flea market plans this weekend. remember? here it comes..

i kinda had to make myself go to bed early on saturday because i was gonna pick up my sis at 4.15 in the morning. luckily i had been busy all day sorting things out, shopping, running errands and packing the car including stops at my sister's and betti's. so i watched some TV and managed to go to bed around ten (on a saturday!).
i probably fell asleep around eleven and slept - let's say okay - until 2 a.m. when i woke up from a nightmare.

- i woke up and saw a weird light through the gap of the door (i always leave it open a little bit for the cat). my heart pounding like crazy. i got up and went into the living room. the balcony door was open and a halloween-carved huge pumpkin standing there with a candle light up inside which was the weird light i had seen. and there was a strange guy on the balcony smoking a cigarette. he turned around slowly, looked at me and said "well, have you slept enough?" with this really freaky look on his face.. -

when i woke up my heart was pounding like crazy and i looked towards the door being sure there was someone standing there. i was too afraid to move an inch because i thought the person who was standing there better be thinking i was fast asleep.. after about five minutes and thinking that the cat probably wouldn't be sleeping besides my feet if there really was someone strange, i managed to turn on the light on the night stand and of course there was nobody. so i tried to go back to sleep. i tried for about ten minutes and then decided to get up and check the whole apartment to make sure there really wasn't anyone. done. but i just couldn't go back to sleep. my heart was still pounding and i was so nervous and jumpy.. i tried to call C and of course he wasn't there and i could only leave a message which he never returned btw.. anyway, so i listened to "harry potter V" on CD until i got up around 3:15 a.m. - what a night..

i picked up my sister's stuff and her and lukas had to walk because the car was so full. so i got to the flea market site (parking lot of a mall) and got a nice spot right away. and as soon as we had the table set up people started coming. they checked the stuff in the boxes even before we had a chance to get it out. crazy folks.. we had enough coffee and some breakfast but it was early people - *yawn*. my sister took luk back home around 6.30 i would say and let him watch some TV. she got him later on again because it was just too long for him to be there the whole time. it was okay and actually kinda fun. and after 9 a.m. it was really busy. we had fun neighbours (on the edge of being fun to being annoying i have to say though), treated ourselves with burger king for lunch - ;o) SC - and packed up around 1.30 p.m. after taking my sister's stuff back and unloading the car at my place it was probably around 2.30 and i was exhausted. but - ka-ching! - had made almost 100 euro!! JAY! and got rid of loads of crap i had stacked up in the basement. so it was worth it. and i took it easy in the afternoon, sleeping on the couch not doing much.

last night was crap again. old story. just can't sleep after no talk with C. so i was awake for almost three hours in the middle of the night. but i'm all right today since i had enough sleep yesterday afternoon and went to bed early last night. aaand now i'm all set for more stuff for the apartment. i'm gonna pick up a kitchen-bench (you know one of the ones that go around a corner forming an L and you can lift up the seats to put stuff in it) with a table and two chairs on wednesday and if things work out the way i want, i'm gonna move on the 26th! so who's gonna come for the housewarming-halloween-party on october 30th?
