Mmmm…. Now this is vacation ! I really didn’t write this down
yesterday, cos I felt too lazy for that even. I had the most wonderful
of days for ages. All I did was stay at home tho. But…
I slept
long, and then I installed myself on the couch, still in pyamas, a cup
of hot cocoa as well… Outside it was damn cold, bright sunshine, and
all covered in snow. Beautiful ! And inside, well, there was the lights
of the Xmas tree, the purring cat on top of me, the dog at my feet, the
nice crackling fire, and a very good book. So all I did was read, have a
small bite to eat, have some cocoa or coffee, read on, get up and give
my hubby a kiss, read on, light the other lights and draw the curtains,
read on… Mmmm… And not even a shred of urgent work here… So I felt
as relaxed as could be, was quite a new experience… *hugs the world*
Feeling happy, for a change !
Heh (insert sigh of relief here)
Finally got that correction over and done with. Cost me 50 hours, and lots and lots of them, mostly the fourth graders, have failed. 🙁 God they pissed me off ! Why on earth can’t they study ? It’s Latin, for crying out loud, they’re supposed to study! Made me feel so bad the last couple of days… Even thought about quitting the teaching thing, if these are the only results I get. Grrrrr !
On another note: I’m a redhead again 🙂 Really like it, me happy girl about that.
The office on the top floor is coming along nicely too, lots of work still, but hey, it looks great. Will be such a good change, when Bart has his own office up there, and I get my place down here. Much more logical, and lots more peace. Good thing indeed.
Another very positive thing: my hairdresser gave me a brilliant idea for a gift for my mom. Gonna get her a big cheque for nice lingerie, the kind that you wouldn’t buy for yourself cos it’s too expensive :-), then gonna get that cheque canned, so it looks like an ordinary can. Yep yep, happy girl here too.
Oh, Nihil: would you be so kind as to give us a hand this weekend to move some furniture ? I can’t take the weight 🙁 and I REALLY want my desk installed…
Got nearly suffocated in phonecalls, over the oddest subjects possible.
One
made my heart yearn tho: the GM from one of the small one-day larps
called me and asked me if I was going to be present on Saturday. I had
to decline, cos I’m far from fit, methinks. It’s a small tribe of
barbarians, 20 max, and I’m their leader, and biggest fighting machine. I
really can’t be all that if I’m as weak as my bicycle ride this morning
painfully showed me. Sigh…
goth clubs should serve coffee. ice cold coffee. with nails and broken glass. and call then ‘depresso’s
I feel absolutely crap. No idea why tho. Had a great concert on
Thursday, slept only 4 hours, but work the day after went well. Came
home, slept a bit on the couch, felt tired but ok.
Today I got up at
11 (after a few times of rolling over already), read a little, did some
work, went back to bed at 13.30, only to get up at 17.00…
Just
showered, still feel crap. There’s this Tolkien quiz tonight I want to
attend, but hell… I don’t know yet, might just stay on the couch…
Tomorrow I’ll know whether I’m pregnant or not…
Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
Tonight…. Mmmmmm !!! Rosanna-Kai is arriving here by train at 16.34, so I can pick her up, Grimlach is coming round about 16.30, and then my brother should arrive too… FOR THE CURE !!!!!!
Yes, 4 hours of pure undiluted Cureness !!!!
I so hope Grimlach will feel better by then, I want him to be there !!! Grim: don’t leave me alone with that woman, you know I’m not good around them :-pppp
Today is my two year anniversary with Glod. Still happy, still in love. Even my husband wished me grats. Strange people. Happy me.
My right arm is in a cast, for three weeks. Great. Just great. Oh well… Hope I can find someone who’s willing to draw a goth design on it.
Yesterday was, as opposed to today, a really crappy day !!! I keep forgetting on a Larp that I’m not 20 anymore: only slept about 5 hours over the weekend, so I was tired as hell yesterday, literally. I managed to get up at 7.30, was at school at 8.30, started teaching, without much of a voice. I did warn all classes: I felt sick, tired, had a headache, and the lack of voice pissed me off majorly. They behaved.
In the afternoon tho, after another hour of teaching, I stood up (apparently I had developed a fever by then) to write the agenda on the blackboard, and my head started spinning. All became black, I had an outburst of cold sweat, and the students said I was very very pale. Nearly fainted there. Being too stubborn to give up tho (it was my very own fault after all), I managed to stay another hour and take a test. The students were even concerned about me driving my car. God, I must have looked awful !
Anyway, made it home, slept a little, watched some telly, corrected some, slept long. Definitely feel better already. Luckily.
Had a cool day, yes indeed. And the guy who made it cool was Faust, once more.
After
a long sleep (1st years are out to Technopolis) I got up at 9.40, did
some work, went for groceries, and went to teach. After that I went over
to Faust’s place, where we had lots of coffee (the usual), some
smokies, and discussed a lot.
Topic of the day: the quantum theories of Stephen Hawking as compared with/opposed to Plato, Democritos, Pythagoras. We found quite a lot parallels, to be honest. Was a really interesting discussion. Hawking has the weirdest theories, and he can prove all of them scientifically, being a positivist. I really like the 11-dimensional gravity, and the strings between the different universes that are lightyears long. Nice. Complicated.
Yes, an afternoon well spent.
