Things to do when you are ill

Maybe the database will not allow the long title, maybe it will. As the last entry described I am feeling a bit under the weather. Having pain in the throat while swallowing and fever is not a great thing if you try to sleep.

Thought I would share things to do while being ill. Here what I have done;

  • Watched movies
  • Read comics
  • Played games
  • Edited photos

Yeah, these entries can be written when you are feeling like a Russian wrestler.

Not well

Felt some slight pain in my throat yesterday. This night it was really irritating, could not sleep well at all, this means I am a bit ill. Therefor I started the morning with a hot cup of tea to get better but I guess it will take some time to get well.

Hopefully I get a bit better before lunch, which will make me able to climb some today. If not, I will be in bed reading Absolute Dark Knight while eating some lion bars. I am waiting for the Green Lantern: Corps novels to be in stock in hardcover format.

Watched Inception last week as well. It is going to be a modern classic and lived up to all of my high expectations. It was a movie that put you on edge and your mind to work. Have to say that the ending was everything.

Admiration

I just wrote some lines about all the people I admire, all the things I admire that has changed the world. About the Hale-Bopp comet and more. Then I decided to delete it. I decided it would be a long list of people to admire. It would be a long list of achievements to admire. As I could not let anyone be unmentioned in this entry I decided to just say that I admire all people for various things they do and do not do.

It is now time to do some things I do not fancy doing but just have to do, want to do. Want to do for someone else.

“Do something every day that you don’t want to do; this is the golden rule for acquiring the habit of doing your duty without pain.” -Mark Twain

Thrilled to see Inception tonight. Seeing it with my favorite as well. I think it will be really nice. I have heard good things about the movie and just wishing it is as good as I hope it is. As I am pretty fond of Nolan’s movies I hope this one is as good as, say The Prestige.

A lot of things to do, a lot of things to remember. Have to write this up and do some chores before the movie.

Money losing hobby

My mind is racing. I am thinking, feeling..

“I am going to climb today, I am going to climb today, I am going to climb today…”

The rain has been falling all morning and I am still convinced that the cliff will dry up so I can get out later on. Otherwise I will have to find someone with the key to the indoors facility. This Tuesday I went out climbing with a man who was going to Norway to climb and needed some practice. I tested out some trad climbing which is quite fun. It requires some more focus, feel and gear. I am now a little bit onto that train and would like to continue with that part of climbing although it is a bit less safe than sport climbing and bouldering. It is unfortunately also a bit more expensive as you require a lot more gear.

Also, my climbing partner has moved to Gothenburg. We had some climbing gear like rope and crashpad together. Now we are going to split them and calculate values and such to get it as fair as possible. But as one of us has to get a new rope or pay the other it will cost some more money there as well. This hobby is quite expensive. If I count in that I have to get a new car to continue climbing it will be another hole in the pocket.

Heat

Thank you, Spotify! Finally they have developed a Linux version of their client. It is a preview version that unfortunately does not have support local files nor available for others than premium subscribers but it is a Linux version! Spotify has written about it on their blog.

Last couple of days have been hot, much too hot. Nowhere to hide. Therefor decided to stay in the kitchen, bake bread and cookies. Might have resulted in an even warmer apartment but the bread and cookies are really tasty. I heard it was rainy in Gothenburg as it was here in the morning but I would still love if we got a bit more rain to get the temperature down. Just as I wrote this I heard some rumbling at a distance. Thunder is coming from Denmark, they had over 40.000 hits of lightning.. ..and here comes the rain! It is pouring down now, thank you! And some say weather is boring. Ha!

Right now I am staying indoors taking a break from MySQL to eat lunch. As I have a few assignments left I have to pick up the speed in solving these tasks. Unfortunately my modem went dead so I do not have access to Internet as I am writing this. Hopefully this will make me work even better with the assignments.
