My Daughter is Sick

Hello everyone,
Last Wednesday, my daughter´s teacher called me and told me that my daughter wasn´t feeling well. It was my day off so I picked her from school right away. She had an headache and fever. I went to the pharmacy, bought antipyretic and started medicating her. At night, I cooked chicken soup but she didn´t eat because she couldn´t swallow.
The next day, I took her to her babysitter´s house while I went to work. When I picked her up she wasn´t feeling better so I took her to the hospital. She was diagnosed amigdalitis and started taking antibiotic yesterday night. Today, I had to miss my morning shift to take care of her. She´s feeling better now but has to stay home until the fever drops.
Since I started working, last April, it´s the first time I miss my job. I feel a little guilty but I have no choice. Besides her dad, which currently is away, I don´t have anyone to look after my daughter when she´s sick. Her health is way more important to me than my job but I need to work too.
Once my vacations will start next Monday, I´m willing to work one shift to compensate today. Maybe my chief will agree.
See you soon.

Music Monday Nr. 51

Hello World :)
Hope you all had a good weekend. Mine, as usual, was divided between my job, my home, and my daughter. Now that the cold weather arrived, I prefer being cosy at home than going out but a quick visit to the supermarket or the mall is a "must".
For this week´s Music Monday, I picked a recent song that has been passing a lot on the radio. A good voice, catchy lyrics mixed with a dancing beat made this song reach the Top: Nneka singing "Heartbeat".
Happy Monday everyone!



Heartbeat Lyrics:

You said you'd be there for me
In times of trouble when I need you and I'm down
And likewise you need friendship
It's from my side pure love but I see lately things have been changing
You have goals to achieve
But the roads you take are broad are heartless
That wants you make another way
You throw stones
Can you see that I am human I am breathing
But you don't give a damn

Chorus:
Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing
Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing

Blood blood blood...blood is rushing

And now the world is asleep
How will you ever wake her up when she is deep in her dreams, wishing
And yet so many die
And still we think that it is all about us
It's all about you
You sold your soul to the evil and the lust
And the passion and the money and you
See the same ones die, people hunger for decades
Suffer under civilized armedrobbers, modern slaveholders

Chorus

Blood blood blood.... keeps rushing

Evaded, eliminated, erased, interrogated
Our tradition, our love for our fellow countrymen,
Our property, our resources - our pride

Can you feel my heart beating
No no no...you don't

Chorus

Nina: My Night Blogging Buddy


As some of you know, I´m a cat lover.
Last summer, I adopted a stray female cat which my daughter named by Nina. She was only a few months old when I brought her home. She adapted very well and now she´s the official resident of my kitchen´s balcony.
Nina became my daughter´s best friend and, at night, she´s my blogging buddy. Well, sometimes she falls asleep in a comfortable black office chair I have in my kitchen. Just like the picture above shows. I was doing one of my blogging nights while she was taking a nap.
Now that she´s turning into an adult cat, it´s time to think of her health. I have a friend who is a vet and, from my previous experiences with cats, I already know what I need to do. First, she needs to take vaccines and after I´ll look for cheap pet meds online. With my other cats, I had a good experience with Frontline Plus discount but I´ve read that Advantage flea is also an effective product for cat and dog parasites. Frontline controls fleas and ticks that infest your pet while Advantage is specifically used to kill fleas. Once Nina stays inside all the time I think I won´t have major parasites problems but if she gets infested at least I already know what to do.
Now, I can´t go away for long. I have another kid at home to take care :)

Music Monday Nr. 50

Hello!
This week, I´m not skipping Music Monday, no, no. Plus, it´s my 50th MM edition!
And because this weekend was my best friend´s birthday, I´m dedicating today´s MM to her. B has been a Bon Jovi huge fan for such a long time...
So, for this week´s MM, I picked Bon Jovi and the song "Make A Memory", a Live Tokyo 2008 HD video.
Happy Monday!



Make a Memory Lyrics:

Hello again, it’s you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life’s mysteries.
How’s your life, it’s been a while
God it’s good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave.

If you don’t know if you should stay
If you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be-
You wanna make a memory.

I dug up this old photograph
Look at all that hair we had
It’s bittersweet to hear you laugh
Your phone is ringing, I don’t wanna ask.

If you go now, I’ll understand
If you stay, hey, I got a plan
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You could sing a melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory.

If you don’t know if you should stay
And you don’t say what’s on your mind
Baby just, breathe there’s no where else tonight we should be-
You wanna make a memory
You wanna steal a piece of time
You could sing a melody to me
And I could write a couple lines
You wanna make a memory
You wanna make a memory

Happy Birthday B!

Tomorrow, 14th November, it´s my best friend´s birthday.
Happy Birthday B!
Although we currently live over 300 Km apart, I will never forget our friendship.
We first meet when I was only 6 years old... and we have been good friends ever since. I will never forget that we grew together, the good and bad things we´ve been trough. You´ll always have a special place in my heart. Hope you make many more!
Good health & Peace my friend!

Mizé Journey: My Domain Blog

Hello everyone.
I´ve been busy as a bee...so much that this week I skipped my usual Music Monday edition but I hope to be back next Monday.
Ok, about my post´s tittle. Some months ago, I bought a five letters domain with my nick name: Mizé. Right after breaking up with S., I didn´t know what to do with My Countryhome blog, my motivation to keep it wasn´t much but one thing I don´t like is quitting. Blogging about our plot and our joint finances didn´t make much sense anymore but once I enjoy blogging about personal finances, I decided to start over somewhere else. So, I bought another domain with the intention of blogging only about Personal Finances and started writing for it.
I started this new blog just for fun and because I enjoy Personal Finances topics very much. I think I´ll never be rich (unless I win the lottery or something like that) but being Financially Independent is a realistic goal. So, my new blog, called Mizé Journey, is about my journey from almost broke to Financially Independent (and intelligent).
Hope you can visit me there too.
See you soon :)
