At Home - Sick...

I'm at home sick today with a cold. Mme called a little while ago to check on me - I had told her last night I might stay home today. She was very concerned. Did I have a fever? Did I need to go to the doctor - there's a clinic right around the corner. Did she need to come home at lunchtime to check on me? Could I make it tonight if she wasn't home?

No, no, I don't have a fever - it's not that serious. I just don't have the energy to run all over town today in the cold with a stuffy head. It's nice to know someone here is watching out for me. Sometimes you just need a day off to stop worrying about everything. I really want to get out my guitar today, but haven't had the energy yet. I've been watching tv for about an hour at a time and then have to go lie down for awhile. It's been worth it for the commercials though...

There's one that reminds me of that Citibank commercial for identity theft protection - the one where the people don't match the voices. The one here shows a lot of different adults going through their hectic days singing "We Will Rock You" with little kids' voices. It's a commercial for evian - drink evian every day - keeps you feeling young and strong.

The other one showed an American man in a suit and tie standing behind a podium with something resembling the seal of an American government office. It was set up as if it was a news conference so he speaks in English and a voice translates... "It turns out, the nuclear weapons were, in fact, [holds up a picture] grain silos." Are you ready for new glasses?

hahaha!
