illness = boredom

yesterday at 7am, going to work

Hello again,

apparently I (and J also) caught a flu last weekend so this week has passed by feeling more or less sick. On Tuesday I went to work but I shouldn't have done that, it just made me feel even worse. On Wed I went to the health center and they prescribed a few days of sick leave for me. On Wed I wouldn't have had a shift anyway, but I had to cancel my Thursday shift. And I hate being sick, it's so so so booorinnngggg...! I just hung around here watching Sex and the City and all the shit that was offered on TV. On Thursday I was already so frustrated that I asked J if we could go to the movies, and we did. We went to see Ted, I had thought that it's a children movie, and that's why I wondered why it's R16. But now I see why :D But at least I liked it, haha.

On Friday I went back to work. I wasn't feeling perfect but neither did I need sick leave. Yesterday I had a long day there (and now I'm feeling worse again). After work my sister came to visit me, we haven't seen each other in a few weeks so she came to hang with me for a while. J came here in the evening and we watched The Dark Knight.

Today we didn't get up from the bed until it was 3 o'clock or something, lazy asses! Luckily this is a day off for me, hope I'll feel better tomorrow because I'm gonna have four days of work in a row again. Have a nice Sunday :-)

one sunny evening, leaving from work

once again ...

.. I'm feeling sick. surprise surprise! I don't accept this anymore. The reason must be the same as the reason why I was sick all the time last summer: mold. Once I've been exposed to the mold damage (in my apartment last summer), I'm more sensible to have a reaction against it again, even if there wasn't much of it. And as in our current apartment, there had been some kind of a renovation in our bathroom due to a moisture damage before we moved here, I'm sure there's some mold left in the structures/fabrics, maybe not observable but enough to cause a reaction in me. The symptoms are exactly the same (as those that I had last summer and as they are described in various web pages): prolonged cold / flu symptoms, coughing, sneezing (ALL THE TIME), sore throat (killing me), blocked nose, irritated&itchy skin, skin rash, itchy eyes, headaches etc. Like a prolonged flu without fever. Frustrated? Yes! Irritated? Yes!

Oh well. I felt terrible this morning, then it got better, but now it's worse again. I'm a bad person and I didn't go to the English class (I would have become even more frustrated there - yesterday we were only three students there and we practiced verb infinitives & -ing-forms..).
Weather has been too good lately. Sun sun sun, no clouds, no wind. I'm sweating at home, at school, outside. All day long (okay evenings are good). I shouldn't complain (because I hate coldness) but this goes almost over the top. In my opinion, +26-28 would be an optimal temperature in the daytime, but at least yesterday, I was going to school at 7pm and the thermometers outside still indicated +31 degrees. At 7pm?! And it's only May.. this is not normal :D There wouldn't be any problem if I could spend the days lying on the beach - but I can't! Maybe on the weekend... if my throat hasn't killed me by then.

PS. I've run out of the salt liquorice :( now I have to wait 'til Finland to get more of it, nooooo!! I'm also craving the basic oatmeal porridge, Elovena's apple-cinnamon oatmeal porridge...
