Friday, forecast: weekend at home
So its Friday. Good. Mr Cough still didnt find his way back, where he came from. I enjoy watching myself being weak and useless. Wow, November sadness, tell ya. Since it is difficult to completely do nothing at all, I surfed the internet. Found some really nice TED talks, I enjoyed watching. And I had time to edit some details in my blog. Just tiny things, but well, ya, nice. I edited the November Feature page today.

Sunday Nov 25th 2012
Finally the Mr C arrived heavily. Mr Coughing is my visitor now and I must state that I really do not like his visit. The syrup I bought is really disgusting and so I hope it is a good medicine though.
But on the other hand: I just watched a movie named The film of your life (Der Film deines Lebens). I think it was a german film. And I ask myself all the time: what is it that my body/ my health wants to tell me? And dont say: well sometimes your body is weak. Because: who makes your body weak? You! Sure, in my case - me. :) Hmm and then again on the other side: when you got infected, what can you do? Well, I really think I can treat myself better than now.
I am thinking about Friday night, when I went to the music school and asked for the prices of the classes. Chamber choir. Ya know. Awww, how I miss it. *lalala* Eh, oops, ja, sorry voice! I know. I'll ask later again. And now that I got that cough I feel such a self pity, that it is really hard to listen to myself. Gee. Ok, what potential do we have: cover myself better in the cold, dry my hair completely in the morning before leaving the house, finally quit smoking (when I arrived in Maastricht I thought I did-but it got me back), sleep even more, do a little more sport (eh? do even some sport), go to the music school (and you will see, that smoking doesnt treat your voice good even if its in small doses), diet: can still include more fruits and veggies...So? There is a lot that I can change. Nice. Ok. Step by step. :)
...oh yeah, gimme something nice, please. Visit PostSecret.

So I went to work on Friday. Even had a proper drink Friday night and enjoyed the walk home through the Friday night.
I slept better than I expected (without the pain and fever reducer). And now I enjoy a hot coffee. That is a good feeling to slurp that hot liquid and feeling it running down the throat. :D
...and now I know: I am back from grocery shopping. When I wanted to ask, if the shop had candles there just came out a sound of - eh - nothing. No voice available. Please talk again later. Oops. Next shop - no answers necessary. Want the receipt? *nodding* Have a nice weekend! *asmileback*
I bought two nets of lemons. And something that looks like a syrup for caughing smiled at me as well. Lets see if its any good. Come back, baby come back (my voice)...

Sick at home
Decided to leave work early because I had some headaches and my bones are aching as well. The surest sign of having a cold besides that is the pain in my ears. Autsch! Crawled on my couch, let a movie play, fell asleep and felt cold all the time. Oh my goodness. I dont want that. I will deffo stay at home tomorrow. Can someone please come over and sing the soft kitty song?

Good morning!!! Some quotes for the new week:

― Mahatma Gandhi
“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
― Virginia Woolf

I'd rather crawl back under my warm blanket into my bed, but, well...I can do that soon. Vacation coming soon. And see! The quotes. In order to find peace...So I better go out and get it. May it be as it is. :)
...Thanks to one of my local friends I finally can state that I ate a Frikandel (currysauce and mayonese) and Friet with Zuurvlees. Thank you for that experience!

• Relaxed Sunday Nov 18th 2012
Last peep on my watch: 6:00 am. Wow, long night out. So what happend:
- Fashion show (my friend looked amazing),
- Café Rambler (got to know two guys and a girl from Maastricht),
- John Mullins bar, a cool band playing but too crowded for me. Met some local friends.,
- dancing in fm bar. My local friends, that I met in Mullins were also there. And I met two new friends from Maastricht, that I got to know in the Rambler. And
- dancing in the Alla. Whoop whoop! On the way back to my bicycle I took of my heels and walked barefooted (well, these fine stockings are no real socks, right?) through the streets. A bit wet on the street but it still felt better than the stupid pain wearing those heels. When I unlocked my bike, I hung the shoes left and right side on the rod and also cycled barefooted home. What a night. Awesome. Successful: danced a lot, even with stupid shoes.
...Finally a chill out day. Slept like a king. No alert. No nothing. Awesome. *aaaaaw*
... I prepared another time visit back to Fort Worth in November Feature. November Feature is in the upper left corner of the blog. You can also click there. Enjoy.
Movie: der Film deines Lebens.
Dont forget: postsecret day

With Emma back home
Again chose to go with Emma to work and back home. On the way home three nice situations that kept my attention:
1. a smell in a small street with old houses: it smelled like old books, like in an old house or in an attic
2. a young man on the streets in town with his open guitar case playing Halleluja (known from Leonard Cohen) and
3. another smell this time it was like fresh smoked ham *nomnom*.
Yeah. Small things that can take you away and make you feel good. Awesome.

Saturday - View back on this week
Something interesting this week?
Monday: waking up having freaking neck pain.
Tuesday: still having freaking neck pain. This time in the morning I took two of the magic medicine everybody knows in NL... *rofl*
Wednesday: middle neck pain, getting the flu vaccination.
Thursday: wow, wondering abou the fact that I ve not been out after work until now. Visited my fav bar in town and met some friends there, for sure.
Friday: fair hangover, no headaches, still a little neck freak out. Meet people from work after work. Went to town and had a nice Friday night. Met a friend, that just got seperated from her boyfriend. Awww. What can you do? We decided to dance and hug each other.
Saturday: sleep day. Awesome. Invited to two birthday parties. A friend coming over to town and well, not really motivated until now (7:30pm).
Any Music? Well, I remember that I wanted to know the name of the song that sounded familiar to me, when I heard it in the bar. Its this one: Spanish Harlem
I finally went grocery shopping. No vodka sold in supermarkets? Hmm, ok. Plan B. Fruit liquor instead. 4 packages Jelly. Usually for 4x 0.5L. Used 1L water and 0.75L fruit liquor. Yummie.
Hmmm, I need a trick to let it cool down immediately: Jelly with red fruit flavor...
...for adults only :D .
Decided to go dancing to town and bring the Jelly to the party afterwards, hoping it will cool down and become solid during that time.
First destination: Stadscafe de Joie. First birthday party. A friend from work. Not much going on right then, so went on to
2nd destination: Café Clinique. Nice music. A drink and some dancing without much movement, very crowded there. Staying about an hour over there.
So back to Stadscafé de Joie. Bit more going on now here. People dancing? Yes, a few. Lets stay and make them dance :D Time is passing and it will be time soon to leave, because my friend has a soccer game to play on Sunday. So he better gets some sleep. We finally decided to go. But when we passed Edd's Café we've seen people dancing inside and since he said, he has never been in there we went inside and danced another few songs. Nice. Then home and down to the 2nd birthday party bringing the Jelly as present and a poem :D (he went home, I am not causing somebodys insomnia)

Sunday - Weeks grand finale
Good and relaxed Sunday morning, even with nice breakfast and *tadaaa* eggs for breakfast. Awww, life is good. My neck is hurting a bit, but who knows. Maybe just slept bad.
... Coffee and a beer in town and then home zone time. Me, my couch and my woolen blankets, that were knitted and crochet by my mom. Comfy.
And this weeks grand finale is a self cooked meal including:
Sauce:
- fresh onion pieces, fresh garlic pieces, coriander (was frozen as whole plant, cut into pieces as well), tomatopaste, Harissa paste, salt, black pepper, dried chili flakes.
Pasta:
- spaghetti.
Took some spaghetti and put cheese on it (gouda) and let the cheese melt. Then put the sauce on it. Et voilá! Om nom om. :D
My good night song:
Shame on me...nearly forgot postsecret.
...done.

Saturday - Workday and Cinema
Have to work today from eight until two. Arrrr. Early bird, he? Well, ok. My choice - no complaints. Decided to get some groceries on the way to work and so I did. Bought rolls and cheese and ham and some salads and butter. And then went through the slight rain to the office. Its been a quiet and effective working day. We all enjoyed the food.
...Then finally home. Nap time. No plans for the night. Would be comfy to stay at home relaxing as well.
...Found a friend that went to the movies with me. Cool. First we took Manhattan, then we took Berlin...eh, nope, another story, sorry. *kidding* *sing* First we had a snack cooked by a chinese and enjoyed chit chatting. Then had to decide what movie to watch. Since my friend somehow has an aversion to movies, that I have already seen, we finally decided for The Paperboy. Strange, but also crazy film, that made us laugh and sometimes being serious as well. So we successfully made the Saturday night working. :)
