Spend most of the day hanging around the house, but managed to do something useful in the afternoon: I cleared out my (indoor) shed, to make room for all the stuff mum is moving to my place tomorrow (tv, hifi-set and computer). Also spent some time in the attic, putting up some more movie-pictures and cutting a doormat to fit in front of the door.
At night I went to see The Bourne Supremacy (for free, 'cause I collected ten stamps on my movie-card:). Before I could cycle home I had to lift my bike out of a mountain of bikes. Got a bit cranky about the absolute lack of decency of these people. I know there are less bicycle-racks since they rebuild the trainstation, but I don't dump my bike on top of others, I choose to walk a little further to an available free spot, sigh. If only everyone else was as smart, decent and clever as I am. (if you think I'm kidding, you obviously don't know me very well;)
Finished the night watching a recorded episode of 'The Block' (they should really stop with that 'later on the series'-crap. Like I'm not gonna watch anymore unless they tell me what's going to happen, tsss) and a WestWing-episode, that was quite frankly a little boring. (about The State Of The Union, which I consider as fake as our 'Prinsjesdag')

Yes, it worked: thanks to my pyjama-bottoms I didn't freeze my ass off and had a good night's sleep:) Still had to get up earlier than usual to get rid of all that water I had been drinking because of my dry throat, but felt a lot better than yesterday-morning. Less snot, more couching, very annoying, but at least I'm feverfree all day. Ate a lot of licorice at work, which gets really boring after a while, if only chocolate worked as well for a sore throat;)
At night I didn't use the very good excuse of being sick and went to work out anyway. I was admired by all (okay some) when Jurrie noticed how much weight I had been pressing on the leg-machine (fyi 120 kilo's, the maximum:<)
At home I relaxed 'for a while' in front of the tv (actually over two hours before I hit the shower;) but it was very educational: politics on Ned 3 and an interesting experiment on the BBC: fulltime parents took turns to take care of their children for two weeks each to decide who would give up their job... You may guess only once which one of them changed to a part-time job at the end of the experiment. It wasn't the male half of the couple, even thought he reeeeally wanted to... Typical. -sigh-

My throat isn't feeling better yet, but I think the worst is over. I'm in that annoying itchy-cough-stage, but the fever is gone, so I'm going to work (tough girl me;)
Busy, busy, busy and my computer is not cooperating (even Macs have their off-days;) so at the end of the day I feel like I've spent my day waiting (restarting takes for ever because of the PC-server) instead of working, but I get to go home, so who cares;)
At home I made myself a decent meal (again!), this time I'm having cordon bleu with my beets and potatoes. The Sneakpreview (surprise-movie, every monday evening) is a short one, so I'm home relatively early. I really wanted to go to bed straight away, but then I sat down with the remote control...
