Ok, so, I didn't die.

But it sure felt like it for quite some time O.o

I guess I started to feel slightly better this past weekend and the last of my stupid illness is on its way out, thanks to something mom bought. Khan Jang (or whatever the spelling) is a really nasty liquid from a health store, designed to aid people who suffer from colds, fatigue, coughs, etc. Didn't take more than 2 [medium sized] shots before it kicked in. Thank. You. No fun taking it twice a day, though >_<

Seeing how being sick has taken up much of my time in March, not much has happened. At least not compared to what I might've been able to get up to, had I been well.

We had a farewell party for Tobias (I've mentioned him before here) and he made his big move today. Away, that is. Not on me. Sadness. Hrm.

And as if that wasn't heartbreaking enough: the remaining family'll be moving out in June. Sure I can go visit them; the parents welcomed us to drop by any time, but they'll still be a fair ways away. Maybe I could talk to the Brothers online if they're on, though it's a safe bet they'll be glomped up by the new people they meet and have no interest in talking to me. It's not like I can easily have a conversation with them now, what'd change with distance?

So I've engrossed myself with helping out at the house. Dad's realized we're getting really close to moving in and accepts an extra pair of hands more willingly. It's fun stuff. Very distracting.

Experiencing a house growing from the ground up is not something you get to do every day year and I'm trying to absorb as much as possible. It'll be absolutely wonderful to live in, I imagine. Kinks and all :-)


MOLLY, PLEASE LOOK AWAY NOW AS I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT TAXES.

I get almost 5.000 Swedish Kronor in tax-returns this year!!!!! That's quite the leap from thinking I'd have to pay a couple of thousand back XD It'll come in handy with the last of my credit card bills needing to be paid. Especially since finding a job might take a while.


OK MOLLY. YOU CAN LOOK NOW. And if you really want to know what I wrote you can always highlight the above area. But please don't kill me 0:<


I took some bathroom shots yesterday (seriously, the bathroom has the best lighting) and figured I should share it with the lovely people who give so much to me and doesn't get half of it back even though they deserve double the love! But being sick for nearly a month has reduced my cute looks so posting it publicly isn't a compelling thought right now. Maybe I'll randomly PM it to someone, or several someones, and let it spread to mutual friends from there? Or something. Ideas?


I LOVE you all. Very much.

Where's the bawling smiley when you need it?

I was gonna make a quick post saying "Yay for cocaine*", because that's what I call the cough medication I took because of waking up at 7 AM and barely being able to breathe due to incessant dry coughing, but it's already dropping in effectivity - barely 40 minutes after taking it.

So instead you get a: JUZ KEEL ME NOW, kthnxsuxxorbaibai ;_;

Mom's worried it might be pneumonia. We'll see when I get my ass to the ER, most likely wait endless hours and hopefully get to see a doctor that can help me.

...... Somehow the dying option feels more appealing. And realistic in terms of actually happening. Oh, the drama!

Even dad's worried, heh. Ok, I'll stop now >.>


*Actual name [of the drug] is Cocillana-Etyfin.


Edit: 8.15 AM - That's better. It kicked back in. =.=

   Seriously not impressed by my own stupidity....

So I went out the day before yesterday (Wednesday) to give out some more CV's and later in the day noticed that my throat was acting up. When the clock hit midnight and it hadn't improved, but rather worsened, I realized that I'd contracted another cold -.-

Been coughing badly; there's a constant irritation in my throat forcing me to cough more and yesterday it felt like it was bleeding. Sneezing kills the throat even further. Ouchies. Me nose is also pretty stuffy/snotty and makes it harder to breathe.

It's my own fault for rushing things and for rushing out into warm weather with clothes that apparently weren't adequate enough. Boo on me.

   AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa >.>

Ok, so it looks like I'm finally over my flu. It was starting to die down last week but then I caught a cold .... Hurrah for me and my uncooperative body *cheers*

To celebrate getting most of my health back I went to a super market and cheerfully handed in my CV, along with a short letter introducing myself. This was at 10 this morning. I didn't know if they'd even get back to me (since no one has before when I've sent in applications for jobs advertised, hrm) so imagine the shock when they called a couple of minutes ago!

I'm going in tomorrow morning at 10 to talk to a guy and we'll see if anything comes out of it. I have a sneaky suspicion they'll want me to work in the meat section, since I've previous experience and he told me to look for him there, lol. The fact that I'm only looking for part-time work is most likely appealling too. That's usually the time they operate on in the super market business, I've gathered.

There are alternatives to go for, in case it doesn't pan out, but it'd be grand if they could take me in. I'd live close to work and be in a place that suits me. We'll see =)
-----

The house is coming along. I've no idea how far off it is to completion but upstairs is ready to be wallpapered and the only thing not quite done is the bathroom. So as soon as dad's ordered the ceiling-panelling-thingy we're all set to pretty much utilize the upstairs.

Downstairs there's still a lot of wall needing to be put up. Dunno the status on plumbing or electricity but it looks close to being done. I'm trying to help out as much as possible, though dad is sometimes reluctant to allow me XD
Mimmi + Super Tools = scary ;p

We hired a friend to the family, who's a registered painter, to do the putty business (*dies laughing*) and so far he's showered us with perks. Such as helping us get wallpaper, paint, etc a bit cheaper. Plus he does a really good job for a cheap penny.

My only problem is deciding what to put on my walls. At first I was dead set on white/beige but then I got this idea of having a touch of green, barely visible, to accent the furniture more. It'd be nice if I could settle on something worth living with for a couple of years XD;
-----

Moving away from the House, har-har, there's a party/gathering on Saturday. It's kinda of bittersweet because it's a farewell party and it's for a guy I really wanted to get to know better. Remember the Brothers I've raved about? It's Tobias who's moving :-/

As if that wasn't enough, the rest of the family will be moving sometime in June....

Having unofficially adopted them as my second family it's sad to know they won't be around for much longer. But I'm trying not to be too heartbroken. It's not as if I can stop them from leaving anyway, lol. Or no lol. lolling is used here to convince any part of me that wants to be really upset that life goes on.

I'm compiling a collection of anime music to give him, as well as a copy of "Ouran High School Host Club", plus "Around the world in 80 days" [on DVD] from 1956.
He mentioned being interested in seeing that movie and he liked the last cd with music I gave him, so yeah. Ouran is a great remedy for the Blues, in case he gets them.

The last thing I'm including in the "gift-pack" is a card with a message written in German. Initially I didn't plan on it being in that language but it felt right .... somehow. *shrugs*

It's shortly after 3 in the afternoon, I've cooked 2 separate dinners and reckon it's time for a nap.

Remember, just because I fail to respond individually to your comments doesn't mean you're not on my Love-o-Meter. It simply means I'm not quite back to speed yet. The same goes if I've been negligent with commenting on your myO.

Love-Love! :3

   I've been feeling off for about a week or so now but it's only ever lasted a day or so. Yay for being able to sleep away most colds >.>

But come Monday my body couldn't hold off anything. It started nice enough in the morning with me being very optimistic about going job hunting. Got sleepy while printing out some papers to take with me and had a nap. Dreamt I was really sick. So it's no surprise it all went downhill after waking up.

By midnight my throat was hurting bad, head spinning all over the place, etc etc. Tuesday morning = pure agony. Having barely slept at all I moved out into the living room sofa at 7-ish, my stomach begging for a good heave. Managed to drink a glass of nutritional liquid and spent about 2 uncomfortable hours on the couch, sleeping a little, before heading back to bed again. With the stomach still aching to hurl I tried to get together some sort of breakfast around noon but failed miserably, having to lie down on the floor wishing I would just pass out.

Quickly scrambled myself together, threw whatever I took out of the fridge back in and scampered off to my bed. Laid absolutely still for a while before attempting breakfast again. Mixed together another nutritional drink with the speed of light and shakily nibbled on one slice of toast. Congratulating myself on that amazing feat I tried to use the computer. Didn't go very well.

Off to bed again, where I remained until Mom came home around 1.30PM and by then I was a bit more alive. Translation: I was running such a high fever that my brain couldn't care to register how sick I was :p

Slept away most of the day, managing to eat 2 whole slices of toast later in the evening. w00t.


Today - at 3 in the afternoon - I'm starting to feel slightly better. Throat doesn't hurt as much, nose in less pain and my head is spinning more slowly. Appetite seems to be coming back. Slightly. The body isn't aching too badly, either.

I might have to take it just as easy tomorrow as well for it to die down even quicker but I'm [fully aware that I should be] really thankful my version of the flu isn't as horrible as others. That's something to be glad about *nods*


.... My neighbour's alarm just went off.... Ok, bye bye.

   I am the Muffin Man!

Shaow: *snores* I hope you're doing ok :3

Slick: >____> Not tooooo good, but not bad either. I need more =.=

Panda: Taco Party! *does the taco dance*

Schultz: O.o I am afraid to hear it. So we'll leave it there >.> But thanks anyway, lol.

---

Well, I'm still really tired. It's a combination of not sleeping enough (d'oh), a minor cold and energy-draining pms. That's what one gets for ditching the afternoon naps!

"Night at the Museum" was pretty good. I'd expected it to be slightly more funny but in the words of Shrek: "It'll do". Steeve Coogan's appearance totally cracked me up, even more so because I had no clue he was in the movie XD

Not sitting next to Juliette (younger sister) felt odd. I'm so used to having her nearby and trade weirdness back and forth, haha. I wasn't complaining, though, since one of the Brothers (Tobias) I'm überly fond of sat to my left :p

After the movie finished we all got into the available cars and headed to The Brother's place. Their parents had been gone all day to help another of their kids (the eldest Brother) to move out of his apartment, and they just arrived when we did. So we pitched in by carrying some boxes! Once that was done we started on the tacos. Well, most of us. Not everyone could fit into the kitchen.

(The two cats roamed around pretty much constantly, hoping that someone would drop a delicious treat XD Instead they were petted to death >:D)

There were lots of conversation going on, both during and after dinner, and it was great fun listening in as well as joining some chats. One of the highlights of the evening had little to do with talking, though. The parents granted everyone the honour and pleasure of roaming through their family albums and they are filled with the most candid, wonderful, cute/funny pictures of the whole family.

Juliette and I decided we were adopting the Dad, because he's just that awesome XD

As the night began to settle it became time to head on home. However, I was this <-> close to asking if I could spend the night on the sofa XD!!!! Being around them is that great, haha. The poor parents sorely needed some snooze so I didn't >.>

One of the boys in the gang (lol) was nice enough to drive both myself and my sisters home. We all chimed in in agreement that he needs to be rewarded with something since he's always so nice to everyone. Good deeds must be returned!


Yeah, that was pretty much it. I had a blast (as always with these people) and fell more in love with that sweet amily ^_^

It's a wonderful feeling to sit down at the computer at 1AM and feel absolutely content; like you're already asleep dreaming the most fantastic dream :-)

Had a great evening with a group of 13 "adult kids" (age group 20-30ish) that included watching a movie ("A night at the Museum") and tacos! Lots of smiles, even more laughter.

Now it's late and I really need to sleep so commentary comments, elaborations, etc will be done later *blows kisses*

   It's a long way to Tipperary, it's a long way to go

Lob Lover (Alexa): Ditto * the radius of the sun! It doesn't matter what you say (or don't say!) I always feel happy to see your highlighted name and eagerly rush over to rejoice with or comfort you :3

Ready the cannons! Mwuahahahahahaha!

Slick: Right on, my man. Right on. It's just a shame that - while highly entertaining and interesting to follow - the events unfolding are so incredibly saddening. I'm hoping there'll be plenty of positive happenings that'll outweigh that, though :D

MC: ^___^ While I had no intention of making the place pink I'm not too unhappy about the results. The Superman logo is so much fun! And it applies to not only Adam but also our President Hero *nods to Slick* :D

John: John <3

Schultz: Le gasp! .... Well, it's no rush :-) You take double care of yourself, too!

Shaow: _^_ Thank yoo for the compliments! Just remember that I think highly of you, too, and it feels really special to have such nice things said to me from a gal who's even more wonderful :3

Becksy: Toight *giggles* But yes! We're here, be it for each other or the community itself. Which we are part of so it's all the same XD;

I'd poke you about posting more on myO but you're spoiling me already with Catalyst updates *purrs*

Slick: You're the Original Super Hero, now dubbed President Super Hero! It's no wonder you take a liking to the symbol that reminds us all of the loving protection/reassurance you provide ~_^

---

I've been filling my days up with stuff to do (cooking, reading, cleaning, etc etc ad nauseum) to the point where I've not been able to nap! Man, having a life requires a lot of energy XD

Next Friday I'll be meeting up with the people in charge of putting me back into a work-situation and so that'll be interesting. This time around there won't be any preconcieved notions on my part that everyone's on the same page just because they have the information they need (le d'oh). It doesn't matter if things'll be repeated 10 times over, as long as it goes out properly to those concerned/involved. I've learnt my lesson and can see straight. Now it's time they do, too! :p

Speaking of vision..... my glasses broke almost a week ago. Not the glass itself but the plastic thing that allows you to balance them on your ears. It's happened once before (with the opposite end) and I'm tired - in general - of my current specs, so off to the optician my feet trotted today.

A nice young lady took care of the examination, which went quite speedily, and - unless I'm mistaken - it seems that my sight hasn't changed since the last check-up (which would've been well over 2 years ago). A call to the previous optician should shed some light on that, seeing as I'm not 100% sure but 100% curious to know XD

They had some special offer (buy 2 for 1 type of deal) so after trying on about 100 different varieties I ended up ordering 2 sets of glasses. One pair where the frames don't go around the glasses + one pair where they do. (Hurrah for my explanation prowess!) Now all that's left to do is wait 1-2 weeks for them to get here. If it turns out to be closer to 2 weeks I'll make sure to be grumpy about it >.>

What's so good about buying 2 pairs in one go is that, in case I sit on my glasses again, I'll always have an equal back-up pair and won't have to go through feeling drained from straining to see (it's quite unnerving not being able to keep proper eye contact).

In case anyone's interesting - and assuming the numbers are universal - I've got -0.75 on both eyes. Then there's some numbers I don't quite get XD; Or more accurately, don't know how to explain.

No lenses for me! Poking = no-no. I am Big Wuss :3

In lieu of recent happenings (read the news on theOtaku frontpage for more details) I decided to redecorate a bit to show my support for Adam. It's really heartbreaking to hear what he - and all the other lovely people who came through for the cause - had to/still endure. I truly hope there will be some good closure on this chapter.

Consider this my hug to you, Adam :-)

---

Shanny-Boo: I missed checking out your gorgeous layout and catching up on what happened in your life :3

And, uh, the writing is resting. It's not writers block (!) but I need to decide how much or little to put into the story. *pauses* Isn't that what I said last time? XD;

Schultz: Where are the kimono pictures? *coughs subtly*

Becks: ^____^ Sorry for making you worry, though it melts my heart to know you guys have my back even when I'm not around *snuggles*

Hope: *laughs* Welcome back to you too! Absences always throw you a bit out of the loop but I hope you don't have any troubles jumping into it again ^_^

Leasome: *giggles and glomps* I miss reading stuffs from you. You know you're always welcome to borrow my shoulder for whatever you wish to put on it :-)

Shaow: Rawr! *attacks with hugs* It's great to see that you're around, too. This place isn't the same when everyone's not here :3

I got my computer back yesterday :)

Sadly I had to get a new monitor since the old one got fried due to a frazzle with the computer's monitor-card. There's probably a more technical word for it, or even a fancier way to describe it, but whatever >.>

Managed to spruce up the old "Send in the Clowns" story during my downtime. Juliette's been giving me lots of nudging about finishing it, lol. I didn't remember it as fantastic but it does turn out there's some potential there, haha. The opening paragraph barely needed any work, which surprised me immensely O_O

Not too much new has been added but I've planned out most of the end. Now it's just a matter of weighing how much to put in to balance things out while not going overboard/being cheap. Tricky!


So, what have I missed around here? *awaits barrage of news*
