Monday - sickness

Oh what a feeling :(

I caught a stomach flue and I'm throwing up a bit too much. Last Thursday my youngest had to stay home from pre-school due to this same illness, and my oldest daughter threw up while staying overnight with my sister. And now I have this awful, annoying but luckily passing condition.

On Saturday we were in Helsinki to celebrate my Mother's Birthday. We had a very delicious meal at MammaRosa, we all enjoyed ourselves. From there we drove to my parents house and had a cup of tea, and later I worked a bit with my father with some bookkeeping. The kids had the opportunity to stay overnight with my sister, they went to see a movie and had enjoyed theirselves. On Sunday they were supposed to go slalom-skiing, but it was way to cold so instead they messed about in Hämeenlinna at HopLop. By the time they arrived at home, they were sooooo tired that they just lay about for the rest of the evening.

So this morning has been nauseous, normally I would not use powerful words such as love or hate, but in this case I truly hate throwing up. I feel so drained up, and I don't have the energy to do anything else but to stay in bed, but not feel sorry for myself :)

We lost our nerves with Canal Digital today, they tried to trick us to pay extra, so we changed our satellite-dish deliverer to Viasat, and got double the channels and it cost the same. When will we have time to watch these channels, that's another issue.

My hands are feeling much better now that it's colder, but my walking is still shorter day by day. The more I walk, the shorter the distance is. Maybe I should start to think about a wheelchair, the walking aid is not enough anymore. I have to stop every few minutes, and the journey just gets prolonged. But if I sit in a wheelchair, maybe then I would enjoy a trip to the store for example. My lips are all filled with bitemarks as I bite my lip with every step, what could I bite instead?

Tomorrow is the birthday of Ellen DeGeneres - Happy Birthday :)
We have been watching the show ever since it started to air in Finland - Valentines Day last year. She is a caring big-hearted woman, from whom I am inspired to stay positive and always find the good side of things. So Ellen, if you read this - Thank You! (As if it would be possible for her to find this page amongst millions and millions of pages, but you never know --> a good example of positive thinking...)

Now I have to tuck myself to bed again and hope that when I wake up I'd feel alot better.
