Why I won't be here much ...

[julchen11]

In October my roomie  Wolfgang lost his job and I had to take a second job all because of MONEY! *hmpf*
Since January I have a paper round, that means I have to go up at 3 in the morning. This isn't as bad as it seems but time is very very rare to be here or walking around in LJ land and I miss it awfully.
 

To be on the road this early is wonderful (even now with tons of snow and feeling like the Yeti), taking a walk for about 2 hours (on Saturday I was on the way for about 3 hours - because of a massive snow storm)  - coming home at 5 a.m or 6 a.m. and then I have to get myself ready for real work (from 7 to 5).

Wolfgang has the same job and slowly we don't need lists to get people the newspaper in time (they have to be delivered until 6 in the morning) :-))

 

But hey, I'm feeling well and healthy. You don't need a diet when you're doing this kind of job. And you don't need sports when you're walking that much, shoveling snow afterward and going to work later :-)
 

Catching up with my friends is hopeless because at the weekend housework and laundry (I can't tell you how much I DON'T LIKE THIS KIND OF WORK) are waiting. And yet, there's some time for just myself - for dreaming, thinking, listening to a little music (sleeping would be wasted time. As you may know I'm a night owl and I don't need much sleep - never did!)

So I want to apologize for not being around much, for not commenting and missing lots of birthdays. What I miss the most? Talking to you. Leaving few words to your posts. But things will get better in spring! Then I can take my bike and I'll be much faster than I'm now.

Take care, my friends. Be good, be happy and be sure I'm thinking of you.

Love and biiiiiiggest hugs,
Julchen

Goodness you are busy! I need to get a paper route if it helps you lose weight, though I'm not enthusiastic about snow.

We understand and will be right here when you get free time again.

Hugs,
Rach

It's so good to hear from you. I was wondering why you hadn't been around. I'm so sorry about Wolfgang's job, but I'm glad to hear you are doing okay.

I hope something comes up so that you can return to us soon. You are missed.

*hugs*

Love that picture!

[shirebound]

And I miss you awfully, dear Julchen. I hope that you can continue to find some peaceful time for yourself.

*offers a very spring-like icon*

*and many hugs*

Oh Julchen, I'm missing you! Your writing and your comments and just being here. But:

most important is, that you are okay! Please, don't overdo it. You needs a bit time for yourself. And I hope, you can come back here soon. You are such a great part of our fandom(s).

Hugs you tight.

I miss seeing you around! And your lovely poems of course, too. :)

I hope you are well and you'll join us again!

Oh sweetheart, i'm sorry that you have to work so hard. An early start, all that walking and then a full 10 hour day! Thank goodness you're fit enough to cope with it all. I do hope that you save time for 'you'.. Come back soon sweetie. We miss you *hugs*

Sorry to hear your friend lost his job, dear but I'm glad you are feeling good and healthy :)

Sorry to hear about Wolfgang's Job and that you have to work double shift. I hope W. can find a good job soon and that you have a less stressful day.

*hugs* you are missed

Good to hear from you, dear.

Can I cheer you up with offering a drawing of your choice?

With a pic, if you have one at hand, else just the name, and I see, what I can doo.

I hope you´ll have more time for LJ again soon. *hugs*

[carolina30363.livejournal.com]

Sorry about your friend sweetie, but I'm glad you are good!
Hugs you tight

Wow! That's quite a schedule. Sorry you can't be around more right now, but it will be good in the spring when you have a bit more time.

*hugs*

[bagma.livejournal.com]

What a schedule! I won't never complain again for having to get out of bed at 6:00am! Take care of yourself, my dear. We all miss you, but I'm sure everybody understands that sometimes RL must take precedence over the virtual one.

*hugs tight*

[romeny.livejournal.com]

*Hugs* will miss your writings but RL comes first; we'll be here when you return. Try to find some relaxing time for yourself.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Goodness, you have a very busy schedule! Take care of yourself. I miss you and look forward to the time when you'll be able to be here with us more.

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

oh goodness! That's a lot of work! :( **hugs you** I will miss you, but know that I am thinking about you, too!!! <3

[withywindle01.livejournal.com]

I've missed seeing you around, but glad to know it's not because you're ill or something. Good luck and much love! I'll be looking forward to 'seeing' you again in the spring. *big hugs*

[aliensouldream.livejournal.com]

You know I'm always thinking of you love. I can't imagine the fortitude it must take to cope with those hours. You're a true and giving friend and I hope good fortune smiles before long.

*many huggings*

[melanieathene.livejournal.com]

My goodness, you're a busy bee.

I'll miss seeing you on LJ. Take care and let's hope for an early spring. *hugs*

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

And I'll be thinking of you too. We did the paper route thing here too when my son was at home and it does put you out walking at all hours but the exercise is a plus at least. Be careful and drop by when you can. : )

[slipperieslope.livejournal.com]

I was getting worried. I am so sorry your Wolfie lost his job. This economy is horrid. All that walking is healthy but the thought makes me tired for you! I hate you don't have the time to write and dream quietly... as you love to do. You are a wonderful person to sound so cheerful and positive here, sweetie. I would be bitter having to work two jobs! You are an angel-person. With kitties.

((hugs))

I'm so glad you are enjoying the newspaper delivery job, Julchen, since you have to do it. You are making the most of what you've got to do, turning a necessity into an opportunity. I bet you'll see some beautiful pre-dawns and sunrises, if you are still doing this later in the spring. I've considered delivering papers, but it's so disgustingly cold here in the winter, and the walking so treacherous, I have always chickened out.

I'm sorry you have so little time for your pleasures like L.J., though. I hope you are still finding time to write. Not to write really would dampen your spirit.

See you later, then, Julchen, and good fortune!

[sayhello.livejournal.com]

I hope Wolfgang gets a job soon, so you'll be free to return!

Enjoy the exercise!

*hugs*

Dearest Julchen....how very like you to soldier on, never a word of complaint, painting the entire scene, in fact, as if it were all a lark. ((((((((((((((((((((((Julchen))))))))))))

Even though I'm not on LJ much myself, I know how much you must be missed. May easier times be just around the corner for you and Wolfgang!

(and be looking for a little something from me to show up soon (I hope!)

much love to you, dear. jan

I am so glad to see this one simple post from you. I was thinking of you so much. Your life is full of energy and keeping up and having very quiet time after. Don't worry about us. Just knowing you are ok is enough. I am glad you are healthy and you certainly are active.
I also hate, absolutely hate laundry. I have 4 loads of dried and ready to fold cloths piled high and I don't have the energy after I come home at 6 pm then do dinner, take shower and kinda crash.
You are ok and that is all that matters. Give us a snippet that you are still doing well. Hugs you to peices sweetheart. Much love xooxox v
