Yesterday was the last day of my vacation, and today is the first day of my sick leave (I hope it's the last one as well, this quarantine stuff is getting on my nerves.) One more day to spend at home staring at the walls. Yay. A week ago, I made the grave mistake of bragging about never getting sick, so naturally I caught a nasty case of flu right on the next day. Go me. It's not
the flu (H1N1), but the doctor thought it might be some less serious version of it. All I know is that my lungs are filled with phlegm and without boyfriend's asthma medicine I would have been in big trouble during the weekend. Breathing seems to be one of those things you don't really appreciate until it becomes almost impossible. Well, I feel somewhat better now, so yay for not being dead. Or something. Back to work tomorrow, let's see how many customers I can scare to death with my cough of doom.
Other than the flu part, it's been quite a nice vacation. My dear

ranilos came to visit for a few days of entertainment binging and good food. It was so good seeing her, it's been way too long since the last time. ♥ As a result, I now know a lot more about SPN, SGA and Smallville. I think her evil plan was to brainwash me to watch SPN on my own, and to some extent, I think she was successful. I really don't like Sam all that much, but I might consider watching S4 onwards since Castiel is really very cute (don't worry, I'm not going to turn into a misha worshipper or anything, I just like the character
especially with Dean.) Although, I've always had a thing for daddy Wincester, so I might take a peek at the JDM eps in the earlier seasons... Well, we'll see about that.
Talking about fandom, the newest season of House has really made the House/Chase shipper in me very, very happy. I don't know what it is about the pair that draws me, but there's something about these two broken, fucked-up characters that clicks for me in just the right way... But I do hope they don't go through with the alcoholic!Chase scenario (I'm not sure if the writers are planning on it, but I think there's been some hinting along the lines), I really don't want to see him self-destruct in that way.
Ah, one last thing I've been meaning to write about: The winter. I used to love winter, it was my favourite season right after autumn. But I don't know if it's the climate change or just me getting old, but these last few winters I've really started to feel the weight of the darkness on my mind and body. When I was younger, there was at least
snow when it was dark. All that crisp whiteness makes the long nights a lot more bearable, not to mention beautiful. But now that the winters here have become much warmer and wetter, there's just dead ground everywhere and it never gets properly light around here anymore! It's not yet 4pm and it's dark outside already, and what's worse, it's only going to get darker as we get closer to Christmas. I never thought I'd say this but I miss the summer and sunshine. Fuck this
kaamos land, this is not a place suitable for humans to live.
Now, let's see about them dishes.
