Friday Wrap Up

I've been sick... waaah. Pity party. As I have mentioned a billion times, I hate being sick because I feel lazy. I feel like there are so many things I should be doing and it ticks me off. Wednesday afternoon my lip started throbbing and that told me a cold sore was coming. Then my throat started to hurt and I knew a cold was coming. And then Wednesday in the middle of the night, my stomach started doing the Macarena and I knew a flu was coming. In the morning when I got up, the Husband looked at me and physically flinched. Thanks, guy. Why don't you stay out of the toilet for a little while. It's like Amityville Horror. And then I waved the white flag and took the day off. When you have a kid, being sick can't happen. Thank God for daycare. The Husband had an early meeting so I had to take the Kid. We made it, I dropped him off, I stopped at the grocery store, bought food and threw a bunch of ingredients into the crockpot and made Tom Kha Gai soup. Then I passed out. Then I ate soup. Then I passed out. Then the Nanny was on her way to our place so I hid in the bedroom and watched Modern Family for the first time ever and I am in love. I have heard about this show for years. My mom has watched it. Friends have watched it. I'm sure the Pope has watched it. One friend kept telling me that I had to watch it... And I did and she was right. It is such a good show.

I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 7 and still felt destroyed. So the Husband, bless his heart, took the Kid to daycare and I slept again on the couch. Then I woke up and ate and then slept some more. The Husband came home from work and I sniffled and said "can we turn on the heat, please..." And he did and then he went to get groceries and I ran around the apartment blowing out scented candles because it seemed just a little too convenient that he left just after putting on the gas. (When it comes to gas and technical stuff at home, it kind of is like this)

When he came home I said "Ha! I lived!" and then I sat down and thought that maybe I should cut back on the hot drugged drinks that have been giving me hallucinations the last two days. The pharmacy was out of Neo Citran so the pharmacist gave me other stuff and this other stuff is making me all paranoid and weird. The Husband also decided to put new batteries into a couple of the Kids toys and I screamed at him to make sure the toy was "off" and why oh why was he using a metal screwdriver and he was going to electrocute us all. He made me go back to bed. But joke's on him, I smuggled in the laptop. Ha ha. He is now picking up the Kid and the Inlaws and that gives me some time to smack at imaginary bugs and wonder how I'd look with the "Rachel" haircut. Sigh. I need to get clean. No more of this Neo Citran imposter. Sleep tight...

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".
