an update

I'm sick again.

Actually, it's the third time this month. The first two times must have been warm ups for this thing I'm currently nursing. For the last two days, I have worn an unsightly, though comfortable, combination of pajamas, sweat pants, and sweaters. And, although I cover myself with layers of blankets and wool socks, I never can maintain normal body temperature. I lazed on the couch all afternoon yesterday watching DVDs but when the four episodes of Gilmore Girls on the disc finished, I lacked the energy to switch the disc. This left with me with the only options of watching daytime British tv or taking nap; I chose the latter.

I made an appointment with the doctors yesterday at 10:15. Though it was only a 10-minute walk to the office, I felt like I accomplished the impossible by actually getting dressed, running a brush through my hair, and leaving the house. But when I got there, the receptionist informed me that my appointment was actually set for 10:50 (those numbers sound quite alike, especially if you throw in a Derbyshire accent and plugged ears). Sadly, I turned around to go back home only to have to walk there again 30 minutes later.

I think I'm on the mend now but messages of well-wishes are welcome.

A bit off topic...

I'm learning how to use a manual SLR camera. Take a look at some of my shots from my first three rolls of film, if you're interested.
