ridicully | (no subject)

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.

*huuuuuuuuuugs* (I'm not a fan of hugging in RL too) *giggles* Hell, why didn't I know your birthday was yesterday. *hangs head in shame* Happy belated birthday then !

And a notebook .. awww I got one for my birthday myself even if it's a used one I love it to death. They are useful believe me. I keep taking it to work (videostore) with me. It's an addiction believe me you'll fall in love with it and never want to miss it.

Happy Belated Birthday!

You sneaky thing - I do hope you had a great day, and have fun with your new toy. I think it's the toys that you *don't* need that are often the most fun. :-)

:-)

I was supposed to get a used one too, but then my father decided he'd keep his old one.
I belive I'll also take it with me quite a lot, for fic-reading if nothing else :)

Thanks, and yes, the day was very nice.
And think I'll have a lot of fun with the toy. (Maybe this will be the first computer I'll actually give a name: 'The Toy' ;)
