Distraction is an obstruction for the construction

I hope you enjoy your holiday friday82, eventhough things seem rough at the moment. Here are some videos for you:







Sleepy Hollow animation film

I'm on a short holiday like trip to the mister to help him learn computeranimation stuff (boring, it's basically all maths) and feel a bit more positive about everthing (yess, being a master of the art myself). Now he's at work, so I can post a bit, knit and do other stuff till the morning hours. And be angry about amazon, my old shoes broke (I have to walk in the mister's one which isn't bad, as I like men's shoes, but I have to get home somehow and for this journey those aren't an option) therefore we spend some time on amazon earlier to order a new pair for me and 2 for him (I HATE SHOESHOPPING!!! I know I have big feet, but I can't change it for heaven's sake), I spend some more money to make it an express delivery till tomorrow morning and now I got an email saying they just send one of the pairs! And not mine (yes I checked, I did not make any errors during the order)! Thank you! I'm very interested to see, if the others are just shipped later this night and will arrive in time anyway, but I don't believe that to be honest. So, back on the topic, I simply start the evening with a meme, kindly provided by friday82 (*hugs*).

HOW GOOD IS THAT??????
And Dirk is MVP.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!! The best TEAM won!!!!!! TEAMPLAYTEAMPLAY!!!!

YAYYYY!!!!!

My/our dog is dead. They had to put him down. I did not even get a chance to say goodbye.

short release of things on my mind, before I have to sit for another approximately 2 hours to prepare tomorrows lessons:

• teaching math is no fun. just in case you wondered or were considering this but somehow found something better to do with your time. I would not want to be a teacher, but each to their own and I am glad there are people willing to do this stuff. on the other hand they can concentrate on doing this and only this and do not have to worry about deadlines, project and project partners, patents and other things on the side. I am glad once the week is over. (just 3 more days yay)
  
• new laptop is ordered, I hope it arrives here and not like certain other packages I was waiting for that were given to someone else who apperently was not me. could not wait any longer, because my harddrive -newly integrated one- seems to be (no I actually know it is) broken, too.
  
• this weekend I visited the loved one to help him move to the city of his ex, where they will live together again, soon. i know, every person in their right mind would not do this but friends help friends and I want him in my life). actually everything was quite nice, but on the last day it really felt like destroying my only home and the feeling of being lost got unbearable strong again. him acting like we were bf and gf did not help either, because I know in 2 weeks from now he will be back in her arms for good. oh, and that there is no love for me. i know i am foolish...but I still love him. it does not go away, and working every waking hour does not help either, because believe me, I did that. I am feeling very empty right now.
• not funny how long packages sit in corners of my rooms...opening times at the post office are hilarious. maybe I will be in time tomorrow.
  

ok...that was mainly it. tired, but off to work I go again. hate maths...did I already say that?
i hope you have a marvelous week.
