Hello Again, Hello

Well HELLO there! (if there is still anyone here, that is).

I just emerged from my first shower after sweating my arse off in bed with a 104 fever. To me that is about the best shower you can have, after some days like that, all sweaty, achy, moany and then *poof * feeling all fresh again. I feel much better now that my fever broke overnight. My belleh is still achy and I feel wrung out but at least we’re on the way up here, and that’s all that counts.

Oh and on that subject: I need to give a shout out for mah girl Certifiable Princess. She is in bed with a kidney infection, much worse than anything I had, and she neeeeds some luvin.

I never ended up at the beach on Wednesday. I was already suffering from aches and a rumbling tummy and though we briefly drove over to the seaside, my friend Audrey and I, we soon decided that there was a way too cold breeze out there and we decided to drive up to one of the city parks in Amsterdam. We had a nice lunch and spent some hours in the sun until she had to be back home. Which was about the time I started feeling hotter and hotter (and I don’t mean in a good way). So I dropped her off at home and I drove myself to the GP’s office to have myself checked over.

As I was having these cramps and pains mainly on the left side I was kinda fearing that it might be my appendix but checking over by the GP soon learned that it was “just” a regular bowel infection. Yeah… it feels much the same though and after getting meds from the pharmacy I checked myself into the Big DutchBitch Bed where I have mostly been over the past days.

To make matters worse: in the park, doubling over during a cramp moment, my iPhone flipped out of my jeans pocket… I managed to catch it and it seemed fine but a few hours later there were 2 cracks in the screen. Not sure what happened there but it’s brokuuunnnn! Thank Gawd I am insured and they picked up my iPhone the same night and it’s off for repairs now. I will have to do without it for at LEAST 2 weeks. Which wouldn’t be thát bad if they had not given me a fucking crap smart phone as a temporary replacement. I will have to do with an HTC S710 for now. For people who don’t know what that is: it’s a fucking ancient smart phone and tooootal crap! Like THIS (click). I am dying here, people!

I didn’t miss the semi-final between Dutchyland and Uruguay tho. I did see most of it and Holy Shit! We are in the finals! Against Spain! It is going to be a daunting task to win the finals, as well, Spain didn’t end up in the finals for no reason either. I hope our Dutch guys won’t be too overly confident and arrogant, as they tend to be sometimes, and just beat the shit out of them. I am working hard on feeling good enough on Sunday to go out and see the final with my friend Audrey on a big screen somewhere in the city. Oh and a message to The Kid: I am taking your “Holland” flag. Mummy doesn’t have orange clothes, hon, and she needs something…

Speaking of The Kid. He is away on Bali right now with his dad. And to say that that departure went off without a hitch would be a lie. It has been a long time since I had that much shit with The Ex over stuff. He just wouldn’t take the time to have The Kid vaccinated. And seeing as we have this Brugada syndrome issue with him, I wouldn’t let him go without (I wouldn’t let him go without if he didn’t have any health issues either, just for the record). I was on the verge of threatening with a court order to have The Kid not go without vaccination when he finally had it taken care off. I also had to ask again and again and over agáin for the flight and hotel information until finally, dropping off The Kid on the day they were departing, I got it from him. It just pisses me off how he tries to avoid any responsibility and makes me feel like a whiny bitch in the process… Urgh…I finally got a text message from my darling son on Sunday telling me they had arrived safely so all is good in the world. The Kid is having a great time and that is good enough for me.

Oh and for all of you people burrying me in tweets, emails and whatnot on the whereabouts of Lady Penelope: she is fine. She is just excruciatingly busy at work and getting ready for her family vacation and that has taken her away from all the internet happenings for a while. We are not “broken up” (in fact, the title of this post is an “ode” to something she loves, yes it is). She is ok, just busy busy busy and needs to keep her head together pre-summer break finishing up at work (at which June/early July is a very manic time), kids at home that have already finished school and getting ready for vacation that is actually a week earlier than she thought it was (eek!). I am sure that she will be back after her vacation, trust me.

So there ya go, the happenings of the past few days. Now I need to get myself dressed (heh) and sit down for a bit. Hopefully I will feel well enough this p.m. to go out for some groceries, as my fridge and cupboards are kind of empty.

Hope you all have a great Friday! And if I don’t end up here again before that time: Cheer for us Dutchies on Sunday!!!

Beach or no beach, that is the question

In a few hours I hope to have picked up my friend Audrey and have our asses parked somewhere here

My body is not fully cooperating yet tho, I have been up all night with stomach cramps ‘n shit (and when I say “shit” that is exactly what I mean: shit)… I hope it dies down a bit and I can relax and enjoy my very first day on the beach in the year 2010…

Fingers (and other possible body parts) crossed!

Honey! I’m Home!

I arrived back home after my 1.5/2 day trip to attend the wedding of my friends.

The wedding was every level of awesome. A-ma-zing.

I would tell you more, but I am seriously pooped. I am spent.

So I am putting my feet up and will get back to you on a wedding report later this weekend.
