and later

ok so i slept most of the day.
i at least managed to walk to the grocery store to grab some much needed things (cheese.  very important) and come back again.
yep.  big day.
*tomorrow* i will adjust to the time difference and get out of the house!
i feel this cold is on its last legs and should leave me soon..
now to get rid of this nasty ticking cough...

more trek to come?  maybe... just maybe....

this apparently means its a birthday in the building, but im going to pretend its just for me.

i lost a day in there somewhere ...

here i am in copenhagen!
flight was good, uneventful.
my six hour layover in amsterdam was nuts.
went through security complete with xrays to get to my gate, found my gate to be small and cold, asked about showers and was told i had to go back to the other end of the terminal, so another passport check and stamp. showered for fifteen euros in a facility that was not worth it (letter to be written), ate some fast food (mayo at mcdonalds in holland is basically tartar sauce?), napped in some 'comfort chairs' and then went through security complete with xrays again, went to my gate, found that it had been switched, spent 25 min finding new gate, read book. phew.

got into copenhagen at 1030 pm, got my suitcase, spent 10 min figuring out the train, bought a ticket, waited. an announcement happened on the platform in danish and everyone around me moved down the platform, so i followed.. got a train, *actually* got off at the right stop! and was found by amalie and allan! and lucifer too!

walked to the homestead, settled a bit and tried to sleep.

the first day was all over. i napped and woke up and napped.
taking a night time flight when you dont sleep well on planes to go to a place that is nine hours ahead will take its toll!

yesterday, once i was up, amalie and i wandered to the pharmacy so she could get some things, then we picked up some snacks and headed back home. we both have colds currently, so there are alot of various drops being taken and tea drank. and kleenex used. and hand sanitizer. good times! i hope we kick these soon.

watched loads of star trek tng as well. always a good remedy.

i think today i am back on track as far as time goes. ill shower eventually here and bundle up and maybe head out to some shops and to explore a bit. either that or ill read the camera manual im currently downloading, as i brought the french version with me. way to go me! .....

Lucifer and I outside the pharmacy

home sweet home

feb 3

so, im getting sick. this is not good.
im supposed to go on vacation and have a merry time! (which i will anyways, but who wants to be sick while doing this?? im pretty sure no one...)
sore throat.. my sinuses are starting to plug up.. ive been drinking orange juice since i woke up around 4 am.
ill drug myself today and hope to chase it out. no sickness!

its going to be a long day due to my being up early as well.
maybe i can leave early.
i do have a massage appointment at 2... oh i cant wait for that.
maybe ill go home afterwards.

3 more days of work. i dont know if i can handle it.
i cant wait for some time to figure my life out. again. yahoo.

oh! and my camera came yesterday!
but the memory card it came with was broken, so hopefully that comes today.
fancy picture taking here i come!

and christine comes tonight as well.
she'll be staying with me until i leave, and then staying in my place while im gone away.

and that. is all i have to report. better go get ready for the gym.
i need to go, but maybe being sick i shouldnt?
i never know what i *should* do, but i know what my inner lazy bastard wants to do.
but that wont help me feel better for work. going back to sleep at this point will make me a zombie all day. ho hum.

sniffle

well, i have a cold.  thats just it.

started my open water scuba diving course the other day, but I have two dives left to do, but my stuffed up sinuses say no diving is happening.. hurts the ears!  so its chill out time.

i just hope that this will clear up soon so i can finish my dives..

gonna go blow my nose now..

oh, and our wireless internet has crapped out again so i have no access to my pics.  boo.

what is normal?

i cant answer that, but what i can tell you is that how i was feeling last night was definately not normal. i would actually describe that feeling as high. stupid cold meds.

i started my day with some cough syrup to stop my dry hack. i then had a hot chocolate. (caffeine!!) oh, and i hadnt eaten anything. so i was super flyin at work and not enjoying the feeling. the rest of the day i stuck to cough drops to stop the coughs..

well when i got home, i decided it was time to hit the syrup one more time cause i was coughing alot. yeah, kept me up til almost 3 am. i was buggin out! it almost made me afraid for how im going to react to and handle the nyquil today. ive had enough of being high on meds.. but at least ill just be laying there today. i hope. maybe sitting up a bit? ack.

oh yeah, and the water from my tap tasted gross last night? i hope its just because of the meds..

i also have to think about food as ill be there for a long time. something more substantial than snacks. i guess i can go across the street for something, but i dont know. i cant remember what ive done for past all day sessions. maybe ill pack a school lunch, with a sandwich, a granola bar and some juice. haha.

i have two hours to figure it out and also eat breakfast, and then i have to start walkin in the rain.

fingers crossed for no weirdness about the jan appointment
