A successful day

[wiseheart]

After almost three weeks, this morning I actually managed to write something. Not much just a couple of paragraphs, but I pushed a bit forward my Torchwood/Primeval/Sherlock crossover fic. Yay!

I also managed to buy our Christmas tree - a tiny little one not bigger than a metre or so, but at least a real one. We might have to switch to an artificial tree next year because the real ones are getting more and more outrageously expensive each year, but not this Christmas. Not yet.

My cough has got considerably worse (not that I'd consider that a success) because, idiot that I am, I jumped out from under the shower to answer the phone. The caller felt like talking... about 10 minutes, and for some reason I didn't tell her that I'd call back later. Don't ask me why - we've already established that I'm an idiot, right?

And I've just got the automated message that Dan Vasc liked the comments I left to various of his videos on YouTube. Wow! I guess he doesn't often get crazy old ladies commenting his stuff. *g* I'm feeling all fangirl-ish - when I find the time between two coughing attacks.

Oh, and meathiel, I haven't forgotten the recipe. I'll translate it soon, I promise.

Oh no, your poor cough! I hope you're going to get better soon, but damn, it sucks that this phone call made you so much worse. We all make bad decisions being polite :(

Good on you for getting some writing done!

It was our choir leader who had planned that wonderful surprise for me yesterday and wanted to know how it turned out since she'd been very ill for days. I didn't have the heart to shake her off.

Ah well, at least you had a good reason.

Yay for writing and Christmas tree!

Hope you get better soon.

So do I, to be honest. I've been coughing for three weeks by now, and the worse is just coming? Oh, dear...

Hope your cough soon improves.

I keep debating real tree or not--so far we've stuck with real because of the wonderful smell, and we can recycle in our bird habitat "woodpile". Artificial would definitely be easier though. People here put their trees up very early, so by today they're being sold at a discount. When I was a child the tree went up Christmas Eve, but over the years I've grudgingly accepted the fact that Peter puts it up a few days early :)

I hope you start to feel better so that the holiday can be more relaxing for you.

Oh, it does... in a way. I cough a lot more now than before. Plus, now Mum is coughing, too. Not really surprising, of course, as I can't make her dress warmly enough, but not a good thing nevertheless.

No problem, we won't bake any more cookies this year anyway.

Hope you feel better soon.

We still put it up on Christmas Eve - save for one year when we were a day early. But on the closed yet unheated balcony we usually keep it well into February; sometimes we joke that the Easter Bunny would build its nest in the branches of our Christmas tree. *g*

Yeah, but I still want you to have it. I Just feel like shit at the moment. *coughs*
