Sick

I've been so sick the past week or so that I've not really done anything. I stayed in bed for 5 days and I haven't left the house in 8. I have learned though that I can't handle the main cough medicine here that you can get with a prescription because the morphine in it makes me vomit. Lovely isn't it? So I'm on prescription number 2, which works less well, but is way nicer to my stomach.

I'm really looking forward to being off of school next week. David will be home too. Speaking of David, he got himself one of those step measuring devices. So now I will have to drag him out on LONG walks so that he doesn't let his team down at school. I'm trying to convince him that he should walk to work each morning, but he doesn't seem to be buying the idea. It's only about 20-30 minutes to walk there and it'd be good for our gas usage and for his health! Although it IS cold outside! In another few weeks though, then it will be light even when he comes home from work at 5.

Myself, I'm hoping that I'll make it out of the house this evening. Tomorrow I've got to be at the unemployment office and I'm hoping to get back to school tomorrow. Thursday hopefully I can get back to the gym. Since I still have to go lie down a lot right now, I figure it's probably best to wait until Thursday for any serious exercise again.

Valentine's Day

Today I'm going to get flowers! I know this because I told David that he was to buy me flowers. We've got a nice dinner planned for tonight too.

Meanwhile, I'm cleaning the house and going to meet someone for fika today. Always fun. Swedish is taking up a huge amount of time to study actually. Between books to read, words to learn, and papers to write... not to mention lectures to attend, it takes quite a lot of time. The job search is coming along. I applied to another new job yesterday, we'll see if I get it or not. And tomorrow is the unemployment office. Fun fun fun.

Winter Festivities!

David and I are going to have a winter party Saturday night! I'm so looking forward to it! We're going out to the summer house and if the snow is good, we'll have snowman building contests and all sorts of other bits of fun. I'll even do prizes!

I need to go shopping and buy stuff for this tomorrow. I can't wait!

TIRED!

It's amazing how tired one can be after just one day. Today was a pretty busy day. Started out with biking out to the far side of town in order to give English lessons. Then did that for an hour, then biked home. On the way home I got myself completely soaked when a big truck drove through a puddle. Even my hat was soaking wet. My winter jacket and pants got dirty too. Then came home, ate a fast lunch, did my homework, then biked to school. Then I got to sit through /3/ hours of Swedish lessons. Then bike home. I shoveled the snow on the front driveway then came inside. I'm doing laundry now since those clothes need washing. I hope they'll dry before tomorrow. They should since they are synthetic. I've also picked up most of the apartment. How do we end up with clothes everywhere. I've got some more cleaning to do, dishes, vacuuming, dinner, and homework. NO idea where I'm going to get the energy. Life is life. *WHINE* I think I'm going to come to hate Wednesdays.
