Departure |
 
  |
Most looking forward
to:
I just want some rest and
silence. That is all. I've not been so well lately, getting better, day
by day. Hopefully the Transformation will make things better. I don't know.
Of course I am curious to
see what food there will be. I read a lot about the fantastic variations,
and how we will learn cooking from preparing food. How convenient!
Least looking forward
to:
I have been thinking - what
if I die before I arrive at the CAS thing? I am sick, perhaps I'm too sick
to get through? But if so, will I ever get to know? Well, not much I can
do about it. And I will miss making preserves and churbing butter.
Top wish at the CAS
clinic:
Being my age you sort of
lose interest in your looks. I must admit I was a bit disappointed when
I was introduced to my recreation, but now I know I can live with it. And
Steve, my man, says they did a great job. *shrug* I like his looks too,
but he says he will have his eyebrows adjusted. Those men, so self centered!
*shrug*

CAS clinic |
 |
General:
Well, Steve and I was a
bit upset from our stay at the CAS clinic. Not that they weren't clever
or anything, but we got to know some facts about ageing, and we both realized
that they were going to make us real, real elders!
Best moment of CAS
clinic visit:
To have Steve admiring me
after seeing my new appearance. It felt a lot better. It was a true blessing
to have my hair tied back like I use to. And my glasses! And, depites the
fact I'm getting old, well, I felt better than in a long time! I was so
sick back in the old world, it is still nagging me, but I feel I can go
on for a few more days. Well, with some luck, that is *shrug*.
Worst moment of the
CAS clinic visit:
To realize that I am getting
quite old! Now I just pray by Similius that I will make it long enough
to taste and prepare all the new food they are talking about.
Tomorrow we will check out
the new Johanna's Kitchen that the building team has prepared for us.

Day 1 |
 |
General:
Yes, both hubby Stevie and
I we were very nervous and excited about the new house! And we couldn't
believe our eyes when we left the taxi and stepped into the outdoor restaurant.
First we were worried because it was all outdoor, but then hubby remembered
they said the weather will mostly be sunny, still. What a marvelous view!
And a nice tree garden next to the terracce, too. Oh my Similius!
Best moment of the
day:
Seing the terracce, and
all those cute small tables and chairs. And there was a gate! Next best
moment was to realize that all rooms were on one level. No more stairs
climbing on my part *shrug*
Worst moment of today:
Feeling dizzy again right
after we entered our new home. I thought they cured it at the CAS clinic?
Well... perhaps I was dizzy of pure joy.

Day 2 |
 |
General:
Some neighbours visited.
They were hoping the restaurant was open, which I told them no, I need
some time to get familiar with new recipes. Mrs leGrox insisted, so I had
no choice but serve them some toasts out there on the terracce. The other
guests were the brother and sister Mingonge, John Stello (Radio S-59) and
Sven Hornsby (Mazaloom Historical Society).
Best moment of the
day:
Watching the great yummy
food channel on the tv. And noticing that most of the guests (except Mrs
leGrox) were paying attention, too!
Worst moment of today:
When Mrs leGrox was food
poisoned from eatng my food! Oh well, it was perfect the first serving,
but in this world it seems food gets old much quicker. And Mrs leGrox who
arrived here weeks before me should know to be careful. Well, she will
survive.

Day 3 |
 |
General:
There is so much to catch
up with! I really miss the local Food Club, they could have taught me a
lot, but I guess they need time to find each other, just like me. Well,
I study cooking every day. Today I read through 2 more books, my eyes are
sore, but this is my passion! I had a great day!
Best moment of the
day:
Learning a new dish, I can't
wait to serve it in the restaurant!
Worst moment of today:
Closing the restaurant for
the day with not one single guest visiting!

Day 4 |
 |
General:
My hubby, Steve, is a former
Hood Council member, and today Juliana Valentino, current Spokes Sim, visited.
Steve invited her in to play some chess and to discuss the new community
structure. I wish he would leave it to others, younger sims like Mrs Valentino.
But after all, hubby is once again a Hood Council member, Pet owner's representative.
The only problem is that there are absolutely no pets around. Wonder what
his new speciality will be?
Best moment of the
day:
Reaching level 8 on cooking.
I can't wait to celebrate the wonderful world of cooking when I reach the
top!
Worst moment of today:
Visited a doctor, my eyes
are getting worse. He said I should run the restaurant only every other
day or hire assistance.

Day 5 |
 |
General:
Finally, word of mouth seems
to help. Today the restaurant was packed. I was exhausted from serving
them all, but it was pure joy! Wonderful! Well, it was mainly our closest
neighbours (again), but they are nice Sims who I don't think I recall from
the flat world. They seem to appreciate having a local restaurant in their
area.
Best moment of the
day:
Can't remember anything
in particular. The restaurant guests loved my cooking, I guess that should
count.
Worst moment of today:
Getting totally blind for
a second while serving Huin Mingone, and I dropped a toast on her lovely
red dress. She just laughed, but I felt miserable!
