Different Worlds Apart

Last night they said that a cold front with heavy snow is rolling in from the west and that we should expect heavy snow fall between 6 and 7 AM this morning. Usually when we hear this we laugh, most of the snow gets melted anyway due to the warmer climate in our neck of the woods, esp. when the weather is coming from the West from the Atlantic ocean and the Bay of Biscay. If it is Easterly weather with the cold from Russia, then we get nervous but Westerly weather? HA! HA! HA!

Well, judging from the flurries of snow flakes tumbling like mad ever which way outside my window that weather forecast has been right, and the snow even sticks!!! Well I don't care if I get snowed in here but His Hubbiness™ is at work and needs to drive back about 50 kilometres this afternoon :(

As you might know Germany is not the best of places to be a lover of J/K pop and rock. The best of times you are seen as mildly eccentric musicwise and most of the times you are simply crazy or just want to be different at all costs.
Anyway, imagine my big ass grin when I drove in the car with some friends who had all insisted that I do NOT play my CD of Korean and Japanese pop while I was driving - in my car. So I switched to radio and lo and behold they played Oppa Gangnam Style :P

Take that bitches!!! :D


ETA: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, LJ??? WTF??!! Now you simply jump to the single entry instead of giving me the option to few ALL entries in my own damn journal. And that new entry thingymegig also is stupid :(

Autumn gales have started late last night and while we have glorious blue skies where tufts of clouds chase each other, the wind is a killer. Even in the sun, it is cold as the wind chills a body well into the bones. Our small little farm house is groaning and creaking in the eaves as the storms hit it with full force.

From late last night 'til now, I have been writing the worst, most difficult scene I have written so far in all my life, typing out words, reading them, deleting them, typing words again, deleting these in turn as well. This scene was difficult to write as I wanted to have some sort of consolation but not with BIG emotions and confessions of love following it. It was either too sappy, the heroine too teary-eyed or the hero just coming off as a crazy stalker who pressures my heroine into liking him. Hopefully I have found a middle ground now where I could resolve some issues but leave them at a strained kind of impasse leading up to the smut scene and the following fall out between the two (hey they are shooting a kdrama after all LOL).

Never in my life have I taken my writing so seriously like this year. I know I'm not an outstanding writer, I have learnt early on in my studies that I will never write the great English novel of the 21st century nor will I ever make any money from my writing, but this time around I have noticed that this is not just a pleasant past time but that I want to create something genuine, something others will enjoy as well. Not because they are friends or share the fandom but because they love drama and romance and enjoy reading a good story. So I try to make this the best I can. Hwaiting!

Don't forget to sign up for the Christmas Card Drabble here I will start to write tomorrow ... so look out for sage green envelopes in your mailboxes soon :)

Hallelujah!!!! I'm back home ... filled up to the lilt with painkillers. :) I can fly ... wohoo!!!

LOL

Anyway, thnak you for all the good get well wishes. My throat is still achy but atm it doesn't seem that there will be any bleedings, yet I have to be careful and take care of myself for another two weeks before every thing is back in order.

When I went up here I noticed that those ten steps really make me weak, I'm as weak as a babe LOL
I guess I will go to bed and take a nap now. Nightie night :)

Managed to a) find a pc at the hospital, b) got an account and c)onto the long waiting list. YAY!
I'm fine ... not feeling too chipper in the throat department - feels like an alien tried to claw its way out through my throat - and eating, drinking, and of course swallowing in general feel like hell and back again. Lost 4 kilos since Thursday. I hope I can eat normally again, in about a week.

Thursday next week I will be undergoing surgery because my tonsils are huge. For the past two months I had some sort of sore throat but my tonsils didn't feel achy or anything so I went to the doc on Monday and he immediately sent me to the hospital. So while I will be boring myself to dementia in a week for a week (I need to stay in hospital for five long days) think of me while you can.

I hate going into the hospital, esp. when I have to undergo surgery ... I have this very strange and illogical (for me anyway) scare of dying while under anaesthetic. Blegh!!!

My mother in law will be staying here while I'm in the hospital, so everything will be running smoothly. Thank goodness for small favours :)

Argh, I hate hospitals!!! :s Shitty stupid tonsils!

Even though I do not participate in the whole religious shebang that surrounds Easter (I was born Roman-Catholic, enough said), this Easter was fully packed with cooking, visiting, entertaining, being entertained and cooling my right hand because of burns.

But first things first. On Thursday night, when I was preparing dinner I burnt my right hand with hot burning oil. Instant vesicles :( But I got some good salve at home and during the night the pain also subsided. Then on Good Friday we were invited, so no serious cooking for me though I had volunteered for dessert. Saturday my mom in law came to visit us and I baked a cake and in the evening a whole chicken for four (a friend came by and was instantly invited as well). Sunday we had brunch at our home and I had to bake bread, make a potatoe salad and other stuff. Monday ... a little brunch for two friends with kosher cooking.

Soooo .. even though I didn't do the family thing, we had a fully packed Easter and right now, this very minute, is the first time I sit in front of the computer and have some time to myself all alone (well, alone being relative as three dogs surround my computer in various states of reclining, dozing and sleeping). I think I will take a nap after I have stored away the grocery stuff. I need a break from the past few days :)

Have been working in the garden yesterday all day that I forgot it's Spring Equinox already!! We have the most amazing (and most welcomed) sunshine for the last two days and it looks like we will have some more today. The ground is still wet and cold but working in the sun already works up a wee bit of sweat and it is just wonderful to feel the sun on one's back and neck while weeding and getting the hedge cuttings. My strawberry seedlings have grown so strong that I think they can go into the ground now - I just need to remind myself to cover them up during the night.
