Yahoooooo! I just got back from the airport where I signed my 8th short term contract!
6 more months.
After acting icy with the chief of personnel, I went to the office where WE ramp agents are in between flights. I found some collegues and some guys of the team of load and unload of baggages who greeted me happily. :-)
I also changed some shifts so to have more chaces to work at the pool.
I came back and called the vet to know how Monocolo's 'poo-exams' were and... he has parassites but nothing serious... so we're gonna give him drugs and we're going to fix it soon.:-)
Last but not least...the cherry tree is blooming... and it is such a magical thing to me.
I may have some Samurai anchestor.
I have a big smile on my face... and the sun enlights it!

Garden relax and good food!
It's so good to know that Spring is arriving! I love the desire to spend more time outside. The body simply need it, the contact with fresh air, with sun and colours.Yesterday morning we woke up a little late and I cooked pancakes, strawberry with lemon (first of the season... made a wish!) and croissants.
I love big breakfasts but for our habits it was more a brunch than a breakfast.
We relaxed in the garden and talked about how to fix this and that in the house and of other projects. Then we read and enjoyed our flowers and their smell and the birds singing.
I worked on the computer then read again and around 6pm we started getting hungry.
I decided I wanted to try new veggie things. It turned out a great dinner with felafel with tomato sauce (I did not fried 'em), and 'basket' of mushrooms with yoghurt.
Since the dinner was almost cholesterol free I thought a good mascarpone dessert could compensate the loss... I was totally full but feeling so good. I really love cooking!
Today we went at Giorgio's (Andrea's brother) to celebrate his b-day. I thought it was a 'family lunch' but it turned out a spring-party with lots of so-called-friends to enjoy the beautiful home and 'park'..but above all... the tons of food. It was a buffet all-day-long-all-u-can-eat-lunch full of pizzette and tramezzini and sandwiches and sweets and salts....
I enjoyed a long conversation with Antonella [Paolo's (Andrea's brother) partner] on the swimming pool border facing the sun for over an hour. :-)
After this food-marathon we arrived at home and Arianna was coming back from Rome. So to fill an improbable empty space of our stomach she brought some 'roman pizza' and my beloved supplì (I don't know why they always put some sort of meat or prosciutto in the recipe...but there's no meat in the original recipe)... so I did not eat the supplì yet...but I think I must eat it before tomorrow. Eventually tomorrow it's Monday and it's a good day to start a diet... hopefully longer than a couple of days:-)

April fool?

This morning Mauro (ex collegue) and I attended our jobless-support-breakfast in the Sala Borsa, the public library.
We talked about our social frustrations and wishes for the future, and as always it is not a negative event but a very motivating and supporting meeting.
Last night my ex-collegue-friend-unionist Mirko called me with a broken voice to tell me the company finally made an agreement with the unions so that we'll be hired for another short term and part time contract and if the winter schedule is consolidated then... we're gonna get a permanent contract.
So when the personnel manager called me to ask if I wanted to come back, I said yes acting snobbish with the voice but eyes and face were simply happy!
Mauro took this picture of me on the phone with the personnel manager.
Sounds like on April 1st I'll be back to work... mmmmmmmm isn't it April Fool's Day?

Friends visiting... heart rejoicing!
So here I am again. It has been a busy week and today I'll simply relax:-)
My mom's surgery went great and after spending almost a week at her sister's home, yesterday she went back home. I took the train back to Bologna on Thursday so to be here around 7.30pm and at 8 there was a 'unionist assembly' for the 'airport affair':-): Things get complicated but for the end of march I'll defenetly know if there will be chances to get back to my job or quit it forever!
On Friday morning I picked up at the station my friend Nadia who was attending a seminar on her research on alimentary disorders in Modena.
While working in the swimming pool she went shopping and at night we had dinner at home with Arianna and Guido too. Then Alessandro (Nadia's boyfriend and superfriend of mine) arrived from London (where they live) to join us for the week end.
I was very happy to see Alessandro. It was 3 years we didn't meet and it is so refreshing to me to spend some time with him. He and I have been like brother and sister in the years of university and then. We worked together in a fast food and in the summer of who remembers exactly when I was a bartender in his family's hotel in Lorica (Calabria). I know his whole family and I'm friend with his 2 sisters and a brother and love his parents.
So it has been so good for my spirit to share some time with him and his girlfriend!
We had a walk in the city center and on Saturday night we had dinner all together (Ary+Guido+Claudia+Gianfranco+ "the always in the middle" Michele) in a restaurant Andrea and I really don't like:-( I was very happy not to be involved in any serious argument or discussion since the table was very crowded and 'divided' in various topics.... so it was not very stressing.
Yesterday we left Alessandro e Nadia at the airport ( where I usually feel sad just because it is the airport)... and when we left I had a tear of melanchony falling down on my cheek. I wish I could spend more time with those I love to be with!... and yet they are all so far away!
Then once at home I saw there was mail. My lovely guardian angel Francesca sent me my 'fortune 3 dolphins ring' I gave her to repair.
The envelope was a big package with a lot of paper and things inside... but the core was my ring enveloped by a paper with a note on it: I LOVE YOU.

Elections, quarrels and other conflicts
And it's said that you can live your life as you want to!... but it is not possible. Except for personal choices of religion and beliefs, society and its gears are vital to our Being.
In these days we are in the middle of the political campain for the election and I notice this spreads the seeds of rage and of competition in the everyday life.
I can see a lot of people wanting to 'fight' for their party. Seeking for the chance of a fight...verbal or phisical.
The same is for me... As soon as I see Mr. B.'s face in the electoral's posters I sense the vomit and I get ragist when I speak with people (also friends and dad) about everything that involves the electoral programs.
This negative feeling is, of course, helped to stay so by my personal experience and frustrations. So, I shut the tv down (as my friend Kathy told me) and I found some help in that, but still...reading italian and international political and social issue on the web... brings me a mix of tears and rage and depression I shouldn't deal with.
Moreover 2 days ago was a perfect spring day, yesterday was snowing and today it's sunny again, but really windy and cold. And this changing seasons don't help my moods.
I was looking to spend a week in Rome leaving last friday to come back on thursday, but I couldn't find a substitute at the swimming pool for this afternoon and my mom's gonna undergo a surgery tomorrow, so I'll leave tonight by train and will be in Rome after midnight.
Even if I'm jobless... I can't do whatever I want:-)
I sense the week ahead it'll be a little busy... considering also that on Friday my friend Alessandro and his girlfriend are visiting from London for the week end, and will have to undergo all the social activities as... going out for dinner and interact with people (of the opposite political party!)

More flowers
Crocus ciliegio

.... More flowers bloom in my garden. This crocus just popped out a couple of days ago under the cherry tree.
Everything makes me think of springtime and brings me back to the feelings I usually have in this season but.... this year is different.It's like today: the sun shines but it's cold and the clouds have been white and fluffy on a blue sky until half an hour ago.. now a grey big cloud is darkening everything. So this is my mood... changing and changing and changing all over again and again. A multitude of colours pass through my days with no nuances...only pure colours.. but still I can't see the whole picture. Hope to see it soon.
