Sick boyfriend

Hi everyone,

I'm so happy that it is weekend now. What is even better??? I don't have to work for 2 weeks now. It's Easter Holidays and the kids are off from school. So we, the teachers, are having the time off too. I don't have real plans for this holiday. Just relax, do some scrapbooking, knitting, watching DVD's, .... Just enjoying live.

Eric is having the flu since Monday. It was better during the week but now it got worse again. He has his own pub so he can't close the pub to stay in bed. I guess that's why the flu is getting worse. I worked at his pub yesterday evening because he felt terrible. Right now, he's working again but this evening he will stay at home. It will be the first time in months that we are together at home on a Saturday evening. Well, I guess he will sleep the whole evening, but at least he's here with me.

Just finished baking some cookies. It has been ages since I last baked cookies. Normally I bake cake of muffins. The cookies will have two layers and between them there will be raspberry jam. I hope they turn out good. I'll let you know.

My running is going fine. I finished lesson 6 last Thursday. Right now I have two days off from running and I need to take lesson 7 on Sunday.

Enjoy your weekend.

ps: the LO on top is another one from Thailand.

Spring again

Here are some pages of my Thailand album. I made them 2 weeks ago but didn't find the time to download them on my pc.


Spring is in the air again!! We are having fanatstic weather for about 3 days now. The temperature is around 18°C. When I came home from work yesterday, I changed my clothes and started running. I did lesson 5 this time and it's getting better. I sweat a lot while I run but I guess that's me burning calories, haha. I could run in a t-shirt with short sleeves. It felt like heaven.

This afternoon I worked in the garden (cut the grass, don't know the word in English). I cleaned the stairs in the house too. The windows are open in the bedrooms to let the spring air inside. After running yesterday evening, I started cleaning the upstairs (bathroom, bedrooms). I guess I have spring cleaning spirit!

Last night was a bad night for my head again. It was so painful. I went to bed at 9 pm and normally I go to sleep at 11 pm. I hope there is nothing wrong with me. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to teaching fulltime again.

It's hard to work fulltime and then start cleaning the house, preparing lunch for the next day, prepare dinner, ... I don't have time to scrap anymore . I'm used to scrap every day so that's a huge change for me. Well, I love teaching so I don't mind working fulltime again. It's only for 1,5 week and then it's my normal schedule again.

Strange weather

* Sunday*

I planned to start running today. Yeah, a friend told me that she started running with a podcast on iPod. It's called 'start to run' and they promis that you can run 5 km at the end of all the trainings. Hmmm, I'm curious about that. I should sport more so I thought it would be nice to start running as it doesn't cost much. All I need is my sport shoes and sporting clothes. Oops, can't forget my iPod either. The iPod will tell me when to run and when to walk. Meanwhile there is music so it's a nice way of running. I'll let you know if I liked it. If it stops raining, I'm off to do some sports.

* Monday*

The past days have been great. Well, at least the weather was, haha. The sun was out. I could wear a light jacket instead of my winter coat. Enjoyable temperatures. Spring was in the air.
You can see how the weather was if you look at the pic on top. It has been taken in my garden.

When I woke up this morning I saw SNOW!!! Yes, indeed, real snow!!! Can you believe that??? I want those spring days again. Now it's cold and it rains every now and then. I hate that weather and above all that I feel sick. Yesterday evening, my head was really painful and I felt like throwing up (but I didn't). I went to bed at 8.30 pm. It was better this morning but now (at 3 pm) my head starts to hurt again. Hope it won't be like yesterday.

My first 'start to run' training went fine. It's great to run with my iPod and that podcast telling me when to run and when to walk. The first day I had to train for 18 min. It will be more tomorrow. I had to rest for one day so tomorrow is another training day. After running I took a shower and I felt so relaxed. I hope to continue with that programm. At least when I feel better tomorrow.

I guess I'll rest a bit in the sofa. Maybe if I sleep a bit, I will feel better.
Enjoy your Monday, hope you feel better than I do.
