One Good thing to come from a few days at home. |
For the last week I have struggled with a virus/cold/flu
type thing. It’s OK, we all get sick but
I always recover pretty quickly. This time
however it is dragging. I have had
nearly a week off work (nobody likes an office martyr) and on the days I did go
to work, I was sent home again.
So, I had no choice but to languish on the couch watching TV
and surfing the net.
There are a few rules in our house about being sick.
·
We all understand that you may be feeling unwell
– but don’t whine about it constantly
·
Get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids
·
The person who is unwell should not be involved
in food preparation (Frustratingly, this one doesn’t seem to apply to me though)
·
And the new one to add to the list – Never give
a bored, sick person access to a credit card.
As I was lounging on the couch I started browsing wool
sites. This is nothing new, I do it all
the time and my favourite seller had a bag of 10 skeins of Noro Furin on
sale. So, I bought it. Next was a skein of Araucania sock wool to
add to my ever burgeoning stash of sock
wool. At this point, I thought that was
enough. No more spending. Have a nap instead – it’s much cheaper.
I was woken from a nap on the couch by my phone
ringing. It was the winery where Peter
and I buy our wine. I know it sounds a
bit pretentious but after searching for a long time for a nice classic dry
white wine, we finally found one. (Vasse
Felix Classic Dry White – Very nice indeed) so we cut out the middle man and
buy direct from the winery. It was good news! Our wine
was on sale – so I bought 2 cartons. 2
CARTONS! I can’t justify 2 cartons. What
was I thinking? I think I was still
asleep or maybe dreaming about when I am well again and how lovely a cold glass
of wine would be. Right now, it’s the
last thing I feel like. So I started
feeling a bit miserable at my spending.

So I am single handedly building the Roman Empire surrounded
by wool and wine in the true Romanesque fashion. I really hope I get better soon. I can’t afford to live like a Roman.
Happy Empire Building,
I understad (a little to much). Try civilization (romanian empire! Pretorianos! Kill kill kill!!) or travian (online); that is addictive too but cheaper, jejeje
