Diary 9th December 2015

Well it was a nice and positive day, for once in me miserable life. hahaha. It all started when I got up for Social Welfare. Of course it started off with my Mom ringing my bell, to get me up outta bed. hahah. That said, I continued onto Social Welfare to go to Supplemental Welfare Office to hand in my form.

So I waited around as needed. Then my number was called. I then handed in my form. The Officer then proceeded to tell me that as I was NOT in a job, that I wouldn't not be entitled to it. However he quickly changed his tune when he inputted my PPS number into the Pulse system. He told me that I required specific documentation. He said that my Landlord has to fill out a form AND the Doctor aswell. So I rang the relevant parties ie Doctor Kelly for an appointment AND my landlord. My landlord said he'll ring me before the Weekend to come out to fill out the form.

I then headed onto first pay Franky for BOTH rents, weeks ie €260. So I did my business. Then as htere was too long a line, well more so there was a couple, who had little to know English, AND there was an elderly man at both machines. There was one staff member helping both of them. So I jstu stayed until my cell allowed me to transfer funds. As it did, I didn't bother waiting around. So when I went to transfer, the AIB site asked me to input a message to the Recipient of the Funds aka my Landlord, I simply put "Apolgiesi for the delay, blame the social welfare".

I then headed onto collecting my glasses. I was delighted with em. However the minute I put em on, I immediately got ditzy ie dizzy. heheheh. Even as I write this I get oncurring headaches.

I then headed with delight but still being cautious. I then headed on off to my next test. As I said to my sis, I'll go to Drumcondra An Post just to piss them off. Seeing as they's piss me off. Why not. Well as it happens, there was a different guy altogether albeit, I know him, alrite, but still. So I just went about my business. Well LOW and behold my cash was there, the €155 that am owed for TWO weeks. I was so happy. So I got stamps, cards AND my most important TV License stamps.

So then I headed to my sis, as she wanted me to collect a package for her. I then headed off to her place collected a slip of paper, I had parked my bike at Charlemont Rd., so that I could just simply head off quickly instead of the usual place of whereby I park it at the gate. However when I came out I got the land of my life when I thoguht my bike was stolen. Well the laugh I got outta of it. hahaha.

So  then off to Lomond Office to the sorting office. The guy was most rude. He went as far as to say is she my shagging friend. Something like that. I told him its none of his business. I told him, she's my sister. But he didn't believe it, so I just headed on off.

I then headed on up to my folks. To mainly to hand the bag back to em AND to see my new glasses. I had a nice meal. When I arrived, Dad was in Pauline's doing business. So we looked at the news then of which both were sleeping or dozing. It was a bit abnormal that Dad closed his eyes. heheeh.

Then I headed on home in torrential downpour of wind & rain. I was soaked to the skin. So I showered to avoid getting a cold.

Diary 1st December 2015

Well what a day today turned out to be. hahahaah.

It all started off with when Mom banged and rang the doorbell around 10ish to ensure I get up. I ignored of course. I wasn't gonna be bothered with Social Welfare. I had enough of a headache with em. Then I got up around eventually at 1ish instead of 12ish due to leg trouble. So while showering and getting rid of the beard, My doorbell rang yet again. Again it was Mom. I told her not to be bothered with it. I'll go in MY time, and get in touch with her.

I then got ready, headed to An Post, I was distraught to learn that there were no funds for me. I got so teary, that I didn't know what to do. So I rang Mom, let her know of the update, then afterwards,

I headed to Dr., to get my certificate. While there, I peeved off with the ticketing system. The ticket machine was at 36 when I got in, and the Gadget where you collect the ticket was at 34. So it didn't make it sense when my number was NOT called. So I went up and a woman and here kid came in from the cold outside, yet HER number was called, like what gives!!!!!. So I jst queued up behjind her, to ensure I GET called. So I asked for my certificate.

I then headed onto Social Welfare in Kings Inn St., I went to Desk 29 and ask for Member of A Team. I waited for a few minutes. I submitted my certificate and he looked at it. He asked if I had sent in my Bank Details. I had hoped to continue collecting the payments in the Post Office. However it wasn't to be. He mentioned this delayed the payment in question. So he then asked that I send my certificate from now on to Social Welfare in Store St., A member of staff asked how my back was considering the complaint, I kinda know him alrite. I told him he hasn't been the best lately. We then joked about him making out that he's 25. hahaah. Whether the was taking the mikky I ain't sure. When I went to sign the signature, firstly it brought up my NAME issue YET again!!! hence why I went back to my Romanian name ie Georgian Stanescu and secondly the guy commented how fancy the pen is. I told him its Nico's 60th Anniversary Takeaway in Ireland or whatever in Irl. He told me he knew Nico Boroso or whatever. hahaah. What  a small world. So he reassured me that all should be well now. I asked if I were to get my Rent Allowance. He explained when you change over to a new Benefit, that ALL payments are stopped and suspended. Then you will be reinstated, something like that.

I then headed onto Store St., Social Welfare. While I was not impressed with the people that were there, I handed my envelope to a guy, I ensured that he put it somewhere.

So I then headed up to my folks. ehehheh mainly to go and see how Dad is after his flu/cold. Had a nice meal with em,

I then headed back to my sis in my place. Where we had a meal etc., well my sis' takeaway at least, We had many a laughs. ahahaha. Here's one for ya. hahahah. Her face expression was priceless. hahaha. She was atop a table, I asked her to hold Champy +Inflatables Stanescu and she replys "Ok", as much to say she' wasn't unsure. I then pulled it with her falling in tow. It was priceless. hahaha. The laugh I got. ahahah. Her expression was that she thought she was falling on concrete or carpet in my case which could be dangerous. However she was falling on inflatables, cause that's who takes up my floor space. Awwwwwwww. Then we headed to her place stopping by Tescos to get Butter. Then moving onto hers. Again we had many a laugh there too. hahaaha. Now it was with great regret to inform yee all thou, that there was a scene at the begging of a movie K9-11 whereby a character reminded me of a vicious dream i had relating to ISIS in recently, that shook me completely. It was completely unexpected. So it was a good thing I had my Sleeves and rags etc.,with me. heehhe. So I had a good meal at em. Or as the saying "let em rip", or "let em at it". So then it was also with great sadness that my sis had a hip displacement, something like that. She's getting there. God speed, sis, God Speed sis. You're a fighter. I stayed with her longer to ensure her safety and taht she was able to get around. I told my sis during the night, that I'm PURPOSELY gonna get "fat", not obese or anything but to go in January when I go after Christmas to work my calories off etc., in Westwood. aahah.
REmembering a night my sis and I and also my Aunt(MAudy) who was llookign after us while our folks were out. I remember that we were both looking at Causlty or as used to say "Casuty". We were looking at a partiducalr episode. Where a character died or something. I inisntalnyl fell in love with him, ie GAY. hehehehe. Then also playoing a game called Duke Nukem BUT more so DOOM, and then ALSO playing a CD Music disc called Robson & JErome's Unchained Melody etc., etc.,.
Trhought out the night, as I said abotuve when I saw a particualr scene I reacted qutie badly, I told her of my quitting COffee cold turkey FORCEFULLY(As I had none left), she put it down to withdrawels and teh ISIS in the dream, being playng negativilty.

Diary 29th November 2015

Well today was quite an unusual day. By that the weather played its part. Then the fact that I did banking on a Sunday, which I don't normally. However it had to be done. hahahah. By that I mean that as I need the cash BEFORE Westwood comes in on Tuesday, I wouldn't be able to pay Franky. So I moved swiftly. Initially I was gonna leave it til next Tuesday, however my cash wouldn't allow it ie DOUBLE payment for him. So I said I'd go and do it.

So my day started off with me getting up around Midday, and then heading off after a few tv shows. So then I headed on off to AIB Bank, however I needed change from Kennedy's. Brian asked me if all I was doing was getting change everyday. I then said to him NO, that that's not true. hahaha. to go and get a definition. ahahah. Brian although loved my beard. haahahah. The other Brian(Paula's dad - whom Paula herself was an employee) likes it but sarcastically ie he says when you start growing it, I said the beginning of the month, and he says you mean in the 4years, hahaaha. So then I moved onto the last minute decision, to the Sunday Market in SmallChanges building. heeheh. I found a few gift ideas. heheeheh. When I came out of the Sunday Market, it poured out of the heavens via Winds. oh boiiiii.

Then my sis came to my place for the downloading. We were chatting, and supporting each other. heehheh. Then we went for a bit of shopping. In the meantime, I had gotten a takeout too. I headed to her place then for the night. We had great laughs too.

Not bad a day, hahaha.

I was awoken by my sis, which was a good thing, as had she not. I would have NOT been on time for the dole. So I quickly set about getting ready.

I got the dole, then handed over to AIB to do my business there. hahah. I then headed to SMall Changes to get my weekly supply of Vegan food. Today I didn't buy too much, as I didn't have enough for the week. As I intend going to a meetup tomorrow night, then to Sweatbox event on Friday Night. Haircut on Thurs and then Cineworld to see a film with the Cineworld Craicheads. While at SmallChanges, I was about to buy a Vegetarian popcorn, which I was surprised, but Peadar stop me in my tracks and I replaced. heeheheh

So with this in mind, I headed on back and my sis and I were looking at tv while she was downloading. Mom dropped down food to us. Twas pleasant. heheeh. I then dropped my sis back to her place. Further chats were had. I was chatting with her relating to Sky Broadband and comparing prices.

But when I got to looking it up on ALL tumblr accounts, and I can't find it. It stated that the user reblogged it. I looked for the email, etc., no where to find.

I rang Mom to reply to her missed call or Returning her call. We chatted then when she said Good Bye, we got a great laugh. hahaahah. So in future she'll say Cheers. hahahah

I then headed onto my sis. I brought my own food and we had a feast whilst looking at Golden Girls n Everybody Loves Raymond. hehehe.

Diary 6th October 2015

I got up showered and all. I then headed out after Will & Grace to go and do my norm errands. hahaahah.

My first was to get my dosh. Then into AIB to lodge it. Then onwards to the next errand which instead of bringing the bike, I decided to walk to SmallChanges. Got my weekly groceries, I then realsied that I left my tea behind. hahaah. I needed it badly. I then realsied that I mightened have enough for the laundry. So I counted out my cash of about 14.50.  So I was cool. I had minimum €15. Then afterwards I walked back to the Clean Freaks where my laundry is. There is a new person there. She made out my bill was 32. Of which I was shocked. hahaah. She knew she made a mistake. She read the wrong number. That said, I went with my laundry back to my gaf. hahaha.

I then headed to my sis for our bi weekly visit. As always pleasantries with comedy etc., with Golden Girls, which got me thinking did Blanche's Paps cheat on the mother etc., etc., Will & Grace and King of Queens too. I was there the whole time matching my personality with the characters. hahaha. I'd be Will in Will & Grace, Dorothy in Golden Girls.

Diary 29th September 2015

Twas an interesting day, so far. hahaha.

I was due to go to the Intreo Career's fair iN Dublin Castle. However after a lovely night of sleep, I was unable to get out of bed, perhaps Blankies love me too much, hahahaah.

So I headed back to sleep, however of which I regret doing so. By that I mean, that I had a dream, in which it brought in my Orphanage days and my love for my ex boyfriend into ONE dream.

DREAM

I'm in a kitchen, whereby a group of us, ie group lads are in the kitchen cooking stuff up, THere is an middle age woman there, which is the splitting voice of the Romanian nurse. she apparently homophobic has done something behind my back and talked. Cause I am there crying and more so pouring my heart out to her in saying that I love this lad. etc., This on going for a few minutes.

END OF DREAM

Then afterwards, I met up with my sis for a few minutes. She and I were consoling a friend who was going to a psychiatric appt, I went in with him. And the things that the Psych doctor. Some was interesting, some not. The Dr., had said to go for group therapy. I know my friend don't like that, etc., However one thing stood out in what the Dr. had said. In that she said "crazy" to my friend. I was deeply offended with this. I was making a point in that my friend is actually "normal". and she says to me "What is normal", I couldn't answer. I was simply trying to tell her that EVERYONE's normal in their own unique way.

Then when I came back after my sis, My TV stand broke, so with the loss of TV possibly, I decided to head to my folks. First being my Dole, then the AIB, and of course my weekly Small Changes visit. heehhe(PEADAR). Then afterwards, while trawling my TV up with me, I headed to my folks. However Dad wasn't there as I was told that he was down in Meath. So I tried looking for screws for the TV, to no avail. So then Mom and I headed on home and suggested to me to go and get a takeout with DiLucia's.

Diary 27th September 2015

Whoa mama. What a day it was. Between Animal Rights, the Vegetarian Day, then a Rally exhibition. It was overwhelming. I was there thinking when I came home from the Movie yesterday and suddenly realised that today Sunday is World Vegetarian Day and the Protest march. I had completely forgotten about it.

So when I got back to reality, haahaha, I then headed to bed. I was suppose to get up for 12.35. However Georgie here don't like 4hrs sleep. Which can't be good. There was a time I used to last on 3hrs let alone 4, however NO. Anyways I got up at 1.10. So my plan originally was Dublin Port Rally, ARAN, and then Vegetarian Day. However it wasn't to be. So my next plan of action was ARAN, Vegetarian Day and then Dublin Port Rally. So onwards and upwards as one would say. hahahaha.

So my first event was ARAN(Animal Rights Action Network). So when the event started, they were to have speeches for an hour and then for the last hour it would be the actual march. So clever little Stany here decided instead of speeches, that I would go to World Vegetarian Day and then come back for the March.

So for the World Vegetarian Day, Sarah A whom I know very well, decides to comment saying that I'm late. I said no I ain't hahaah. "ara sure you're always late". ahahahaha. So I then showed the poster as to where I was. Besides World Vegetarian Day is between 12-4. haahah. So I was chatting with Vegan Ireland and a few other exhibitors. I was wanting to purchase a Vegan TShirt for October Vegan Day, however with the price it wasn't to be. heeheh.

So I headed back to the March for ARAN. The tagline was "No excuse for ANimal Abuse". Following is the route we took

Parnell Sq - O'Connell St - O'Connell Bridge - D'Olier St - College Green - Westmoreland St - O'Connell Bridge - O'Connell St - Parnell Sq

I then dispersed after a successful INAUGURAL March for ANimals. I then headed onto my last Event of teh day: Dublin Port Rally. It was fantastic. However I found the price to be excessively high. But well worth it alrite. heehehe. Seeing the Imp brought great memories flooding back. I repeated to myself: "I feel old" hahaha. Plenty of elderly people around. One in particular with a Zimmer. I bet he could tell a few tales alrite. When Is aw the Imp, "Go Minic Anseo...." I remember I was on the Imp with Dad going to James Hosp for TEETH OR EYES, can't recall. I then repeated to myself also that the imps are no good now as the Population of Dublin has increased and financially viable it wasn't possible. I then saw the 51B ahh LORD, now I'm REALLY old. hahaha. It used to come down Grace Park Rd near my folks and take us into town. There was one RAINY night, I'll never forget. Mom, Maureen and my sis were in Abbey St., We were waiting in RAINY weather at night time at Wynnes Hotel. Its also possibly the same night, that I got my varuca. It was the Dublin Port Rally's CIE's 70th Anniversary. I first heard of this on RTE6.1 on Fridays.

So then I came back for a few minutes, and then headed onto my sis. We had a grand old time watching Golden Girls, Everybody Loves Raymond n Cheers. We chatted but more so the TV. I told of many fond memories after showing the pics of the BUses etc., at the Dublin Port Rally, I was at earlier on.

Not bad a day huh. More so not that busy. hahaahah. I got up with a view of seeing my sis as per our usual schedule. heheheh. I then transferred a few Golden Girls episodes for my sis to watch together.

I then headed to see her. We had a few cups of tea of which mine consists of Tea, Black Tea, Coffee and then Green Tea and whilest having the teas the chats and plenny of Golden Girls. hahaah. Was most enjoyable.

I brought along my old cell phone aka Sammy. I had charged it overnight. I have decided that I use it for GPS reasons, ie when I want to use it for Fitness Apps etc., or for finding my way around the city. As my current Sammy 2, doesn't seam to last battery wise. So I was looking at it, bringing plenny of memories of it. hahaah. I will be Rooting it for the first time. Before that thou, I wanna record the apps that I have on it thou. heheeh

I then was uploading my babes: Inflatables to the following Social Media Accounts. hahaha.
As part of my email ritual, one of them was an article on MakeTechEasier. There was a poll which asked: Should Microsoft kill Windows XP and Be Put out of its Misery. Surprisingly 70% wanted it kept. hahhha. It goes to show you, OLDies like myself love old OSs. I remember the days of Windows 95, more so my fave was Windows 98. Then along came Windows XP. I didn't really like WIndows Vista. Windows 7 was lovely. Then Windows 8, which appeared on my Dell Lappy, until Dell ripped me off last year, when they refused to help me out on Support. Following are the results of the poll

When I arrive Maura was there. Gerry and Darragh were getting supplies. haahha. Was great seeing Maura. The last time I seen both Maura and Gerry was at my Dad's 80th party back in May. Then when Darragh and Gerry got back, we got down to business. hahaahah. I was to clear out the shed into the skip. Then Darragh was doing the back of the shed. I was helping him empty the wheelbarrow. Then tidying up alot of debris etc., I then headed back home after having a bite to eat. hehehe. While we were chatting I recalling all the memories from teh trio. Bongo, being Kevin Drum who was in my class if I recall rightly in Scoil Mhuire. Then there was Gerry's memory  of Dad, Gerry and myself going to Croker. hahaha. and Mom then waiting for us to come back and give us tea or whatever. You would wonder why I need Relatives in my life. hahaah

So after watching a few hours of Frasier, I then headed to get my dosh or as I said to Darragh my "Check", of which he replied with "Wages", hahaah, I brought my clothes to Clean Freaks, then to An Post, then, afterwards I headed to AIB to lodge for Rent n bills, then to SmallChanges to do my Weekly shopping. The shop assistant gave me a couple euros off for the Cereal. Was really nice of him. heheeh. I then headed to Centra to see if they have Pure butter. But to no surprise no. So then I was surprised to see Alpro Plain with ALMOND and Plain with COCONUT. That's amazing. heheeheh. So then I headed back home.

I then on the way to my sis, wanted to get butter. So I went to Tescos, and instead came out with impulsive products. ahahah. Then I stopped at Spar to see would I get OIl for to cook pasta, and of course the butter. Still failing on the butter. heheheh. Then I headed to my sis, We chatted and looked at Golden Girls and Will & Grace. Twas lovely. haahah
