Blog: Nurse Meik

Nee, ik heb geen ander beroep gekozen en nee, ik heb niet besloten vrijwilligerswerk te gaan doen. En toch word ik tegenwoordig zuster Klivia genoemd. Gister is mijn vriend geopereerd aan zijn enkel. Op zich geen enorme ingreep, maar toch goed voor zes weken! hinkelen met krukken en weinig kunnen doen. Nou kan ik jullie vertellen dat mijn vriend een heel klein zielig mannetje wordt als hij ergens last van heeft en ik ben natuurlijk zijn Superwoman.

Gister bestond mijn dag uit ziekenhuisbedden, ziekenhuiskantine, magazines en gapen. Wat duurde het allemaal lang. Van 9 tot half 6 in dat verdomde ziekenhuis gezeten. En die vent maar slapen, god, wat ben je dan jaloers, ik zou zo graag spontaan flauw vallen om heerlijk in zo'n ziekenhuis bedje wakker te worden na een paar dromerige uurtjes. Maar helaas, ik krijg alle chagrijnige zusters (die trouwens nog blijer met mij waren na het laten vallen van een glas melk), regeldingen en dure parkeerkosten op mijn dak. Eenmaal thuis gister en na een dikke slechte pizza, vielen we samen heerlijk in een diepe slaap.

Dag 1 van het herstel begon om 10 uur. Gelukkig (voor hem) begon mijn voorjaarsvakantie vandaag en had ik niet teveel op de planning staan. Oma was jarig vandaag, daar had ik graag even een gebakje gehaald, maar met zo'n sneu mannetje werd zelfs dat hem niet vandaag. Alles wat we anders samen doen of opdelen, doe ik nu alleen. De dag begon dus met anderhalf uur schoonmaken.. Erg fijn! Zeker als je je dikke poezenkater Davy net heerlijk zijn ochtendplasje naast de bak ziet doen wanneer je beneden komt. Nog meer werk. Eindelijk klaar met schoonmaken wou hinkelend vriendje douchen. Verband mag natuurlijk niet nat worden, dus zustertje Meike is met een washand in de weer gegaan, om na het waterfestijn zelf nog te moeten douchen. Kemy moest natuurlijk ook nog even zijn energie kwijt naast fiets en de patient moest natuurlijk ook nog wat te eten hebben.

Na de brunch begon mijn nieuwe taak: taxichauffeur! Van supermarkt naar vishandel, van ouders naar vrienden, van vrienden naar huis. En ondertussen ook je eigen zaakjes nog moeten regelen he, het leven gaat tenslotte gewoon door. Kom je thuis, in je heerlijk achtergelaten schone huisje, blijken al mijn lieve poezenvrienden hier gewoon schijt aan te hebben en begint het festijn gewoon weer opnieuw. Pis al over the place. Kattenbak maar een beurt gegeven, bestaan er preutse katten? Zoja, ik heb er vier! En na een uur schoonmaken, opruimen, dweilen en nogmaals het nachtelijke blokje om met Kemy ben ik maar op bed gegaan. Het manneke heeft nieuwe verzorgers, die bier zuipen, darten kijken en roken:zijn vrienden. Morgenochtend mag ik weer.

No, I didn't choose a new profession and no, I haven't decided to be a volunteer. And yet, I am called nurse Klivia. Yesterday, my boyfriend had an ankle surgery. Not really a drastic one, but still good for six weeks!!! hopping on crutches and doing nothing at all. Well I can tell you that my boyfriend is a very small little man if he does have a problem and I am of course his Superwoman.

Yesterday my day included hospital beds, hospital canteen, magazines and yawning. The day was so long. From 9 to 6 o'clock I sat in the damn hospital. And that guy was sleeping like a baby, god, I was so jealous, I wanted to faint spontaneously and wake up in a hospital bed after a few dreamy hours. But unfortunately, I get all the cranky nurses (who were even  happier with meafter dropping a glass of milk), control things and expensive parking tickets. Once home yesterday and after a big (not healthy) pizza, together we fell in a deep sleep.

Day 1 of the recovery began at 10 o'clock. Fortunately (for him) started my spring break today and I didn't have too much on the schedule. Grandma's birthday was today, I had like to make a pastry, but with such a sad man even that couldn't be done today. Everything else we normally do together or divide, I had to do on my own now.

 The day began with an hour of cleaning. Very nice! Especially if you're fat cat just gloriously

puts his morning pee beside the bij while you coming from upstairs. Even more work. When I finally was finished cleaning, the boyfriend wants to shower. Because the bandage can't be wet, nurse Meike became in action with an fannel and after that I had to shower myself. After a little energetic walk with Kemy, me and my patient had someting to eat.

After brunch started my new job: taxi driver! From supermarket to fried fish shop,

from parents to friends, from friends back home. And meanwhile you still have to arrange your things, life's going on! Coming home, in your lovely cottage which you left clean, was a huge mess. My little cat friends coudn't care less about it and my kitchen was all over pee. The cleaning party started all over afain. I putted some new cat litter in the cat's box, maybe I have prudish cats? If it exists, if have four of them! And after another hour of cleaning, tidying, mopping and again another round against the block with Kemy, I finally could go to bed. The patient has new caretakers, who drink beer, watch darts and smoke: his friends. Tomorrow, it's my turn again, Supernurse Meik!

I love Micheal Kors

On my wishlist: A Michael Kors watch! As many of you I really want a beautiful classy MK watch. These are my favorites, especially the white one. I wear a lot of white and sand and that watch will be the perfect final touch to a lovely outfit. The bracelet watch I like a lot! How classy! Unfortunately, there is hanging a price on that lovely watch, a lot of saving to do! 

Which one do you like? Or do you prefer another example?

With love,

Kate Moss for Liu Jo

I am a longtime member of the Dutch Cosmopolitan. The past year, in almost every edition, there is an advertising page from Liu Jo in the magazine, with a beautiful Kate Moss as model. I'm always fascinated by these pictures, and since the new spring campaign is published now, I wanted to share this with my lovely followers! Kate is a beautiful model and woman, but I think this is one of her best campaigns. The clothes of this brand are just my style and I use it very often as inspiration.
Do you like the pictures too!?

Valentine's Day!

Today is the day of love! The day of suprising each other and to love your boy or girlfriend more then you've ever did! I actually don't believe in Valentine's Day. I think it's all commercial and all about making money. But, in a way, it is kind of a beautiful day. When I was little I was so exited! Should I recieve a postcard from a secret anonymous lover? I remember, when I was 10 years old, my boyfriend from then gave me a little present. And after school, some boy came to me with a plastic bag full of selfmade presents from another boy who had a crush on me. Things like that you never forget. 

My boyfriend is against Valentine's Day, so I have no romantic plans for today. (Of course you secretly hope for a big suprise, hint, hint! Hihi..) No, I'm kidding, we do a lot of things together and don't need a Valentine's Day for that. But too suprise my boyfriend, I bought a little sweet card and a box of his favorite chocolates. In the card I've written I loved him, not matter what. Hihi, I hope he likes this little gesture. 

What are your plans today? Do you love Valentine's Day or think it's rubbish?

Beautiful long hair braids

When I was little I had a ponytail and long hair, always in a braid. Now it doesn't grow fast enough or I really must go for a hair cut because the hair ends are dead. So for now I get my inspiration from pictures of beautiful long braids. I find this pictures really beautiful, though I wouldn't be able to make one of those myself. Does anyone have good tips or examples of beautiful braids?

Me, when I was young, with my long braid, hihi..

It's all about smoothies!

I discovered something in Bremen: The Smoothie! In a little shop break, we both took a healthy smoothie. At home, I tried to make one myself with frozen strawberry's, bananas and orange juice, sooo  sweet! A little bit cold, so for the summer it is the best thirst quencher! For now, for me, it's a healthy snack. I made it my new hobby, bought all sorts of frozen fruits and searching the internet for delicious recipes. I put together a list of wonderful recipes for you! Only thing you need is a blender!

MANGO SMOOTHIE

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup peeled, pitted and sliced fresh mango

honey to taste

1/2 cup ice

Place the juice, fruit and honey in a blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds. Add the ice and blend until smooth

STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE WITH A DASH OF LEMON

10 frozen strawberries

1 spoon of lemon juice

3/4 cup of water

Wash the strawberries and freeze them or buy frozen strawberries. Juice the lemon and mix all the ingredients in a blender.  Sip and smile.

KIWI-MINT SMOOTHIE

2 kiwis, peeled

1/4 small lim, peeled

1 frozen banana, peeled

5 to 10 mint leaves 

3/4 cup of water or almond milk

Add all the ingredients to your blender and blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

So I hope you have just as much smoothie fun as I have!

With love,

All knit from Primark

To celebrate the end of my week of exams I went to Bremen with my friend Leontien. It was my third time at Waterfront, a huge shopping mall where you can spent your whole day shopping. First we took a coffee and chocolate muffin at Starbucks and then right away to Primark, my favorite low budget store! I was looking for some knitwear. Well, I did big time! My basket was full of knit in all sorts of colours, so I had to choose. And these are the items I brought home with me. 

I am also very happy with the black peep-toe pumps I bought. I was looking for them for a while, now it's a little bit to cold to wear them, but as soon as the sun is going to shine, these beauty's will be shining on my feet! Do you like these items?

With love,
