Hmmm, I should be working right now, but that would have meant working on the keyboard from hell, so I decided to go home early.
Good idea - I avoided being out when the rain/hail/whateverthisissupposedtobe started.
I'm deliberately ignoring the fact that I still have to go out at least three times today.

I'm thinking I should feel grumpy - I even got a reason to, since my sore throat has decided to invite a running nose and a stiff neck to move in with it - but apart from the not being able to turn my head, to swallow or breath properly I'm actually happy.

After three years most of the people have understood that I don't want to be hugged, I mostly got 'Hope you had a nice birthday''s and a nod today. Very good!
Perfect present from the family - I knew it in advance, but still - a notebook! I don't need one and won't be getting anything for Christmas either, but NOTEBOOK! With silly things like a CD/DVD-burner, a memory stick, some 60 GB of hard drive, w-lan,... all of which I really don't need but am happy to have anyway.
And as I looked for the mail as I came home, and found a letter with chocolate inside.

I'm now the proud owner of

a notebook
(Theoretically - I told them not to send it as I'll be visiting on the 22nd anyway.)
Nanny Ogg's Cookbook
(Julia actually came over yesterday to give it to me)
chocolate

Life is good.

But I still have to bike to Möckern in three hours and I just know that the weather doesn't like me.
