Well Hello There

Hiya folks. I am back from the edge of dying bronchitis. Last week I was feeling really lethargic and not quite myself and then by Thursday "BAM!", it hit me. I thought I had a cold and therefore told myself to man up and get myself some Dayquil. I had things to do. Saturday we went to a ball and a lot of it is a blur but I do believe I had a very very good time. Our table companians were fun to talk to and my dress did up, win! On Sunday was the birthday party for the Kid and that too my friends is one big blurry memory. There were kids, there was food, there were friends and there were presents but I can't really tell you much more than that. I knew something was wrong when I couldn't even take more than a couple of sips of a Bloody Mary. Monday I called in sick and figured I would sleep this cold off but by Tuesday I had turned into a Walking Dead character croaking out "Where's the goddamn Vicks Vaporub?!" I knew it was time to face my biggest fear; public doctor waiting room. It turned out to better than expected. I was put on antibiotics and pain killers that actually worked and now several days later, I seem to be coming out of my fog.

Taking a week off work is not easy for me but it flew by surprisingly fast. One, because I was actually sick and slept a large majority of the days and two, because a dear friend suggested I check out Happy Endings.

Well, well, well. I had seen Happy Endings in snippets, in German, at 3 a.m. but this time I watched it from the sofa and in English. This show is absolutely brilliant and makes my love of How I Met Your Mother seem like a middle school crush. It is laugh out loud funny and well, I really relate to one of the characters, Jane. She's anal, and organised and has a love of Vision Boards. I heart her.

Watching this show has snapped me out of a fog I feel like I have been in since December. Maybe it has been the weather (the snow has been insane this year and made wearing a heels a bitch), the post Christmas blues (I really truly love Christmas), or general malaise... But oh my friends, I am back with a vengeance and all this free time with just me as company has spurred me to get back on track. Serious weight loss, finding the perfect blonde shade, blogging, working on my novel, doing awesome at my job and getting my charity event off the ground is all in the cards. Let's go Tova, let's go! Clap clap clap!

P.S. Keep May 26th free... We will be having a fun fun time!

A Key Word Post

Image
I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
