Thursday and Friday were great.
Until I went to bed Friday evening. And then I thought to myself – I must be getting sick – there was that tattletale sign of a mild sore throat.
And so it was: Saturday I woke up feeling like crap. Which continued through Sunday and Monday. I was […]
Christmas Cheer!
Wow. My blog has been quiet this month – but before I get into what’s been going on, let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.
Although, all things considered, I’m probably not the first person to do this – so just take my seasonal greetings in the manner […]
Germany seems to have come down with a cold.
No.
Germany seems to have come down with a number of colds, and I am getting each one in turn. So far, I’ve had three distinct colds – a heavy duty cold in late January that marked its entrance with a headache and minor fever. Two […]
Ah… if I were stateside today, I would be eating turkey.
But I’m not. I’m in Berlin.
And I’m sick.
It actually makes me doubly happy that both of m tentative thanksgiving plans fell through since I would have had to cancel anyway.
Instead I’m spending my second day in a row at home, wondering […]
Lorenzkirche, one of many pretty churches in Nürnberg.
Saturday I headed south from Berlin to Nürnberg, something close to 4 solid hours on the train. Luckily I managed to get two seats to myself.
Unluckily, as I was checking into my hotel, I realized that I had a massive, massive headache, and no Tylenol […]
Most of the time, I’m indifferent to religious holidays.
This time, the timing actually perfect: somebody charitably shared a cold with me and I need the time off to recover. The cold first made itself known to me late Monday night, walloped me Tuesday (enough that I stayed home and slept 90% of the day), […]
This has been a pretty rough week for me—and it’s not work related.
Instead I have cold that seemed to be mild, but I suspect it knocked me off my otherwise still moving feet.
Usually when I get a cold I have a warning in that I have a mild sore throat. Whenever that happens […]
I’m actually stuck at home, recovering from what appears to be a mild cold.
It started Wednesday when I woke up with a mild sore throat. Instead of risking it, I stayed home, worked from home, and by mid-afternoon I felt fine. The sore throat was gone and I was ready to start dancing.
Thursday […]
A couple weeks ago my PseduoWife was trying to explain to somebody here in Germany what Pepto-Bismol is—and she turned to me for an assist.
Unfortunately I was not the right person to ask because as a child my Mother was serving up Kaopectate whenever I was in a position to need it—and, as a […]
From a Burger King's Kid's Meal!
Beam Me Up: For now Burger King is winning my business—I’ve collected three of the Star Trek figures: Young Spock, Old Spock, and Captain Kirk. Sorry PapaScott, but this trend will continue for at least a week—although truth be told, the competition to Burger King in Weimar’s […]
