Update

- Technician came today, so I have internet at home now. (The problem was neither with the notebook nor with the modem. It was 2 allegedly unpaid phone bills, i.e. they cut off the line. Merely to have my internet back, I paid, but will have to investigate, because I *always* pay my bills)

- Stomach slightly better, but only slightly. Every day I wake up with stomach ache, and the most adventurous thing I've eaten so far without any negative consequences are tomatoes. Tried 2 small pieces of grilled -- and admittedly fat -- sausage last night. Not good. Back to broth, carrots and mashed potatotes.

- Lost considerable amount of fat. Every cloud has its silver lining.

- Hell Week has been officially downgraded to Slightly Shitty Week, because 1) I won't have to accompany Secretary of State all day tomorrow, but only from airport to hotel, and 2) he'll be gone by 2.30 p.m. on Thursday. I'm trying to get out of dinner at the residence tomorrow, because I can't eat, and I'm not really needed. Boss has different view on the latter, I'm afraid.

- I caved in and ordered the complete Babylon 5.

- No progress on the H. front, mostly because he's away (has been since Saturday), and I go away the day after he comes back. That's the stuff romance is made of. Dire plans of full frontal attack are being hatched for July, though.

- Don't want to go to Vienna on Sunday, but it can't be helped. *cue deep, dangerous growl*

That's all folks. I haven't been reading the f-list for quite some time, due to lack of internet. Sorry. Catching up isn't really an option, I'm afraid. But I'll be back to normal after I return from Vvienna, i.e. starting on 1 July.
