Argh, I have a new kitten, it’s a great little furball (black, of course) but he has one major flaw: he loves to play with my hair, and thinks it appropriate to jump on my shoulders from every possible direction with outstretched claws ! Grrr !! Not only bad for my bloodpressure (I nearly get a heart attack when he does that while I’m at the PC, or eating, or folding up laundry, or whatever) but also not exactly the best thing for the once smooth skin on my shoulders. How on earth can I teach him it’s simpy NOT done, even tho the strands move playfully ? Heh, I can divert him to my dog’s ears (he doesn’t seem to mind), but not very long. Oh, and my hand is completely scratched as well, but that’s my own fault, cos I love to play with him. Hmmm, cats…

Oh well, gonna do some shopping here, have my parents, bro and in-laws for dinner tonight. Yay…

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 !

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…

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.
