I feel very pleased to be here again today. I've been spending a profitable evening translating a doctor's statement for an insurance company, something I've never had the occasion to translate before. I'd like to get more medical texts to translate, because it's more interesting to me than economics, and I also feel the need is greater than ( Read more... )

   I've recovered a bit, but man, this was a weekend to remember. I got sick during the night between Saturday and Sunday, with a high temperature, aigue, and fever cramps, not to speak of an asthma attack that made me throw up. I've been having a bit of a fever ever since, but today I finally felt well enough to get outside and go to the library. ( Read more... )

There's not much to write about today, really. I've been coughing a bit and resting a lot. The move was re-scheduled to Monday, so I'll probably be in a better shape by then, and more able to do my bit. I have been knitting, and I just finished one more sock. After I knit the next one, I'm going to start on the shawl. I debated knitting a vest ( Read more... )

   I just woke up to the fact that all my bookmarks (and I had lots of them) went down with the ship that was my former laptop, and among them was the link to the 5000 questions survey. Luckily I found the same survey (at least I think it's the same, because I've answered the questions before), and it seems that there are really 5000 questions on ( Read more... )

   So, yesterday evening, I was chewing bubble-gum, and the filling on my left front tooth fell out. It was an accident waiting to happen, and I've been expecting it to happen for at least a week. This was obviously not a good thing as such, but it does mean that I'm considered an emergency case in our dental care system (the affordable one, which ( Read more... )

   Well, now I've finished two pairs of baby socks, and they turned out very cute. I still haven't pulled in all the threads, and I think that's a job for another day, because my hands are tired from all the knitting with minuscule needles. Since I haven't done much else except knit, it's just as well that it's Tuesday, and I've got my work cut out ( Read more... )

...and I am, although it's quite late. Also, I'm a bit impatient, because I want to start watching the seventh season of House, which I bought today. I spent the evening with a friend, talking, eating ice cream and fruit salad, and drinking tea, and we also went to the library. I found some books, the DVD Mutiny on the Bounty starring Marlon Brando ( Read more... )

   I seem to be in a very pondering mood lately. I have lots of spare time, obviously, and I'm reading all kinds of books, and watching all kinds of series, and talking to all kinds of people, all of which is nothing new, but it seems to affect me more than usual these days. Maybe I should check my horoscope again;)? Anyway, the thing weighing on ( Read more... )

   I went to buy a birthday present for the two year old boy whose birtday I missed on Sunday. I'm meeting him and his family tomorrow for a trip to an island outside Helsinki, and my cousin is coming too, with her baby. It will be interesting to go there together, I've never been there with this particular bunch of people. I hope the weather keeps ( Read more... )

   I seem to have a recurring mood lately: tired:). Today I'm over the moon for a number of reasons, so I don't mind being tired so much. First of all, I went on a daytrip with two of my friends, one of whom I last saw before Christmas. They wanted to give me an experience as a graduation gift, and something has always come in the way of our going ( Read more... )
