I am not feeling great.
My stomach is not at all well. My back and neck are hurting. My head hurts a little sometimes and is just dizzy and woozy from diamox. And the eye is a little strained from the laser proecdure. And I am very tired all the time.
It’s not completely horrible, it’s just not all that great. And I did throw up a little the night before last. Feel like I am about to again now. Probably won’t, though.
Also it’s very cold. Denmark has been hit by a lot of snow. It makes me a little sad, that I can’t go out and enjoy it. Partly because I don’t know how well my cane would work in the snow, and partly because I can’t stand the cold anymore. My poor circulation. I used to withstamd freezing temperatures with ease. Not so anymore.
I can’t believe there is only a week till christmas. I’ll be celebrating at my parents’ of course. Uncle Jens will be with us, so that should be nice. If I’m lucky he may be able to come pick me up in his car. That would make things easier. By the time I’ll be going home he will probably have had something to drink, though, so I’ll probably have to walk home in the dark, quite possibly in snow. That’s not going to be fun. But maybe I’ll take a taxi or something. Even though it’s a short way. Anyway, I won’t let that ruin the christmas mood. I’m sure it will be nice. If I can just stay out of the hospital for the holidays then I’ll be happy.
That’s all I want for christmas, Santa.

I’m sure Santa will let you spend Christmas at home and not at hospital! Can’t you stay at your mum and dad’s on Christmas Eve rather than having to brave the streets in the dark, cold, winter night?

I told Santa in no uncertain terms, was he to send you to the hospital at Christmas. I will send attack goats after him. (I will tell the goats he has a huge pocketful of peanuts!)
I have been watching old episodes of “The Office” (American version) on Tuesday nights. They run back-to-back episodes for several hours.
They are so funny. In the last place I worked, I answered the phone and left messages for the staff and nurses when they couldn’t come to the phone. Some days it was so hectic and crazy, I could just about scream after answering the phone about 100 + times.
So I started making up phone call messages from Tom Selleck, James Garner, Mick Jagger, etc. One nurse said Tom Selleck never would be calling her, so I left a message for her that Danny DeVito had called!
Sure broke the tension up and we all had a good laugh…especially when Danny DeVito wanted to meet the nurse in his secluded house on the beach. hee, hee
When I worked at a retail store, especially during holidays, it was always crazy. The customers were wicked, they would push you with the shopping carts, and start circling staff members like sharks.
One of my jobs was to pick up the money in the cash registers so it could be counted and taken to the bank during the day. I would leave Christmas candy in their cash register drawers or jelly beans at Easter time when I made a cash pick-up.
The check-out girls would come up to the registers, ring up a long list of items, tell the customer the amount, and when she opened up the cash drawer…voila… chocolate candy! The girls would be rather stunned…”there’s candy in my drawer!” and then start laughing.
We would also get to dress up in costumes or silly outfits for “Crazy Days” sales at the store. I came as a gypsy in a long dress, lots of jewelry, and offered to tell fortunes.
Many of my co-workers were dressed unusually as well. The really funny thing was that the customers didn’t seem to notice anything different about us! It was on a Saturday and it wasn’t until after noon, that customers really looked at us and noticed something was a little different!

Desiree – Yes, I could stay at my parents. Only thing is that I am awfully paranoid about my apartment. I don’t like leaving it empty. Especially at night. And especially on christmas/new years eve where burglaries are at their highest. And especially now that all the coppers have spent all their overtime on taking care of Obama and Arnie at the climate conference. I know it’s a bit daft, but I just really don’t like it. So I’ll get myself home somehow.
desiree – Thank you for the presents! The goats opened them, before I could stop it! I swear. But thank you very much. Those warm socks are going to come in handy on goat trips. And I do think I’ll wear the shirt when I go have christmas with the folks. I dont have a lot of longsleeves so its quite handy. Make sure to thank Sam and the goatzies from me as well, You are all too nice.
I still havent seen the US version of The Office. But the UK version is one of my favourite things of all times. And so are your stories now! You should have your own show. The Goat Office. Id watch that!

I know the goats will notice if you’re wearing something new. You’ll have to see if your parents notice, too! hee, hee (At least your parents won’t chew on the shirt!)
I had trouble understanding the UK Office version. Might have been the accent or just didn’t get their humor somehow. The US version is just about like every office I’ve worked in before.
