i am still very, perhaps more ill, and so i have not found the energy to write in here or to write the many emails i needed to catch up on or to start the 600-page book i really wanted to read in a coffeehouse with hot chocolate or really to do anything i planned with my new free time.
i went to the doctor yesterday because my symptoms seemed worrisomely like those of the flu (muscle aches, fever/hot flashes, congestion, headaches, red eyes, today i even vomited, at work no less) but she very much dismissed it as viral without investigating what i was suspecting. i suppose she gets people like me in there all the time, but she could've at least humoured me. i guess it is nationalized health care...but this is not an ordinary common cold.
i just slept for five hours and am trying to drink water, so hopefully that will help. i feel really bad though because my wonderful spanish friend rosalia is leaving on thursday to return to barcelona forever and i promised i would hang out with her tonight, but i cancelled because i really just should not be out, for my own sake and that of others. hopefully with sleep today and tonight i will feel much better. tomorrow i need to see her and i've ordered a ticket to a christmas carol at the royal lyceum theatre, which i really really want to go to, so everyone hope for me that i will be up for all of it.
i got a stocking full of little gifts and treats from my family today. it was very sweet and i've hung it up in my room so that i can feel like christmas is indeed part of my personal life this year. i also sent out some christmas cards and a package home of gifts yesterday, and i think they might take eons to arrive, which is quite disappointing but i really didn't have time to get them out any sooner, sadly.
tonight i will be lying low and hopefully with enough energy writing some emails and reading my book. wish me luck.
