Last week we suddenly noticed that 1 of the rats was starting to get something underneath the tail that made us wonder about it’s gender. My brother thought that he had bought 2 females but it turned out that 1 of them is a underdeveloped male.
It’s a good thing that he got them through a good breeder whom simply offered to exchange 1 of them.
Since the little male is our favorite we decided to keep him and exchange the female for a male. The new male is 5 weeks older and a lot bigger but also very sweet.
Raymond has called them David and Goliath. 
Last weeks session with the manuele therapeut was really painful and due to it’s afterpain I wasn’t able to walk straight for 3 days but I haven’t had any strengthloss so far so to me that’s a huge plus. My next session will be tomorrow.
The 17th I’ll get a epidural anesthesia shot in my lower back to lessen the pain. Afterwards I’ll have to stay in the hospital for 5-6 hours so I really hope it’s worth it. I’ve had a similar shot 5 years ago but that didn’t work very well. My back has changed a little over the last few years so this one might just help.
Last Sunday I got a email saying that they’ve found a eldery African lady who is trying to become a Dutch citizen and whom I might be able to help language wise. It’s charity work which sounded very interesting to me when I was looking into making myself useful for society. Right now I doubt that I can work for more then 2-3 hours a day and only then I’m very limited when it comes to standing and sitting so a charity job seems like a good way to get into every day life again. I am actively looking for a job though.
With this charity job I’ll be, what they call, a language coach and I’ll help a wannabe citizen for at least 1 year to learn the Dutch language and every day Dutch life by hanging out with them.
Since I’ve spent most of the last 5 years being in a similar situation in America, it seems like a perfect charity job for me.
Besides that it’s been really quiet here and I’ve spent quite some time playing Second Life and Facebook games.
I am working on a new 3D picture but I’m having a period again where it’s hard to stay focused.
I really have my ups and downs due to my depression but in 2 weeks I’ll hear whom I’ll get as psychologist in a facility that specialises in pain and depression. I have been going to a “regular” psychologist who has referred me to them since I got depressed due to my back pain and physical limitations caused by it.
