit units in this months where we have to write about our self and investigate behaving. Maybe even I start finally like my self or not…&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I hope you all have a wonderful day and I will keep in contact even that it might sometimes take few weeks or even months before you here of me again but it’s only because I have now little bit too much to do. &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

My life has been quite busy lately. I have quite much to do at work so I usually work something like 10 hours daily and then on evenings I go to university because my study began for this term and now I have bookkeeping courses and English. I also will make so many courses I only can now this term because I planed that next term I’ll start with my thesis finally. It will be something with HR to do but I don’t know yet of what I will do it from, maybe of the recruit&lt;br&gt;
system or something like that. I talked with the Human Resource Manager last week and she said I can do it to this company (ABB Oy) where I work.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My dear cat Kissen died on Thursday evening last week so I feel very sorry about it &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"&gt; but I know she is in better place now and I hope she is very happy and met my other cat Nessu in heaven and now they are playing together and chasing birds and mice &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Last week I also had to make a big decision of my future plans and I hope I made the right one although I know the other one should have fitted me better. Okay I shall start from the begin, the boss from my last workplace (Real Estate Company) called me and asked if I want to come and work for them again and now I would even get a permanent workplace. I felt like OH NO, not now when I have already left the place &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayno.gif" alt=":no:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Well I though hard and well on the decision and I end up saying NO after all although I know I might have liked to be there more but I have a principle that I never look back when I change the workplace &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Okay here actually the bigger issues what govern in my decision was that I can make my thesis here at ABB and I might have here better possibilities to end up at the Human resource unit if I work hard and try to apply everything what they have open there. At my old workplace I would never have possibilities to these things. My job would only to be to rent apartments but okay I know I would enjoy more that job than this what I have now, go through invoices but hey I can’t wave goodbye to the opportunity that I might some day have the possibility to end up at working in HR unit so I need to stay here and try no matter what. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;When I talked with the Human Resource Manager here at ABB of my plans to do the thesis on HR side she said that there will come a workplace open at this unit soon and It came already so I applied for it  and now I am hopping I’ll get it too. So please keep your fingers crossed for me so that I will now get this HR assistant job here at ABB. It would be a real and right job for me and I know I would enjoy it because this person who gets the job will take care of the recruitment of new employers and also devise the system too so it would be very interesting and I already have some experience of it too so..... Hold you fingers crossed for me, I need it now &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Otherwise it haven’t happen that much here. The autumn is here and we have something like 10-15 C degrees in Vaasa and the nature looks very wet and the leaves start to change colors little by little. Over the weekends I have only relaxed, cleaned the house, read to my next exam and watched TV. I also have made some homework’s from my bookkeeping course, what sounds little fanny because I am at university and I still get homework’s &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; and I bet we will get lot more homework’s from my English course too so this week will go there doing them.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay Now I shall continue with my work. I only wanted to wish you all good and sunny autumn &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I also wanted to notify that I am still alive and kicking &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"&gt; although I don’t have that much of time to write anymore because of my study but I will do it always when I have few minutes over from my work tasks. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Here is a photo of the university campus here in Vaasa.&lt;/p&gt;

Over the weekends I have only relaxed, cleaned the house, read to my next exam and watched TV. I also have made some homework’s from my bookkeeping course, what sounds little fanny because I am at university and I still get homework’s <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"> and I bet we will get lot more homework’s from my English course too so this week will go there doing them.</p>
	<p>Okay Now I shall continue with my work. I only wanted to wish you all good and sunny autumn <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">. I also wanted to notify that I am still alive and kicking <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"> although I don’t have that much of time to write anymore because of my study but I will do it always when I have few minutes over from my work tasks. </p>

I have been sick with hard flue the whole last week. I had fever and sore through, cough and my nose was running. I have still the flue but I start to feel much better now. On last Monday I was already planning to write a testament because I was feeling so bad that I thought I won’t survive this one but thankfully I did. This flue bug is very hard one and the doctor says that it will take something like 3 weeks before you will get rid of the flue. I have still two weeks to go but I do hope I will get rid of it little sooner after all.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My week otherwise was quite ok. I tried to relax a lot and I was at home on Monday and Tuesday. I slept much but I also made a translation work from Swedish to Finnish on Tuesday evening to my last workplace. It was a certificate of incorporation so I had to work really hard to get it right but hopefully I did and I hope the man who I made the duty for was happy too. On Wednesday I came back to work, still feeling quite sick but I knew there would be so much of invoices to go through so I had to come and go through them as soon as possible so that day went with posting over 300 invoices. I was quite tired on evening and went to bed very early. On Thursday and Friday I was at work like usually and went through all the duties I had left from Monday to Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Over the weekend I still relaxed a lot and started a new diet because I have always been very interesting of raw vegan food and now will I give it a try even that I know it will be a very hard one and maybe not that suitable for cold climates what we will have here in Finland over the winter time but I shall see how it goes and my desire for a healthier life is bigger than the freezing feeling so that’s why I now will try it and see how it goes. On Sunday I “ate” two different green smoothies and a lot of fruits. I also still ate little cooked fish and potatoes (I change my diet little by little everyday so that the detox feelings won’t be that bad). Now today on morning I ate green smoothies with banana, spinach and purging thorn. I tasted ok but quite bitter too. Now on before noon I have been eating fruits and now on lunch I drank smoothies what was made of Soya protein but I know that this one was cooked so now rest of the day I can only eat fruits or raw vegetables. I feel quite ok but I have a headache and my stomach is little weird so now I know that my body is cleaning it self quite hard.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The fall has come to Finland and everything looks so brown and wet. We have quite cold weather already although we shouldn’t have it yet.  Now we have about 12 C degrees middle of the days and on mornings it might be between 0-8 C degrees. The days here in Vaasa have already shorten little and now it’s getting dark already 9 pm and on mornings it gets to 6.30 am before the sun rises so little by little we soon will have only few hours daylight on the day. At Christmas time we usually have daylight only between 11 am to 2 pm. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The change to digital television went well here in Finland and they whom belonged to the cable network didn’t get need a digital box so even we got few more months time, until end of February, before we need to get a digital box. This is good because we would want to buy a better one with where you can tape TV program with too so we need to check how much they cost and everything like that so now we got the time after all.   &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Please hold you fingers crossed for me because the period for applying ended on Friday for the few of jobs I applied for few weeks ago so I now hope they will soon contact me and ask on interview…&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay now I need to work again. Have a lovely day.&lt;/p&gt;

Now it’s quite cold on mornings and it’s raining more again. Even the nights get darker every day and now we have dark outside already 9.30 pm. There are a lot of vegetables at super markets and fresh fish. It’s so wonderful with all there tasty vegetables and I am buying a lot of them. Sadly, that they won’t be this fresh the whole winter time, after few months there will only be potatoes, Swedish turnips and beetroots at the market and maybe few onions too.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I met my study adviser yesterday and she said to me that my study is in very good situation because I can already start to do my bachelor's degree thesis and take all the courses for the master's degree. The only courses what I need to concentrate at now are the one on finance side (the worse ones, I have left them behind me only because I know they are very difficult ones) and on language side. I also can start to take my own major subjects for the master’s degree and courses for that thesis too. I feel very proud of me but okay there will still be a lot to do before I get my examination &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. There will also be little difficult to get them done because most of courses are going on day time and then I am at work so I need to plan everything little better and take from the Open University everything I only can. Okay of course there will not be that much of what I can take from the Open University so that’s why I need to take few from the usually University too and be away from my workplace then.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Over the coming weekend will Finland also link up with a group who belongs to digital television so we will see how it goes. Many people have already bought the digital recorder but there are still many who wait and see how it goes next week because there are few different advices of how everything will go. Like they say that these people who belong to cable network will see the programs because the cable television will change the digital canals to normal analogical interpretation for a while. Then we will see everything like usually. Only the one who have the antenna network needs the digital recorder for now but actually we don’t know how everything goes and if anything of this is for sure right so there are many like us who waits and see. There are also many who don’t have paid the television license fee anymore because of this digital television change. I wonder how many stop paying after next week if the cable network don’t send the programs like they promised &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_twisted.gif" alt=":&gt;" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

Our weekend was nice and I didn’t really do anything special. I just relaxed, watched TV and read a book. On Sunday I cleaned our house and water all my plants. Even the one was is outside although soon I have to take them inside because the nights start to be cold here in Finland. Today when we wake up I notice that the temperature was only 3 C degrees. I felt like I am freezing already and it’s not even winter yet &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Today I have been to a SAP training the whole day. That’s been fun and it have helped me to understand my work little bit better and it have been so fun to do something else than go through hundreds of invoices. When I came back from the SAP training there was many weird emails waiting for me and what I have to do something to. I felt so sad of it and my desire to do some other work grew even more &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif" alt=":'(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Today I got a good massage to my neck and back but now I feel even weirder because I have a headache and stomach pain but I think it was because my blood started to circulate better so that’s why I got so weird feeling. Last time I didn’t feel like this although it was my first massage in years but now after two weeks I feel very weird and also my throat is sore after that she massage really hard on the muscles in my neck and close to my throat area so I think that’s why I feel so weird because the blood started to circulate to the ears so maybe I lost my balance sensation for few minutes so that’s why my stomachache started because I always get nausea if I loose my balance (in car and boat). I try now to drink a lot of water now to get all the waste product away from my body what the masseuse put on move. I hope that will help and tomorrow I feel like a new person like I did last time. Weird that every massage is unique happening, I never even though it might be like that. I feel so much cleverer now when I figure out this &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Tomorrow I will meet my study adviser. That’s fun and I hope she have good advices to give me so that I can start my study as soon as possible. I do hope I can do so much courses I only can now because I have so little left anymore and I might even get my examination little faster than what I first thought. I counted that this education takes about 5 years if you can study the whole time but when I am doing it besides my job it might take like 6 years but now when I have already done little bit over the half in 2,5 years I might do the rest in the same time so then I am in the same as the usually students so I feel very proud of my self &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt; but okay I don’t yet even know of where I will do my thesis so that might take some time after all &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.

I am doing little longer days at work because I try to get so much of overtime I can. I shall take them when I start to study so then I won’t go so much on minus with my work hours. On evenings I have only cleaned the house, watched TV and read feng shui books. Yesterday evening we spend few hours on a big car stripper bay because my hubby wanted to find some cheap repair parts for his Rally car. It was actually quite fun to be there and watch all the old and damaged cars &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. It felt like I was on a car graveyard where the cars have been put to rest and I felt like they could tell they own story of their life to me. I thought many time like what have this car been up to in life and who owned it when it was a brand new car. I bet if the car could tell there would be a lot of wonderful stories &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I saw that they was a again searching for more personnel here in this company so I applied (of course) for the job although it might be little bit too technical for me &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. The title for the job is Purchase and the person who gets it will buy all the things for the major projects what ABB will do and visit the places also so that will be nice. I even saw one other work but that job would cause some problem for me because the job require that you’ll spend one whole year in Zambia so I think I might not apply for this one although I am now applying for everything what seams interesting or is away from this unit where I am now &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Now I have applied for 4 different jobs but I haven’t yet heard of them. Of one I might hear on next week (I hope that) because the application due date was yesterday so I hope they will contact me soon and ask to come on interview &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The weather is still nice here in my home town. The nights and mornings start to be colder but otherwise we still have little bit over 20 C degrees at midday. They said on weather report that now in coming weekend we start to get autumn weather so it gets colder and rainier again. That’s little sad but hopefully the fall will be warm and long after all. Last night I wake up middle of the night because it was so cold and I had left the window open so I got up to close it. I notice that the nights start to be quite dark here in Finland again because I had to put on lights before I could close the window. After that the room was much nicer &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysleep.gif" alt=":zz:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. They had major thunderstorms in Helsinki again last night so I am very glad of not living there anymore. The storm came because of the warm weather what they had in Estonia over the week and it came to Helsinki after first doing some damage in Tallinn.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Today here at job we will have a cake and coffee party for the summer workers so the whole finance unit will go and sit together and talk about the summer and say goodbye to these summer workers what we had here. It’s very nice gesture and I bet the summer workers will like it &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. In my youth there was nothing like this or in the companies I worked in. Maybe it has always been like this here but not in other companies here in Vaasa. I shall save some room in my stomach for the cake because party will be after lunch and I want to take a big piece &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay now I have to work little again &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

I am doing little longer days at work because I try to get so much of overtime I can. I shall take them when I start to study so then I won’t go so much on minus with my work hours. On evenings I have only cleaned the house, watched TV and read feng shui books. Yesterday evening we spend few hours on a big car stripper bay because my hubby wanted to find some cheap repair parts for his Rally car. It was actually quite fun to be there and watch all the old and damaged cars <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0">. It felt like I was on a car graveyard where the cars have been put to rest and I felt like they could tell they own story of their life to me. I thought many time like what have this car been up to in life and who owned it when it was a brand new car. I bet if the car could tell there would be a lot of wonderful stories <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>Yesterday I saw that they was a again searching for more personnel here in this company so I applied (of course) for the job although it might be little bit too technical for me <img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0">. The title for the job is Purchase and the person who gets it will buy all the things for the major projects what ABB will do and visit the places also so that will be nice. I even saw one other work but that job would cause some problem for me because the job require that you’ll spend one whole year in Zambia so I think I might not apply for this one although I am now applying for everything what seams interesting or is away from this unit where I am now <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0">. Now I have applied for 4 different jobs but I haven’t yet heard of them. Of one I might hear on next week (I hope that) because the application due date was yesterday so I hope they will contact me soon and ask to come on interview <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>The weather is still nice here in my home town. The nights and mornings start to be colder but otherwise we still have little bit over 20 C degrees at midday. They said on weather report that now in coming weekend we start to get autumn weather so it gets colder and rainier again. That’s little sad but hopefully the fall will be warm and long after all. Last night I wake up middle of the night because it was so cold and I had left the window open so I got up to close it. I notice that the nights start to be quite dark here in Finland again because I had to put on lights before I could close the window. After that the room was much nicer <img src="/img/smilies/graysleep.gif" alt=":zz:" class="middle" border="0">. They had major thunderstorms in Helsinki again last night so I am very glad of not living there anymore. The storm came because of the warm weather what they had in Estonia over the week and it came to Helsinki after first doing some damage in Tallinn.</p>
	<p>Today here at job we will have a cake and coffee party for the summer workers so the whole finance unit will go and sit together and talk about the summer and say goodbye to these summer workers what we had here. It’s very nice gesture and I bet the summer workers will like it <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0">. In my youth there was nothing like this or in the companies I worked in. Maybe it has always been like this here but not in other companies here in Vaasa. I shall save some room in my stomach for the cake because party will be after lunch and I want to take a big piece <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>Okay now I have to work little again <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wave.gif" alt=":wave:" class="middle" border="0">.</p>

After all this blog is all about my journal so I try to write so much of my life I can. The day started nicely with feeding my fish and eating breakfast &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. The weather was quite cold on morning when we wake up. We had only 8 C degrees but the sun was shining and there was a light fog so it tells me that the day will come quite warm after all and we will have nice weather the whole day. Middle of the day we might have something like 22 C degrees so that’s very nice and warm for me. Sadly I will be working the whole day so I can’t enjoy the nice weather. They said on the weather report that over the weekend it will get colder and it will rain again so that’s little boring &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yesterday evening I made some minor Feng Shui changes in our house so we will see how far it will take us. I will keep cleaning our house the whole this week (maybe even next too) on evenings and I also try to solve out these Feng Shui cures what we should do to get better life with a lot of luck, longevity, good health and life would be little easier. I know, I know I can’t believe in this so hard but I want to see how it goes and what might happen if I really try. I some how believe in Feng shui and that it might help us to change our life little or although make us more harmonically too.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I just heard that I shall meet my university study adviser on Tuesday next week. We will plan my study for this coming academic term because I will be working like usually so now I need some help to plan how I will study so that I get so much done I only can. I shall still take a lot of courses from the Open University but I have to take some from the real university too so that’s why I need to plan what/when/how to do it. This will be fun I am already waiting early to study. My next course will start on 3rd September but it will be quite difficult course and something what I don’t like. All my evenings on the whole September will go with management accounting, yeah fun &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I hope I can take some other courses also what might be little bit more interesting after all.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On news they told on morning that our gas and diesel taxes will get higher again and so will do the electricity too so the normal living here in Finland will get more expensive every year &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I am glad that we just bought new cars what consume less of gas and diesel so that will help but the electricity is bad because we warm up the whole house with that and we have a big house so there the invoices will get more bloody from now on. Bugger &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif" alt="&gt;:-[" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay now I have to work little again &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I have 150 invoices what waits for me &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_yawn.gif" alt=":yawn:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

It’s not too warm anymore, we have something like 20 C degrees and the sun is shining. I notice that the nights get quite cold already because on the morning we only had 8 C degrees. Soon I have to put a jacket on me when I go to work. The summer it’s coming to it’s end soon. The fall will be already in next month. I hope we don’t get that much of snow this coming winter because it have been raining so much the whole summer so the fall might actually be quite nice and warm. I do hope that  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On evenings now this week and coming weeks I try to clean our house and try to go through it with the Feng Shui eye. I have read now a lot of books of Feng Shui (mostly of the author Lillian Too because I think she is the best after all) and I shall try to get little bit more harmonical life with it. I have already many years been doing a little but now I shall clear away all the clutter what we have got in all the years we have lived in our house and then I will try to effective my career, wealth, love, education and why not all the corners when I now start  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I have put some items already there for many years ago but they don’t seem to be that powerful or I might have wrong items so now I go through everything and will throw away all what I don’t need anymore or don’t feel for. The ones what I still want to keep I shall put in boxes and carry in to our warehouse. Maybe after that we will see some changes in our life what will make us more happy and healthy. Maybe we even will get little better luck because now it looks like we don’t have anything left of that  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. I let you know how it goes. I shall do this as a research  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. My dear hubby don’t believe in Feng Shui so I shall even to him show that these are very important things in life too &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. It’s little difficult to get some of the items from Finland but I am trying to use my imaginary to find items what is quite similar or might mean here in Finland the same as the items the author use in Asia. Of course I could buy the items from Ebay too but I feel like I can’t buy all the stuff only to get happy so that’s why I sometimes want to use my imaginary too and only buy the stuff what really could make differences and I need to see the result first before I buy more stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Here at my work there are happening weird things because I heard that one of my workmate had to change unit without any premonition  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. They came to her yesterday and said that tomorrow morning you will be doing these things in this unit. She was like yeah sure… &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. But it was for real and today she started at the new unit and on her place there will come someone new from some other totally different area of this company &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_neutral.gif" alt=":|" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. My workmate have been crying the whole yesterday evening and today so it’s not good behave of my boss &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif" alt="&gt;:(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. In my eyes she did loose her points and I don’t appreciate her that much anymore. She never told my workmate why she did do this or what was the reason why everything went like this. This was very weird thing I have to say &lt;img src="/img/smilies/graysigh.gif" alt=":**:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

My where that but I didn’t actually do anything special. On Friday evening we were to the Juthbacka fair market. It was so fun to go through the selling area and see what all kind of things they had. I didn’t find anything to buy but it was ok after all. I watched the people and the booths. There was a lot of nice things but I thought they was little bit too expensive and the only one what I found missed I on few seconds because right away I notice the item someone else notice it too and pick it up in her hands so I only looked when she bought it. I was little bit sad over it &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. My husband found a book and t-shirt what he bought so he was very happy. We will go next year too because they have so different stuff every year so it will be so fun to see what they have next year.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On Saturday I was on my test and I hope it went ok and I’ll pass it. I don’t care of the number now only that I pass it because it was quite difficult test &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_mad.gif" alt="&gt;:(" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. It was little bit funny when I notice that I was the only one who was doing the test. I notice that there were few other names but they never came so only I did the test in the end. I hope the teacher will evaluate the test little nicer now when he only need to go through one paper. Maybe he doesn’t want to disallow the only paper what he got so then I’ll pass it after all. I do hope that &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On Saturday I notice that my very dear cat Kissen is sick. Two years ago the veterinarian told us that Kissen have cancer lumps in her stomach. The  Vet said that Kissen might not see the Christmas 2005 but she saw it and the next one also but now it start to look that she might not see this coming one. I am crying inwardly the whole time now because she is not her self anymore. I notice that Kissen is sleeping so much now and she lost a lot of weight in very short time and her eyes are not that clear anymore and her fur is shaggy so it looks like Kissen is on her way to heaven. I do hope she would get better but I don’t think so. She is already 12 years old and she have had these lumps already in several years so we won’t operate her because she is too old and she wouldn’t feel that good of it after all so I let her go now but I feel so sad that. I want to cry the whole time I am sitting here at my work. I hope she will get a nice end and won’t suffer. I let you know how it goes and how long she will stay here. I hope she would be here for little longer time after all but I notice her lumps gets bigger everyday so it doesn’t look good anymore.  &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I am also little sad over that I don’t have now so much time to read all my friends blogs because this week I start to study again and I am still working so all my time will go there. I shall try to read so much I only can but sometimes it might go weeks before I can answer or also write my own. I shall try to do it on my job place so often I only can &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt; but sometimes my boss comes behind me so then I can’t do anything &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif" alt="&gt;:-[" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. It might change little if I get some other work but also there I might have less of time in the beginning. I am still applying for everything what sounds fun so hopefully soon I will have so good news to tell &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Now I am waiting for be informed of the ones what I already applied for. On Wednesday I know more about the export assistant work and of the rest I might know more of on the end of August. I let you know how it goes &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

I want to cry the whole time I am sitting here at my work. I hope she will get a nice end and won’t suffer. I let you know how it goes and how long she will stay here. I hope she would be here for little longer time after all but I notice her lumps gets bigger everyday so it doesn’t look good anymore.  </p>
	<p>I am also little sad over that I don’t have now so much time to read all my friends blogs because this week I start to study again and I am still working so all my time will go there. I shall try to read so much I only can but sometimes it might go weeks before I can answer or also write my own. I shall try to do it on my job place so often I only can <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"> but sometimes my boss comes behind me so then I can’t do anything <img src="/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif" alt=">:-[" class="middle" border="0">. It might change little if I get some other work but also there I might have less of time in the beginning. I am still applying for everything what sounds fun so hopefully soon I will have so good news to tell <img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0">. Now I am waiting for be informed of the ones what I already applied for. On Wednesday I know more about the export assistant work and of the rest I might know more of on the end of August. I let you know how it goes <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0">. </p>

I feel like the weeks go by so fast that I can’t even think that fast (I have always been a slow thinker…). Today after my work we will the whole family go to Juthbacka fair market. It will be so fun to go there and see everything. I hope I will find some Feng shui items and books. My dear hubby wants to find something for his car and my parents some kind of nice painting. We will see how it goes for us. I am little worried that the area will be quite wet because it rained so much on the evening and the whole night but now the sun is shining so hopefully it will dry the grass and we don’t need to put on our gumboots because they are not that nice to walk with many hours. I love to go to this fair market because there will be so much to see and a lot of people too. We usually walk very slow and watch through every stand. Usually there is not that much to buy but sometimes (if you are early enough) you might find something nice. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yesterday afternoon I again applied a job here at this company where I am now so hold you fingers crossed. This job might be little bit difficult because you need little bit more of the technical skills but it was not demand to have these skills so I decided to try apply and I notice that they had quite many women on this unit in similar duties so I can’t be that hard and like I say everything can be learned. I just counted that I have already applied 4 different job in only one week so it start to look little better now. I tell me that there are quite many different jobs available what I can  apply for now I only need little bit luck to get some of them and I hope the one what I get will be very interesting and I’ll enjoy to be there. I shall keep applying all kind of jobs at ABB Oy so maybe someday I will get one. Maybe they get so bored with my applying that they finally give me a job where I can be a little bit longer and what will give me a lot of challenge too, only to shut me down for a while &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt; Our fish and cats are doing well and now we even got a quite young brown hare on our yard too so it’s fun to see when he’s eating our grass and jumping around. He’s little afraid of us still but he start to know that we live in the house so now he only jumps few steps when he sees is but he’s not running away anymore. I try to stay very calm when I see him and only say that don’t worry I am not coming close to you. I bet he understand Finnish good because he’s not that scare of us  &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. My parents have a big family of hedgehogs living on their yard. It’s so fun to watch them going around there and my parent feed them so the family will stay there for a long time because they have everything so good and they don’t need to be afraid of anything &lt;img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.   &lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;For me the happiness might mean something else than what it means for someone else. I have notice that there is all kind of people and they all have quite different point of view of everything and that’s might be the same with the thought of happiness too. Or has these thought to do something with the culture differences ? Does happiness mean something else in some other country than what it means here in Finland, well I don’t think so. I more like think it’s after all a personal thing but okay the culture might change it little but the base is in that what people actually need.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt; There is so many things what might put you happy like family, money, job, friends, fame, hobby, house, car and the list goes on and on… but does these things really make you happy in the end or are people searching for something what they can’t have…? Okay I know that people usually feel happy when they are waiting for something to happen like a vacation to start, new jog to begin, new relationship to get more seriously or a trip to start… that list might be quite long but when they get it are they happy then or will they begin to wait for something else ?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I started to think this when my dear friend wrote me an email and said that she have notice that I am not happy with my dear hubby and I need to divorce him. Well how can she know that, maybe I am happy in the end and maybe I am searching for something else than a new relationship (because there it would end after all). I don’t feel for giving up that easily either so I decided to fight for my marriage and seek for my happiness from something else like study, work and friendship (also animals). I know that my dear hubby loves me deed, deed inside him and I love him too so it’s only to work through all the difficulties’ what we sometimes have (we are both the only child so we are use to get everything so that’s why we usually can’t take care of the other that easy and mistakes some times happens when we don’t understand each other). For me the happiness is more like go forward in career, read a good book, see a good movie, be with my family, laugh with my friends and work mates, also do well in my study and help people. Mostly I feel happy when I can write down something or talk with people even with the strange ones. Is this really happiness or do I only think I am happy when I do these things, I don’t know but I think we people need to think we are happy to feel happiness otherwise we seek for something else the whole life and that’s why there is so much of bad things too because people try to search for something what they can’t have and they think it would be happiness if they get it…. Or what do you think ?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Happiness is a very difficult word and it might mean so many things. There are a lot of little things what brings little happiness in to our life and there might be something big what bring more happiness. There might be something what we can work with to get the happy feeling but there might be something what we can’t do anything to but we will get happy after all and there also might be something what we can’t do anything to what makes us unhappy like someone dies or something else happens then we only need to rethink again and make the situation some how better and hope for the happiness to come later on in some other ways. I hope people are happy deep inside and feel great although the life sometimes feels like shit &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.  &lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;I am ok, little bored of my job and nervous over my test on Saturday because I haven’t read that good and it’s my last time to try this test so if I won’t pass it I have to go through the whole course again and I am not that happy about it because the course is quite difficult but otherwise I am fine. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I am now eagerly waiting for to hear something from these jobs I applied. I’ll see if there will come something else to apply for too because I heard that this third job I applied for last week went to a summer worker so I am quite angry about the situation that a young girl who only worked at this unit for the summer time got the job I had applied for because they didn’t want to move me away from this job because I just leaned to do it, well okay that’s a good reason but why this summer worker got a much longer work contract than what I got... how can this be right for me who have already been in work life quite many years got only job for few months (6 months) that this summer worker got for one whole year, yeah it sounds little weird. This much did they appreciate me but okay I understand and in the end I know I don’t want to be here because I am not appreciating this job either and I think this is similar to a usually factory work like conveyor duties so I feel like I want little bit more after all and actually I do want to climb on the career ladder higher than this so that’s why I am now searching for something else. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I want to be some kind of smaller Manager already and I need more challenging duties than what I have now and I feel now that I have to show where I can go. Does someone else feel like this ? I don’t know if there is only me who want to life to be like this or is there someone else too who want to show and go forward in life and in career ? Is it only for Finnish people to go forward or are there some other culture the same way ? I know it’s for men little different, they feel like they need to go forward but does woman feel like this too or is it for them more important to get a family and bring up children ? &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I don’t know but I have been thinking this some while now because the women I have been talking with the family is more important than the career and for me it’s vice versa. Am I a weird woman or what ? &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;  I know I am already too old to get children or okay the doctor said that I still have about 5 years time but I start to be in risk zone already so I have to do the decision of children soon because I don’t have that much of time anymore and to be a elderer birth giver is never a good idea for the body or for the child. Okay there is always a possibility to adopt but I know that my dear hubby would never go with that thought, he want to have own children and I am not really sure if he want to have children at all… &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" alt=":crazy:" class="middle" border="0"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Well here were my thoughts today…

It’s because I have a test on Saturday and there is a lot to do at my workplace now. I have a lot of invoices to go through. I must say it’s very boring and I applied today one other work here inside this company. I hope I’ll get it because this job would be very interesting although very difficult so I am little nervous over it too but I do hope I get it. I also haven’t yet heard of the one job what I applied last week so it’s still open. Yesterday I heard of this third one I applied that I won’t get it because it would only last few months more than what I have now so that’s why they won’t take me. Well okay I am not that sad because the job would have been the same after all so I am not angry. I am actually quite happy because I don’t want to stay in this unit because it’s only about finance and it’s not for me. I need little more than only invoices and watching computer. Hold you fingers crossed that I will get something else soon and it will be little different &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On Monday and Tuesday I had my boss sitting next to me here at my workplace so I couldn’t write anything because she was on the same computer and watched what I do on the whole day. Yeah that’s true, she was watching &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"&gt; but this was because she is so new and wanted to see what happens on my unit and how I use my programs. It was ok, but little irritating because I couldn’t do that much after all because she was asking so much of everything and then she wanted to know how I feel for this job, well I couldn’t really say that well I don’t… &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif" alt="&gt;:-[" class="middle" border="0"&gt; I only tried to show her that I can everything good and I work really hard. On evenings I had to stay at work little bit longer so that I got everything done in time. We talk the whole time when she was with me so it was good. I got to know her little better and now she knows how I work. I hope it will help me to get better duties now. Today I have been alone here so that’s been really nice &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Here in Vaasa we have had nice weather the whole week. The sun has shined this week and it has been quite warm. They said on weather report on morning that in quite many towns there have been strong thunderstorms but not in Vaasa so I am glad of that. It looks like we will get sun shine the rest of the week too so that's great because On Friday evening we will go to Pietarsaari (it’s about 100 km from Vaasa). They will have the yearly Juthbacka market fair. It will be so fun to go there because last year we was on the same time in Jyväskylä but now this year the Rally was little bit earlier. The market fair is so big and there will be a lot of sellers so it’s so great to go through the area and walk, walk and walk &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0"&gt;. Okay there will be a lot of old stuff (like antique) but it’s so fun to see them all although I won’t buy it. They will also have new stuff too and all kind of items. I usually find some CD’s and books also crystal goods and other fun stuff. There will be quite many people too so we need to go very early to get everything because after few hours there won’t be anything to buy because all the good stuff is gone. People start to come earlier and earlier every year to buy the stuff what they want. I’ll tell you more of this fair when I have been there because every year it’s little bit different and the good changes too so that’s why it’s always so fun to go there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;small&gt; &lt;a href="http://lifeinfinland.blog.co.uk/2007/08/15/already_wednesday~2812281/#comments"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/small&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</default:description><content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"><![CDATA[	<p>I feel like the days go by so fast that I don’t really notice them. It’s because I have a test on Saturday and there is a lot to do at my workplace now. I have a lot of invoices to go through. I must say it’s very boring and I applied today one other work here inside this company. I hope I’ll get it because this job would be very interesting although very difficult so I am little nervous over it too but I do hope I get it. I also haven’t yet heard of the one job what I applied last week so it’s still open. Yesterday I heard of this third one I applied that I won’t get it because it would only last few months more than what I have now so that’s why they won’t take me. Well okay I am not that sad because the job would have been the same after all so I am not angry. I am actually quite happy because I don’t want to stay in this unit because it’s only about finance and it’s not for me. I need little more than only invoices and watching computer. Hold you fingers crossed that I will get something else soon and it will be little different <img src="/img/smilies/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>On Monday and Tuesday I had my boss sitting next to me here at my workplace so I couldn’t write anything because she was on the same computer and watched what I do on the whole day. Yeah that’s true, she was watching <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"> but this was because she is so new and wanted to see what happens on my unit and how I use my programs. It was ok, but little irritating because I couldn’t do that much after all because she was asking so much of everything and then she wanted to know how I feel for this job, well I couldn’t really say that well I don’t… <img src="/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif" alt=">:-[" class="middle" border="0"> I only tried to show her that I can everything good and I work really hard. On evenings I had to stay at work little bit longer so that I got everything done in time. We talk the whole time when she was with me so it was good. I got to know her little better and now she knows how I work. I hope it will help me to get better duties now. Today I have been alone here so that’s been really nice <img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0">.</p>
	<p>Here in Vaasa we have had nice weather the whole week. The sun has shined this week and it has been quite warm. They said on weather report on morning that in quite many towns there have been strong thunderstorms but not in Vaasa so I am glad of that. It looks like we will get sun shine the rest of the week too so that's great because On Friday evening we will go to Pietarsaari (it’s about 100 km from Vaasa). They will have the yearly Juthbacka market fair. It will be so fun to go there because last year we was on the same time in Jyväskylä but now this year the Rally was little bit earlier. The market fair is so big and there will be a lot of sellers so it’s so great to go through the area and walk, walk and walk <img src="/img/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" class="middle" border="0">. Okay there will be a lot of old stuff (like antique) but it’s so fun to see them all although I won’t buy it. They will also have new stuff too and all kind of items. I usually find some CD’s and books also crystal goods and other fun stuff. There will be quite many people too so we need to go very early to get everything because after few hours there won’t be anything to buy because all the good stuff is gone. People start to come earlier and earlier every year to buy the stuff what they want. I’ll tell you more of this fair when I have been there because every year it’s little bit different and the good changes too so that’s why it’s always so fun to go there.</p>

I haven&amp;rsquo;t really had time to write because there have been so much to do here at my work. I had huge amount of invoices waiting for me, also I had emails and payments to do. Now I have done quite a lot so everything start to look little better.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I also applied few job here at ABB few days ago. The first one is very similar to what I have now but it would last little bit longer (to summer) but the other one what I applied for is something what I am little bit like hoping for. The job would be permanent and on he export unit so it would be something what I would like because then I could take care of export arrangements, paper work and keep contact with the customer. I call the boss on that unit and told her that I am very interesting and I have done similar duties before so hold you fingers crossed that I&amp;rsquo;ll get the job &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. The lady told me that this person who gets the job would take care of export dueties to USA, Brazil, England, Norway and China. Well I know more of this after few weeks. I hope, I hope &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;              &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay now I will tell you little bit of the trip we had. Everything was ok and we tried this time to see little bit more of the town too. I already put some pictures of the hotel where we stayed and from the museums what we visited. I also tried to put some pictures of the nature. I also will download some pictures of the Ähtäri zoo, over the weekend. There was so many cute animals &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/438/1870438_2ab3d4193f_s.jpg" alt="ralli2" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="150" height="99"&gt;&lt;img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/439/1870439_ad69eb1334_s.jpg" alt="ralli3" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="150" height="99"&gt;&lt;img src="http://data4.blog.de/media/440/1870440_3bff942f1e_s.jpg" alt="ralli" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="150" height="99"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Everything went well and we were already on Monday evening at Jyväskylä. On Monday we drove through some of the special stages so that we could see where we will be and watch when the cars go by. On Tuesday we where most of the times at Jyväskylä Centrum and watched when the team trucks started to come to Paviljonki (service park). We also visited Pandas candy factory and went to few of the museums at the area. &lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;On Wednesday we drove through few new special stages so that we could see how they look like and how it feels to drive through them &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. We also stayed a lot on Paviljonki and watched all the peoples and cars what was there. We also took quite a lot of photos of the rally cars. On Thursday we spend the most of the time at Service Park because they open all the shops and the rally mass. We also walked around the area and watched everything. It was so fun and I bought a lot of clothes for the winter time &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;&lt;span&gt;. We also met Marcus Grönholm and chat few minutes with him (his's my hubbys old friend from the childhood). We also talked with a Italian seller who we have always been talking with. Now he had little bit more time to talk with us. We always buy a lot of toy cars and clothes from him because he&amp;rsquo;s so nice and already began to notice us in different way. He always know that I seek for something different so this year I bought a lot his own designed clothes, not only the rally team clothes like I usually buy. I already had most of rally team clothes so that&amp;rsquo;s why I wanted to buy something different and he had so wonderful warm clothes for the winter time so I couldn't stop buying &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;               &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On Friday the rally competition finally started so we went on morning to the special stages where we wanted to be. Now we notice that the peace officers are really nasty this year and they didn&amp;rsquo;t want to have wievers on the offside so we was really angry on them because we was so early in morning and only wanted to walk few hundred metres to our place but they said no and the boss of the peace officer said that go away you can&amp;rsquo;t be here... and we was like WHAT we only will walk on the general road and then stay behind few bushes and he still said no. We also heard that many people had a lot difficultines with the peace officers this year and it&amp;rsquo;s not because they will take care of the wievers because some of the special stages you could stay where ever you wanted to and on others you couldn&amp;rsquo;t even get inside the competition area. They made many people very angry. I also heard that few special stages parkplace where so full that the peace officers said to people go home and never come here again, well this was nice service&amp;hellip;. or what ? I only say that this will make people even more angry and they won&amp;rsquo;t come and see the rally next year. Even we started to be really tired of argueing with the peace officers and I said to my dear hubby that next year I want to go some where else, like to Germany, England, Italy, Portugal or Spain. I have now had enough of this and next year I want to go somewhere else where I can see the competition. I am not that happy of watching something if I can&amp;rsquo;t see anything. Here in Finland you need couple of binoculars to see few cally cars because you have to stay so far away from the road and who want to watch something behind terrible bunch of people because then you need to jump up and down the whole race and who want to do that ? Okay it&amp;rsquo;s a very good diet but where is the plesure&amp;hellip;.&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/14sad.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; No this was the last race here in Finland, next year it will be somewhere else for sure, maybe Portugal or Germany. We talked about this with the Italian seller and he said that Spain is very nice because it&amp;rsquo;s so&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;huge happening and you feel like you would be in Disney Land, yeah fits me &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I also notice something else... that where is all the foreign wievers ? because there was only few from Estonia, Norway and France but usually there have been so many from all over the world. Now I only heard finnish where ever I went&amp;hellip; not that good for me&amp;hellip; because I love the feeling of hearing different languages and see the people. There is also a rumour going around between rally watchers and few of them said to me that none of the foreigner watchers want to come to Finland because you can&amp;rsquo;t see anything here and it&amp;rsquo;s very difficult to switch places (like change between the special stages). In other countries you are more like on your own and you can stay with your toes on the road if you want to and have the courage to do it &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/05biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t but it would be nice to sit on the side of the road and see something &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="23" height="15"&gt;. I have always been very carefully watcher who don&amp;rsquo;t want to get all the painfull stones on me or be scare of the car so&amp;hellip; but the line must go somewhere of how much security the peace officers can offer after all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;               &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Well, our whole weekend went mostly on the same way, seeing people, fighting with the peace officers and shoping. We also tried to go and see a cave what is near Jyväskylä but it had rained so much over the month so it was so much of water on the path so we had to give up so we never saw the Hitonluola (=damn cave, it was the name of the cave &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;). I felt little sad of it but was damn difficult to get there &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. On Sunday, on our trip home, we also went to Ähtäri Zoo and that was fun. I saw a lot of beautiful animals and smell the stink of them, I felt like I was in heaven &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;

Now we notice that the peace officers are really nasty this year and they didn&rsquo;t want to have wievers on the offside so we was really angry on them because we was so early in morning and only wanted to walk few hundred metres to our place but they said no and the boss of the peace officer said that go away you can&rsquo;t be here... and we was like WHAT we only will walk on the general road and then stay behind few bushes and he still said no. We also heard that many people had a lot difficultines with the peace officers this year and it&rsquo;s not because they will take care of the wievers because some of the special stages you could stay where ever you wanted to and on others you couldn&rsquo;t even get inside the competition area. They made many people very angry. I also heard that few special stages parkplace where so full that the peace officers said to people go home and never come here again, well this was nice service&hellip;. or what ? I only say that this will make people even more angry and they won&rsquo;t come and see the rally next year. Even we started to be really tired of argueing with the peace officers and I said to my dear hubby that next year I want to go some where else, like to Germany, England, Italy, Portugal or Spain. I have now had enough of this and next year I want to go somewhere else where I can see the competition. I am not that happy of watching something if I can&rsquo;t see anything. Here in Finland you need couple of binoculars to see few cally cars because you have to stay so far away from the road and who want to watch something behind terrible bunch of people because then you need to jump up and down the whole race and who want to do that ? Okay it&rsquo;s a very good diet but where is the plesure&hellip;.<img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/14sad.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"> No this was the last race here in Finland, next year it will be somewhere else for sure, maybe Portugal or Germany. We talked about this with the Italian seller and he said that Spain is very nice because it&rsquo;s so<span>  </span>huge happening and you feel like you would be in Disney Land, yeah fits me <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. I also notice something else... that where is all the foreign wievers ? because there was only few from Estonia, Norway and France but usually there have been so many from all over the world. Now I only heard finnish where ever I went&hellip; not that good for me&hellip; because I love the feeling of hearing different languages and see the people. There is also a rumour going around between rally watchers and few of them said to me that none of the foreigner watchers want to come to Finland because you can&rsquo;t see anything here and it&rsquo;s very difficult to switch places (like change between the special stages). In other countries you are more like on your own and you can stay with your toes on the road if you want to and have the courage to do it <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/05biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. I wouldn&rsquo;t but it would be nice to sit on the side of the road and see something <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="23" height="15">. I have always been very carefully watcher who don&rsquo;t want to get all the painfull stones on me or be scare of the car so&hellip; but the line must go somewhere of how much security the peace officers can offer after all.</span><span> </span><span>               </p>
	<p>Well, our whole weekend went mostly on the same way, seeing people, fighting with the peace officers and shoping. We also tried to go and see a cave what is near Jyväskylä but it had rained so much over the month so it was so much of water on the path so we had to give up so we never saw the Hitonluola (=damn cave, it was the name of the cave <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">). I felt little sad of it but was damn difficult to get there <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. On Sunday, on our trip home, we also went to Ähtäri Zoo and that was fun. I saw a lot of beautiful animals and smell the stink of them, I felt like I was in heaven <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. </span>

	&lt;p&gt;Now is the rally over and I am at home. The whole trip was wonderful and I took a lot of pictures what I will put here little bit later on. Here is few pictures and the result of the rally:&lt;/p&gt;

I have notice that many people say that they are not in that job what they want to be but this where they are now is ok. Someone even says right away that this is not the job where they want to be and many even have study to something else where they are now. Few months ago I talked with a man who worked at the Human resource side and he said that my work history would already tell me that I should seek for jobs like that (yeah I know I am already searhing). Usually many people as I have changed workplaces a lot and done all kind of different duetis, They usually ends up working at the human resource side. He also said that with my knowledge of so many things would make me very good in helping others who have difficultiness at their workplace.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Do people actually work with something they don’t even like or is it something else ? There are many people who says that they end up working with this and that and now they like the job but do they really do it or is it only because they feel safe in that work what they have done for years and they can it and of course the salary will come every month. Will people stay at they workplace only because it is easy ?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I talked with my mother that I have so much pain in my neck and in stomach only because I have to sit fronth of a computer every hour and work with a lot of invoices. My mon says that yeah now you know how I have been feeling all my life and I was like WHAT… why did you stay at work what made you sick and unhappy and she said well I was too stupid to study and I was again like WHAT…. How can you think like this of course you could have study what ever you wanted to and NOBODY is too stupid to study if they really want do that. I said to her why didn’t you go to school after you got me and she was like then it was not that common for people to study when they was older and I said yeah but you could have done it after like when you was closer to 50’s and again she said now she was too stupid to study. I just cave up with her and only though how many people like my mom is out there struggling with ther job only because they can’t image them self on going to study or chaging the job to little bit easier and nices ? &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay I know how difficult it is to find the job where you would enjoy to be (I have been applying so much of different jobs and none of them have ever even taking the contact with me…) but why stop searching if that is hard sometimes ? People who don’t have the education to be bosses can be it if they have worked many years at the same duties where they want to be boss at. I don’t think nothing is unattainable if you really want to it to happen. I also now that everyone can’t have the real dream work but why stop there because I bet there will be a lot of similar jobs where you can apply for like if you can’t be a policeman you can be a guard or if you want to work as a atronaut in Nasa you could apply for some other works at Nasa or be a pilot or if you want to be a pope you can work as a pries and then try to klimp up on the career ladder if you want to. Like they say be coutious about what you dream of because it might become true someday…. I think that everyones work is very important and all kind of people needs here in this world but if you don’t feel happy why stay in the job what makes you sick ?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Are people really working with what they want to or is’t only me who is unhappy ? I know many people who aren’t that happy but they stay there no mater what. I like many people who works as a government official are not happy because every time you need to go there and ask something there is a very unhappy woman who won’t even smile although how hard you work with getting her to smile even little… They only looks at you like you would be something bad and then they give you all the papers without any extra words…. Even at my workplace there are people who would want to do somethint else then what they are doing but they don’t want to look for something else because then they will loose the feeling of knowing everything and how bad is that…&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Me and my mother sometimes entertain us self with thinking how animals would be if they would be humans and what kind of work they would be at. Like my cat Jasmin would be a boss for sure because she want to look that everything goes ok but she would be a quite tight boss, I think. My cat Siina would be nurce because she likes to take care of everything and my cat Kissen would be a model. Also my fish have some different personalitys and mostly I think that my suckfish Imu would be a very lazy worker because even now he don’t do the only thing what he need to like keeping the glass in our aquaruim clean. No, he only comes to eat when I feed them and after that he only stay at the castle and does nothing. I wouldn’t want to work with him.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;How is it are people happy at their workplace ?  &lt;/p&gt;

Tomorrow will my short vacation start and It feels great. I am already eagerly waiting for our small trip to Jyväskylä. I have bought a book and tomorrow I start to pack. I have to remember to take rain cloths with us because they said yesterday on weather report that the rain will continue next week &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/14sad.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I was so hoping for sunny wether but... well I hope it will change and that the report was wrong after all &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/04smile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I shall read a book from the author David Baldacci. The name of the book is Timebomb. I hope it will be a good book. It was the only one what I found cheap and was quite interesting. I love crime, fantasy and horror books. I was little bit thinking that it might feel little weird to read a horror book in the sun shine so I took a crime novel insted &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Soon it will be winter here in Finland. I have notice that the time goes usually quite fast after our trip to Jyväskylä althought the snow won't come untill November. I usually start to feed the birds and squirrels in end of September. It's so fun to watch when all the squirrels comes to eat (we usually have 7 of them) and all the different birds. I remember that last year our squirrels came quite spunky because they started to come to windows and look inside when they notice that the bird feeder, where the sunflower seeds are, was empty. Once I hears a very tiny kock at the window too so I was like WHAT &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.... and there sat a squirrel looking at me &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;... I wonder if the squirrel learned to kock on window and will it do it this coming winter also...&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Yesterday I notice a funny thing with my fish. I have hear that people say fish don't sleep well my does and I almost hear them snore &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/grayyes.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. Yesterday I notice that one of my smaller fish (one of the catfish) was sleeping on a bigger leaf. I almost though she was sick or something because she was really sleeping &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; but then I knock on the glass, she woke up and started to swim like she usually does. After few minutes she again went on the leaf to sleep. She looked so cute and the leaf just barely could bear her &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/04smile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. My fish are quite weird in many ways. I hope they will be okay after our trip because I won't see them in one whole week. We shall tomorrow go to the petshop and buy some food tablets for them so they will have a lot of food and then I'll ask if my parents can go every second day and see how they are doing and maybe even give little food if they need it (Yeah I bet, they are always hungry...&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;) althoug the petshop seller said that the fish don't need any other food only the tablet so.... For me it sounds little bit weird but I have to trus him with this &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/10rolleyessmile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. It's so great to watch the fish.

&lt;p&gt;Okay now I have to work little again because I have to make the invoice base so small I only can today because next week there will come a lot of new invoices &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/smileys60.gif" border="0" alt="" width="34" height="17"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Tomorrow will my short vacation start and It feels great. I am already eagerly waiting for our small trip to Jyväskylä. I have bought a book and tomorrow I start to pack. I have to remember to take rain cloths with us because they said yesterday on weather report that the rain will continue next week <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/14sad.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. I was so hoping for sunny wether but... well I hope it will change and that the report was wrong after all <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/04smile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. I shall read a book from the author David Baldacci. The name of the book is Timebomb. I hope it will be a good book. It was the only one what I found cheap and was quite interesting. I love crime, fantasy and horror books. I was little bit thinking that it might feel little weird to read a horror book in the sun shine so I took a crime novel insted <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">.</p>
	<p>Soon it will be winter here in Finland. I have notice that the time goes usually quite fast after our trip to Jyväskylä althought the snow won&#39;t come untill November. I usually start to feed the birds and squirrels in end of September. It&#39;s so fun to watch when all the squirrels comes to eat (we usually have 7 of them) and all the different birds. I remember that last year our squirrels came quite spunky because they started to come to windows and look inside when they notice that the bird feeder, where the sunflower seeds are, was empty. Once I hears a very tiny kock at the window too so I was like WHAT <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">.... and there sat a squirrel looking at me <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">... I wonder if the squirrel learned to kock on window and will it do it this coming winter also...<img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. </p>
	<p>Yesterday I notice a funny thing with my fish. I have hear that people say fish don&#39;t sleep well my does and I almost hear them snore <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/grayyes.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. Yesterday I notice that one of my smaller fish (one of the catfish) was sleeping on a bigger leaf. I almost though she was sick or something because she was really sleeping <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"> but then I knock on the glass, she woke up and started to swim like she usually does. After few minutes she again went on the leaf to sleep. She looked so cute and the leaf just barely could bear her <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/04smile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. My fish are quite weird in many ways. I hope they will be okay after our trip because I won&#39;t see them in one whole week. We shall tomorrow go to the petshop and buy some food tablets for them so they will have a lot of food and then I&#39;ll ask if my parents can go every second day and see how they are doing and maybe even give little food if they need it (Yeah I bet, they are always hungry...<img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">) althoug the petshop seller said that the fish don&#39;t need any other food only the tablet so.... For me it sounds little bit weird but I have to trus him with this <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/10rolleyessmile.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. It&#39;s so great to watch the fish. I never thought it will be this fun <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"> and they all have different personalities so that makes it even more fun.</p>

That is something what I don't understand. This guy have been already a very long time a cyclist competitor so woudn't he know about everything already. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;After this news report I started to wonder how much the world have change in only few decades. Now you can't trust anyone anymore and you have to be very carefully in giving your personal informations to someone/something. Here in Finland few decades ago you didn't even need to clock your doors at night in a smaller cityes (Helsinki have always been little different.... but it the town also have changes to the worce in few years time) and woman could walk on a street very late on evening and nothing happened. Now you can't even turn on TV or read a newspaper without knowing that there has again happened something. There is more crime, terrorism, heckles, rapes, cons and violences to goods than ever before and the number only gets higher every year. Do people actually want to live in world like this or are we to scare to do something to get rid of the bad things ? Why does people who make these things do it and why are they like they are ? I know that some of them are sick but peoples like that have always been so how could we taken care of them better few decdes ago or have people now a days got more sick....&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;For me this "not trurst people" is little bit difficult because I have always been little naive and I want to think that all people are good deep (deep) inside. I trust little bit too much on everyone although I have worked with people who tries to do everything to con you. When I workd at hospital I saw a lot of things that might have fraitened many but not me. I still belive in good in people. I also worked at the Employments agency for many years and there you saw all kind of people and many of them was criminals or people who wanted to live a easy life so they make up things to con me. Now you think that I stoped to belive in people but no. I still trust everyone. Okay then I worked at the Real Estate Company as a renter and there people lied of everything, of course most of the credit reference. Yeah and I still belive in people.... I think I never can stop beliving althoug my husband is very suspicious of everything and everyone. Of couse it starts to impact on me that I hears so much on news and of peoples talks about everything so I am little more carefull that before but some how I think it's very sad when you have to all the time think how carefully and scare you need to be. It's like you don't anymore feel safe and you can't forget anything, like some night you leave your car doors open in mistake and next morning the car is not there anymore..... Or something like that. Now a days you cant' even leave any working tools outside over the night, they will have disappeared for sure on morning....&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Even in my little hometown Vaasa there start to be all kind of crimes, other violence and cons so we can't feel that safe anymore, not in the same way like before. I don't actually want to live my life in fair of something happening. In my last workplace there was a worker who was so scare of everything and she didn't want to her boys to grow up and be independent. She is still really scare of leting them go out alone, go to swim, stores or some where like that and I was like thinking how can this have happened because this woman have been before a very brave one and worked in many different countries and done all kind of things there and now she is like this, a very scary woman, and she is not old, only 43 years old so I don't know how can she have changes this much after she got the children..... Is the world going to this ? &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Would that be a nice wold when you can't go out anymore because you are afraid of something (crime, polution, cons, violence, people... You name it). The houses will be like strongholds/prisons so that who tries to come in can't enter. You will work from home and do shopping through very securitet computer/phone. You will only have a virtual lover and maybe there won't even be chidren anymore. Cloned people will be born as a adults and then they behave like robots. There won't be any food left because it's not safe to eat. You will get a pill what will give you all the things what body needs. And the list goes on and on, thill there is nothing left.... &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;What do you think ?&lt;/p&gt;

I am already waiting eagerly for it although I will be angry on how short it is but it's better than nothing &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. We had the whole yesterday wonderful sunny weather but now on morning it looked like it might raintoday, again. I hope not because I would feel for lttle warm and sun shine now and I do hope next week will be really good weather and warm so that I won't freezeout there in bushes &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. It will be fun to meet all these people who we have started to know from these last times when the Rally have been here. I have been to this Rally for about 7 years and my husband have been to something like 15 times. We alweays meet some new people who we start to talk with and it so fun. I don't like to sit on special stages and watch cars (only the first 20 is ok) but I like to watch people and listening what they are saying to each other, no mather what languages they are talking. Even I don't understand what they are saying I think it's fun because it's so interesting to see how they say the words and how they behave. Sometimes people notice I am checking up them and then they start to talk so that's great. I love to talk with people &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I don't know how this happens but it seems to be so that I always break everything and I don't know why. I don't know if I have a bad touch or something like that &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; because when I try to do something I either break it or transform it to something else &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I start to have a small fair of touching things and at home I always say to my husband that can you put the dvd on because I might break it if I do it (it have happened so many times already. I only need to press one button but some how it never goes like I have planed....). This is actually quite weird because I only need to look at some machine it goes "kaput" (asunder) and I never know how or why. Okay I am not at all technical but still it won't go asunder only of watching or can it ? &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="23" height="15"&gt;. I also ruin a lot of stuff and I never wanted or planed to do that but some how it always ended up bad when I have either cleaned or done something else. I don't know why this happens but it might because I never really think when I am doing something, I only do it and then afterward see what happened and get shocked. The other thing is that I am always in hurry when I do things. I have never been a organized and pedantic person. I am more like, okay this need to be done now and I hope I will get it done easily and fast. This way I also work so some jobs I am really good at but some I am not. Like go through invoices is not the best work for me because here you need to be very precise and I am not that all (not even close). I do huge amount of mistakes and then they complate and I have to clear things out (blääh &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/smiley-money-mouth.gif" border="0" alt="" width="18" height="18"&gt;). I am not doing this on purpose but they some how thinks like that after all. I do hope to get some other work where my other great skill will come in handy because I know there are namy work like that (I have already have few of them) but some how they are always very hard to get when I am already in a workplace I don't fit or enjoy to be. I am little bit nervous over that I will stay here for a long time and I don't want to do that. I try everyday to see if there will be some other work available at the units where I know I would be a better worker but there are any yet. Hopefully come more now in August. I would right away apply for it and hope for to get it also. Hold you fingers scrossed &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay now I need to start to work little again. Have to ask through email if people inside ABB would send me some invoices before Cash in Time starts on first of August. Well nice to ask for invoices.... well yeah, I though that same...(&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/graysighw.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="24"&gt;)&lt;/p&gt;

He had scan them from the usually pictures. I was thinking like what is this. We have already been married for 6 years and together from summer '98. I know that then when we started to been together this girl had left him and he was really debressive and bad in mouth about it. He was so angry on her and tried to get back together but he started to be with me insted, maybe in first to make this girl jealous. Well that never happened and then he said that he loves me now and we want to marry me and everything like that. All happened really fast and it took only few years from that when we had moved to Vaasa (we met in Helsinki and he's from there, his parents live still there), build a house and got married. I though he had already forgot this old girlfriend but it seams not like that. Now I ask my self that what are happening with us. Okay I know that first love is always first love and you never get over it, it stays with yiu the rest of you life and you will always remember it.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Now me self started to think do I really love my dear husband or is it something else what I feel, like friendship and everything like that. We never felt this wonderful passioned feeling of love and happiness when we met eath other. I was like okay this is a gay who I want to know little better and I had just moved to Helsinki and felt little bit lonely. I had my friends from the new workplace and my cousins but I felt like I need little bit more and his car was so wonderful that I was thinkig like this is might be a interesting guy. I almost left him few times but we moved together and he sold all my things so fast that I didn't know where to go if we would have separated. Well like this it went few years and then he wanted to have some change in his life and we moved to my hometown Vaasa and here we have been after that. I think I might love him and I would never leave him but sometimes I do get irritated on him and I am like thinking this is not a happy life. I know that he gets often very irritated and angry on me too. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I have actually never felt this passionate love what so many people are talking about, not even then when I was younger and change boyfriends like a gypsy change his shirt (that's a old saying here in Finland). I never like could die for anyone, I was only thinking it's so fun to get to know someone little better. I left them and they left me and always I found someone new who I "fall in love with" and forget the last one. My husband is the longest relationship that I have had and I have like get to use with him and I couldn't leave him and I also know that if I would leave him I could loose everything, the house, yarden, my parents house and everything else what I have (and what is for sure mine) because he's a very angry person who want to hurt everyone who is some how hurting him. I have notice that in these years what we have been together and of his sayings. This is little bit like fraudulent because he gets very angry when someone hurts him mentaly but he does it daily with me and he's not even caring of it. Like few years ago I notice his hobby saving porn pictures on his computer and I said to him that I don't like this because the pictures was not nice. I think that  little porn is ok and some of the pictures might even be very beautiful but there pictures was not like that, they was very dreadful and I said like no way not pictures like this. He promised that he will take them off from the computer and surf only on the better porn websites but he's still doing the thing I said no to and taking these awful pictures. He's always on these webistes when he can. I don't understand, doesn't he think I am enough..... &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I never though I will be in this situation asking what love is. I do love my parents and cats, even the fish and I would be in very bad shape if something happens to them and I would do everything for them but would I be like this with my husband. I don't know....&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; I just remember how I felt when he was taken in to hospital and I wasn't that nervous and oly wanted to go home and finally take my dear cat with me (my cat's are not living with us because my hubby don't want to have animals and I am a real animal lover, I would have a zoo if I could) but it might be because I have self worked as a nurce so I know what happens at hospitals and that he was in good hands there so.... I do care of him a lot I know that and he's my best friend too because otherwise he never could hurt me like he's doing but love, I don't know..... How do you know if you love someone ?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Now when I open the door I have to complate little bit more so plase if you start to get bored with this text you can leave but I think like I feel to get everything out now so maybe after that everything will get better in our marriage and I'll understand my husband little better..... hey guys who are out there please explain for me this porn thing or if there some woman who have also expariense this, please tell me how did you cope with it ?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay here the complation continues again... sorry....&lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/14sad.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; I know it's not fun to read only complations.... We have always done things in his way and his hobby and feelings are more important than mine. I know I did a bad thing in the bening of our relationship when I let him steer me like he wanted to but I am like that. I am very kind person who hates to dispute and it's so much easier to go along and do everything like he wants because then he's so much happier and nice. When I sometimes try to say NO or do as I like things he's very bad in mough and says nasty things of everything. After that I feel like it was my fault again, wierd &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="23" height="15"&gt;. I never thought I will feel like this because I am a only child who is use to get everything and all the love from my parents and now I am like a door thresholds who you can walk over if you want &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I try to do thinks my way now I promise that and I also try to keep my heads up and argue with him to get things in my ways too (maybe that's why he again started to dream of his old girlfriend... or maybe he have done it the whole time but I didn't know about it before) . Like when I went back to school I argue with him about it for one whole year and then I only went and sign for few courses and now I have been there for 2,5 years and he's okay with it only complates that it goes so much more money on my school and less on his Rally (where I put a lot of money from my salary....). It's always like that I have to argue with him of everything what I like and he always says NO (he want to keep me in very short strap and control everything, I don't know why because if he still dreams about this old girlfiend and want to have her back, he could self go and be with her without caring what I think so do he think I might do the same or what is this for something, I don't actually know....). Like when I asked if I can have a own website like he have, he said very strong no so I started to write a blog insted and won't say to him anything &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; then our harmonius marrieage is blooming again. It will do it everytime when my dear hubby is happy and getting things like he wants. I am not that important in his eyes. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay now I stop campaltin and only ask, what would you do in this situation ? i won't leave him that is for sure but what else can I do ?
&lt;/p&gt;

When I sometimes try to say NO or do as I like things he&#39;s very bad in mough and says nasty things of everything. After that I feel like it was my fault again, wierd <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="23" height="15">. I never thought I will feel like this because I am a only child who is use to get everything and all the love from my parents and now I am like a door thresholds who you can walk over if you want <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15">. </p>
	<p>I try to do thinks my way now I promise that and I also try to keep my heads up and argue with him to get things in my ways too (maybe that&#39;s why he again started to dream of his old girlfriend... or maybe he have done it the whole time but I didn&#39;t know about it before) . Like when I went back to school I argue with him about it for one whole year and then I only went and sign for few courses and now I have been there for 2,5 years and he&#39;s okay with it only complates that it goes so much more money on my school and less on his Rally (where I put a lot of money from my salary....). It&#39;s always like that I have to argue with him of everything what I like and he always says NO (he want to keep me in very short strap and control everything, I don&#39;t know why because if he still dreams about this old girlfiend and want to have her back, he could self go and be with her without caring what I think so do he think I might do the same or what is this for something, I don&#39;t actually know....). Like when I asked if I can have a own website like he have, he said very strong no so I started to write a blog insted and won&#39;t say to him anything <img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"> then our harmonius marrieage is blooming again. It will do it everytime when my dear hubby is happy and getting things like he wants. I am not that important in his eyes. </p>
	<p>Okay now I stop campaltin and only ask, what would you do in this situation ? i won&#39;t leave him that is for sure but what else can I do ?

Her cousin phone call her and asked if we want to have some furnitures from the old house where my mother was born. It have been our family home for a very long time and for the last 30 years it have been everyones summer cottage because the house start to be very old and in bad shape. The reason why mothers cousin Anna called was that my ungle Rainer want to sell the house because he doesn't have any use of it and nobody of the family want to take care of old house and it's not like it was 30 years ago when everyone came from Sweden to spend the hole summer vacation here at the house so now he have had given it to a Real Estate company to sell it. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I was just remembering a happy memory from my childhood. It was the time when my relatives still came to this house to spend they vacation and I was something like 8 years old. It was my ungle with this family who came more ofthen and of couse me and my cousin Teresia was the best friends that time because we both was in the same older. We was playing and doing everything what kids usually do. Her younger borther Patrik was few year younger than us but he usually tryd to be with us as much he could although we tried to get rid of him because we though he was so young &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. Well we was exploring the area near the house and we knew that there was a empty house close and we wanted to go there and play so we took my dog with us and went there. We sat on the grass in the garden and talk about everything and suddenly we heard a noise like someone had walked on the gravel with clogs and we turn around to see whos coming but there was nobody &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/092eek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; and we was like what &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/icon_crazy.gif" border="0" alt="" width="23" height="15"&gt; and then we started to ask eath other if she/he had heard it and we all Teresia, Patrik and me was like yes we did. Even my dog had turn around.... Okay then we thought it was something else so we continued to talk and playing with my dog Jaana. Well suddenly again we heard the same noise and now even my dog rise up and stated to bark but there was still nobody &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/grayno.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. Now we got so scared that we all four ran from the house and got back to our summer gottage. We still don't know who it was or if it actually was a ghost like we belive that time because my mothers cousin Anna told after our experience that in that very house there had someone just died recently so who knows it might have been the ghost after all.... this will alwasy be a mystery for me &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Okay I have an other story to tell where my beautiful dog Jaana was with us. Me and my mother was taking our usually walk on evening with the dog. I was something like 10 years old. We was walking at the suburb where my parents are still living. We was on our way to the place where they keep quite many horses and we suddenly saw a big animal in the brushes and we thought it was a horse what have run away from the riding barn so we was thinking that we could go past it after all but then the animal lift his head and we saw huge horns on his head &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/graybigeek.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; and we knew it was a big elk what had come and eat the leafs from the bursh &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/grayyes.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. We all three run away from that place and afterwards we was like WOW and was lauging loud &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/060lol.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. Yeah we do have elks in the area although we live in a city and sometimes when I drive on mornings to centre of Vaasa I might see few elks on alongside the highway. They stand there looking at car what drives by and crunching the grass. They are so cute &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

How weird, I am not a normal person... &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. Okay I will go out after that I have wrote few words, like you know, I have a ddiction of writening of me, me and me &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/08wink.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;We have otherwise very relaxing day here, I don't neet to do anything special, only read a book, watch tv and eat, wonderful &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/smiley-smile2.gif" border="0" alt="" width="18" height="18"&gt;. Pity, that I haven't any wine bottle what I could open.... &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/07cool.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. We never visited Alko on our grocery trip now on morning. Here in Finland you can't buy wine from usually stores. You need to go to a special store to get it and they are here named ALKO. Supermarkets can only sell alkohol what have only few prosents like up to 5 or something like that but  immediately when it goes higer you need to go to Alko to get it. People have tried to get wine in a typical grocery but the health ministry is agains it so I don't think they will get it in my life time. Sadly &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/12neutral.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; it would be so much easier to buy it from there and I don't think it would but finnish people more alkoholic because they who are that already buys it from Alko everyday. Normal people would buy it only for special happanings and when they want to relax and take a drink.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I also visited my parents this morning and they both was feeling ok. My father told me that he had been to our little forest this week and observed that we have quite a lot of blue berries there so he said to me that I have to go and pick them up so that I will have something to strew on my oat porridge on winter time when we finnish peole need all the good vitamins from the berries &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/05biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; . He also said that I have some old finnish flowers growing on my yard... yeah I know I haven't been outside lately, I didn't know about this &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/11redface.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I shall go out and take a pictures of them when they are in bloom &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I don't know how I have get them on our yeard because I haven't plant them, maybe a bird. We also have a sunflower growing near the place where I was feeding the birds on winter time so it was a nice suprise &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I hope the bird what have drop the sunflower seed got a new one.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I notice when we was at the store today that a new Harry Potter book have come out now. I almost bought it but then I was thinking that all the other books what I have is in finnish so I might want to read this last on in the same language after all so now I need to wait thill March before they tranlate it, pity &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/smiley-cry2.gif" border="0" alt="" width="18" height="18"&gt;. I am a huge Harry Potter fan and I hope J.K. Rowling will write more books of him and the group. I have heard a rumor that she might so hold you finger crossed that she will &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/05biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. I love these book they are soo good, I even like the movies too but the books are better after all, like always.... so that's why I always want to read the book before I see the movie, like with the The Da Vinci Code, Hannibal, X-men and so many others..... I already did do it when I was a child I first read all the Astrid Lingrens books before I saw the series and movies. This author is actually mu most favourite one and I think she is the best ever been writer &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/06razz.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt;. She is for sure my idol &lt;img class="smiley" src="http://www.blog.co.uk/srv/tinymce/jss/plugins/blogdeemotions/smilies/grayyes.gif" border="0" alt="" width="15" height="15"&gt; .&lt;/p&gt;
