Short working week

Today is Thursday and my second and last working day this week :) On Monday was at work, than we had two holidays and today am at work as well.
Tomorrow I took the day off, coz' I have to drive my grandpa to doctor. He has his appointment at 11am, but since it's probably going to take few hours before it's going to end, I find no sense going to work for an hour or two. Nowadays we don't have that much work, so I can afford to take the day off + I'll be able to do some things which I have in plan for a long time, but haven't found the time yet - I will be finally able to drive some clothes and shoes to the Red Cross. I "cleaned" my closet and the clothes which are still in good "condition", but are either to big or to small for me will give to Red Cross and I'm sure there are people who need it and will take it. I think it's much better to do it so than throw it away :) The opening hours at the Red cross are from 9am to 2pm and during the week I have no chance, neither my paretns, to take those things there...and tomorrow is perfect day.
I think I'm going to have productive day tomorrow :) and am looking forward to be out of the office.

How were my holidays?
Well, nice :)
On Tuesday 31st we celebrated Reformation Day. That day my paretns went to mountains and so I was home alone with my dog. In the morning I wrote letter and some mails. Went for a walk with my dog and got ready for lunch. I ate at Miha's place with his mum and his aunt. We than went to visit grave of my grandparetns and Miha's grandparetns.
After the visit we came back to Miha's place where I watched Discovery Channel and Miha was sleeping....
At 6pm we met with our friend Antal. He was nice and told me to fix something on my computer (it's not broken or anything, just need to rearrange some things), but than when we came there he had problems with his portable disc and we had to postpone our thing till next week or next weekend. But it was still very nice to see him again after long time (he got a job at Hermes).
The evening was time for one show of Friends - yes, yes, I'm being a little obssesed with watching Friends nowadays, but they're so cute and I have a good laugh :)

Than the 1st November, so yesterday, was another day off - the day when we remember people who died. I had quiet day...in the morning I cleaned all my apartment, so I won't need to do on Saturday when I usually clean my crib :) I also wrote a letter in the morning. After the lunch I rest a little and than at 4pm Miha came. We didn't go to grave yesterday, coz' it's usually very crowded on 1st Nov. - that's why we always go one day before and one day after...but we go every week anway!
We watched Friends again and than started to glue together puzzles. We did one and left it over night to dry. I will buy frame and than we'll put it on the wall :) We'll put it only between two glasses - I love that one the most :)
The evening was booked for Euro league in basketball. Our team played against Roma Lotomatica - it's Italian team and we won!!!! Our team has many, many problems, so no one really though they can win in condition like they are...but they did and the point difference at the end was 11 points :) They played really well and after some matched, it was finally nice to see the match.
Miha and I have free tickets for next Euro match which is going to be next Wednesday and they'll play against Greek champions Olympiacos....I think we have very small chances to win that game, but let's see...maybe they have another surprise for us :)

However, those two days were nice.
Today I have to get though the work (so far I had no work) and than will have 3 days off again :)
On Saturday Miha and I are planning to go for a trip to the North of the country to visit one castle and than on Sunday I'll have to start with studying - I finally got dates for my exam and first one to come is on 24th November, than on 8th December and the last this year on 21st December.
I'm not really in the mood for studying nowadays (such a lovely weather helps as well, coz' I prefer to go out instead of sitting in front of books), but I have to collect myself together and do this...

I hope you all are having lovely days. Wish you all the best and talk to you soon.
Hugs from Slovenia :)

Hah, your friend's name is Antal? Is he Hungarian, or he only has a Hungarian name? :)))) Knowing your family name it is even funnier:)

Well, my friend is Croatian :)(well, his paretns are...he was born in Slovenia) but if his grandparents or grand grandparents are from Hungary..I don't know...I didn't know Antal was Hungarian name.
And what is wrong with my last name :P *lol*
Yes, I admit our last name is funny, but the good thing is...there is only my family (so, I and my paretns) + my uncle and my two cousins who have the same last name in whole country :) Now, that's something too :)

When do you officially start work?
Are there traffic jams coz' of cold weather? Here it's a chaos when it's raining or snowing, otherwise no..but we have EVERY DAY traffic jams - rush hours :s
