Well, I survived this one

Not that I was in any doubt re the surviveability of this stinking summer virus, but it's funny, really, how the body manages to forget, again and again, how shitty it feels when having a fever. The mind knows and remembers that it was lousy, but that's different. Anyway, Sunday was bad, with temperature always hovering between 37,5 and 38, and it stayed at 37,1 or 2 almost the whole night. So I stayed home yesterday, because I was feeling rather wrung-out. Better now, but my body is still producing large amounts of gunk, mostly for it to want out when I've just fallen into a light doze. But I slept ok till about 4.30.
Boss was being very nice about it all and postponed his holiday by one day.
So today it's back to the treadmill.
Janine arrives tomorrow, unless the volcano acts up again, and on Thursday we'll go to Ohrid, till Saturday. Can't work up much enthusiasm right now, but that's probably due to abovementioned gunk. The change of air should help with that problem, though.
At least I didn't lose my sense of smell and taste this time.
And what did boss say, when he called me yesterday to inquire how I was feeling? "You'd do anything so you didn't have to show up at that marathon, wouldn't you?"  I told him I'd expected him to say exactly that, and that he was pathetically predictable.

Because spamming is fun

I never thought I'd ever write the words "I'm going to buy a car".
But I am.
I'll have the car by the end of June, i.e. before I'll have my driving licence, because lots of people are leaving Skopje at the beginning of summer, and some of them need to sell their cars. If everything goes well, I'll be proud owner of a 3-year-old Toyota RAV4 with automatic transmission (from American colleague), with a mileage of only 12K, which is as good as new.
That ought to be just the right incentive for passing the driving test.
*wibbles*
And I know I'll be very, very happy to abandon stick driving and switch to automatic as soon as I'll have passed the test.
The price is amazingly low, too.
OMG I'm going to buy a bloody *car*!!!
(All I really care about is the CD player, but I'm not going to mention that to anyone)
