today i got sent home from work. had i known it was high-comms (however it's spelled) i wouldn't have bothered coming in. yesterday, after a good rest, and chillin' on the couch, i felt a *lot* better. that was short-lived. i was feeling pretty good when i went to bed, but sleep was not coming. so i had some cough syrup, to compliment the magnelevures from earlier and lay back in bed, wishing for some sleep.
this morning i felt like shit, but decided to go to work. i shouldn't have bothered. ria, one of the managers was like: you look like shit. go home. since i had a pounding headache, my body had decided aching would be a good idea, and i was getting hotter by the second, i did.
i've lit a fire. and there's nothing on tv.
to entertain myself, i called toni & guy, to raise issue about my recent experiences there. they're sending out a coupon for a free blow dry. to be honest, i don't really know what that means... except that maybe i can go in with wet hair and they'll blow dry it for me–usually it's a wash and blow-dry. in any case... even the manager doesn't really care, i feel like i've done something about it.
and now it's time to snuggle under the blanket and try to get the fire really going.

i want more
i am sick. again.
today was spent in bed, except for the few hours i was on the couch while gerry made me pancakes and then lunch as i caught up on american idol. *blush*
i have no energy right now, it's actually hard to type. so i think tomorrow might be a day off work.
i must be sick, cause i feel like i could go for a lucozade, and i think those things are disgusting. maybe some juice would do just as well.

big hairy deal
i had a favourite hair stylist here in cork. it's really hard to get an appointment with her, at Toni & Guy, because of the hours i work. so, a couple of weeks ago, i made an appointment for today (saturdays are very hard to book, but i don't have much choice). i started to get sick on thursday evening, and when i woke up this morning, i really didn't want to leave the house. but the call of a good, and much needed hair cut got me up.
i got into the salon and said i have an appointment, with ruth and the woman was like, what's your name? so i repeated it, and she looked on the computer and then said: i've been trying to call you for two days, ruth is sick! and i said that i have had no missed calls, and no messages, so she was like: is it turned off? since i never turn my phone off, except for flying, i said no. and i looked at it again, and there were no missed calls. she then called out a number that was close to, but not my phone number. so, she's like, i can give you an appointment with someone else at 2.30. since i'm sick, and it was a huge effort just to get there the first time, i said no. and she said she'd rebook me with ruth, and i said that's fine, but i can only come in after 5 because i work until 4.30 monday to friday. she offered me 4.20 on wednesday. (do you ever get the feeling people aren't listening?) so i repeated myself and she offered me an appointment 2 weeks from now, because they're closed next saturday. i think i can find someone sooner than that... especially since i've already been waiting ages.
here's the issue. the receptionists there are stupid. the last time i went to toni & guy, i ended up getting a different stylist (who i didn't like at all) because on the phone they couldn't understand me saying ruth, not jess. and when i called for this appointment i asked for an appointment for the next saturday, which she said wasn't available, so said i work mon-fri until 4.30, so it has to be outside of that. she said they don't have anything. i then suggested the saturday after that, which was available.
i think i'll try to call the manager on monday.

tearing down the L
okay. not my first time, but i think my most tense time. today i got my full irish driving license. i was nervous about it... cause it's been a LOOOOOONG time since my last test, and let's face it, i didn't learn to drive here so lots of stuff is different. in fact, lots of stuff doesn't make sense to me. and i don't actually understand why they would be part of the test. like, who cares if you put on the e-brake (handbrake here) when you're at a stop? and why do you need to know how to reverse around a corner? that doesn't seem very safe to me... i really don't think you should be doing that, but today, i got tested on it. and when doing a 3 point turn (which no longer needs to be 3, it can now be 7 or 12, whatever) do i really need to use the handbrake every time i stop?
anyway, now that i have my full license, i can drive how i like! :o)
and superjob me!
at work, it's tradition to bring a cake for your birthday. i went to marks and sparks and got some cake to celebrate my test! (and the fact that i managed to save over 500 euro on my insurance by getting my license, and a further 50 by calling around to different companies!)

when in rome, don't think you're caesar
the dave matthews concert last night was great. it was acoustic and with only dave and tim reynolds. it was such a small venue (max capacity is 2000, and i don't think the set-up allowed for the max) that the whole feeling was really personal.
dave was quite chatty, and well on the way to drink-ville. he was really funny and told some great stories.
he said he didn't care if people shouted out requests, but in the end, he'd play what he wanted. when someone shouted out 'sunday bloody sunday' (after he'd been chatting about ireland kicking england's ass in the 6 nations rugby match on saturday) he replied: when in rome, don't think you're caesar. fair enough.
there was an annoying american guy who was yelling for '#41' to be played. finally someone yelled at him to shut the fuck up, and amazingly it wasn't me, but i was close. i'm surprised the dude didn't get beat up... maybe he did.
there wasn't an opening act, so i was really happy we were in our seats before 8, cause the show started at 8.15. it didn't end until after 10.30, so lots and lots of songs were played.
it was kind of like going to see a session of MTV unplugged. 2 thumbs up to dave and tim. whoot.

hot fuzz
if you are thinking of seeing this film, and are waiting for a recommendation, then here it is.
after some overtime at work, again, gerry and i had a bit of a date. movie and take away thai. the movie did start off a bit slowish but you could see it was building towards something. a full-on farce of point break and bad boys, which it totally refers to, and has no shame about throughout the movie.
so funny.
also, the thai was good (and i have leftovers for work tomorrow-yum!) so the date was a success enough that there might be another...if he's lucky. ;o)

'liquor in the front, poker in the rear'
today, before starting another day with our new system at work, i got to chat to anghold (hence the title). good times. there was talk of indian food, poker playing and some fun puns...like there are any other kind worth mentioning. i was happy to be reminded of things that i have to look forward to when i get back to canada... cause sometimes i wonder if it's the right choice. let's face it, there are no guarantees, and the grass always looks greener. well, maybe in this case it just looks like a different shade of green.
i feel like i'm always trying to catch up on my blog lately. for a change, i'm not going to apologise for not being a good blogger. instead i will talk about things that are fun and coming up.
for example:
*next week is the dave mathews concert in dublin
*we are going to conor and sinead's in celbridge on friday. saturday we will watch the rugby game between ireland and england (from what i hear, it's an historical match, because they have never played against each other at Croke Park. and in the 20's a big English tank came in and shot some Irish people in the middle of an all ireland game there so there's a lot of tension there).
*it's almost paddy's day, so we're going to have a bit of a fête here, and go into town and watch the parade, drink green beer, etc.
*it's also almost, but not as almost, gerry's birthday. so as well as the party action for that event, i've got to start thinking presents!!
*oh! and i've started driving lessons. it can take months to get an appointment for your driving test here, but because i got a letter from work, i may be able to get one sooner. this means i need some lessons and practice... there are some crazy things on the test here, like reversing around a corner (which i don't think is safe, and probably shouldn't be encouraged).

sum it up
it's been a busy month. allow me to sum up.
new year's was spent in celbridge with conor, sinead, DP, and the new baby: diarmuid. there was some experimentation with conor's Wii and gerry and i basically fell in love with it.
the next day gerry and i left for germany, where we were meeting ian the next day.
we went to heidelberg for a couple days, then to the netherlands, belgium, france, and back to germany. then we left for ireland.
ian and i spent the day in dublin with elaine, and gerry went to carrick, then we left for cork. sunday was a day of rest. monday gerry went to work, and ian and i walked around cork, and had lunch at wild ways.
tuesday i was sick... repeat for the next week. we still managed to go to blarney, my favourite restaurant: cafe paradiso and to the fransiscan well. i ended up sending ian back to dublin on the bus so that elaine could entertain him, and i'd arranged for him to hang out with isabel in my moment of illness.
then, on wednesday, ian and i left for london. we saw spamalot on wednesday, and on thursday the royal shakespeare company's antony and cleopatra.
spamalot was fun. really great. we were in nosebleeds, but it was fine.
antony and cleopatra starred patrick stewart. and despite not being my fav of the shakespeareans, it was really good. i really love shakespeare, and seeing the RSC hasn't let me down in the past, so i was super-keen to try to see this (we hadn't pre-booked tickets, so we didn't know if we'd get in).
we also went to my favourite museum while in london. the tate modern now has an entire room designed and designated to rothko. he made a series of paintings that were originally intended for the four seasons in LA, but said that they were too dark and pensive for the location, and gave them to the tate. they've designed a room with darker lighting as per his requests, so it's really enclosed and linear. the concept works really well.
friday ian went back to vancouver, and i came back to ireland.
saturday was gerry's work 'winter dinner and dance'. another opportunity to wear the red dress and prada shoes! whoo hoo.
now it's back to work (right into month-end craziness). i'll try to put together some pics of the trip and post them.

wii - indeed!
i got a text from gerry when i was in london: found a wii, 3 games, 2 controllers, should i buy it? texted back: yahoo. (although that text didn't go through).
anyway, the point is that i came home today to find the wii set up and ready for love (and by love, i mean caressing, whispering sweet nothings, and lots and lots of praise).
i will be blogging heaps of pics and stories about our trips... probably on sunday, in between wii-ing, and recovering from gerry's work party tomorrow night, but for now it's off to bed to nurse my first wiinjury (gerry and i were playing tennis and he backhanded into my arm). i also found out that i can get game cube games and a controller for it, and because we're online, and gerry's already set that up, play with others who have game cube... i'm just sayin' is all. *must find super mario games asap*
so far, so fun!!!

european road trip
more pics to come.
this is us at the Heineken Museum...now known as the Heineken Experience. Gerry and Ian got shit faced. I don't like beer, so it was a sober Urs that almost knocked over the bar and a million drinks with it.

still year end
ohmygosh.
it's hard to believe that it's still year end at work. i'm not even able to think about new year's, let alone our trip to the continent. except that it will be exciting.
christmas was basically a whirl wind. it was pre-year end and i felt really under prepared because we went to celbridge, right after work on friday and then on saturday made it to carrickmacross. on christmas evening gerry and i got back here and we opened each others' presents. (we're still in separate rooms at his parents' place, so we decided to open a few in carrick, and the rest here.)
now i'm trying to not have to work on saturday, so i can pack and get ready for our trip with ian. so far the plans for that include: meeting ian in frankfurt, going to heidelberg for a couple nights, and then hitting some other countries. will keep you post posted!

the christmas party
i've uploaded some pics of my christmas party. you know, the one where i ordered the full-irish breakfast, and the one that i bought a new dress and some jewelry for.
here's ricardo & gerry looking suave
karen and me in the same festive colour, but very different dresses
matilda and her very own special 'love balloon'

it's done!
the blanket made for danielle's baby is done! whoo hoo! after three false starts, large and small, on christmas eve, i made the last stitch. and can now give my old arthritic hands a rest. here's how it looks:

giving
i can't believe christmas is less than a week to go.
i've been so busy with work (year-end is even worse than month-end) i can't believe i've managed to get my christmas shopping done!
thanks everyone for the cards, and thanks for the eczema cream, ang and lief! i tried it right away, and will let you know how it goes. smells good. :o)
all i have to do to finish up, is give away the gifts, and finish up the blanket i'm crocheting for danielle's baby. it'd be a sweatshop over here except that we've run out of oil and since thursday have been freezing. once it's done i'll take a pic and post it.
we're heading up to gerry's parents' place this weekend, and will hopefully get some shopping done in dublin before new year's. after new year's we'll be traveling europe, so we've got lots of planning for that too.

the full irish
funny thing happened last friday...
after a good night of dress-up and drink-up for our work christmas party, and going to bed for the second time, we decided to fill out the form for breakfast in bed.
i was so drunk and tired that i ordered two full irish breakfasts. a full irish has black pudding (blood pudding), white pudding, bacon, sausages and eggs. the one i meant to order was the vegetarian version (beans and toast). i woke up at my regular time (6.30) in a panic. i decided to wait until 7 to call to say what i really wanted. here's a sample of my conversation/explanation:
umm, i ordered two irish breakfasts last night, but was too drunk to remember that i'm a vegetarian. the response i got: ah right! i'll get that sorted for you, miss.
the irish, they understand drunk.

checking his list update
while at the mall today (well, not a real real mall) carol and i went to eason's (a bookstore) to have a look for presents. while at eason's we found a munster book (see below) and i pointed out the two guys we saw on monday. they look just like they do in person.

checking his list
today we sent out some christmas cards and a present or too. sorry if you don't get a card, we kinda ran out.
i also sent away some presents and we got almost everything we need for our christmas dinner on saturday. it looks like things might work out alright. whoot.
OHOHOHOHOH
in other exciting news, last night, at dinner, guess who sat next to us? springer and hmmm... can't remember the other guy's name from the munster and ireland rugby team. i was like: gosh, that guy looks familiar. and gerry was like, oh yeah, he plays for munster, and then i was like, i think the other guy does too. and sure enough, it was true. also, we eat similar food to them. gerry and yer man had the same main and springer and i both like edamame. YUMMY indeed!

it's new!
i got a new mobile today. it's pretty. it also costs less than the amount you get in free phone credit. i never had a pay-as-you-go phone before ireland. it works out fine here, cause i don't really use it too much.
it's coffee brown and cyan. and it's beautiful.

another one down
so, last week marked another month-end. more surprisingly, it also marked another month-end that i was sick. i feel like i get sick every month at month-end. it sucks extra because it feeds itself. you work longer hours in recycled air, so you get sick. you have to work a bit longer, cause you're run down from being sick.
i've started feeling better though... took it fairly easy this weekend. mostly i've been watching law & order, tending the fire, and cleaning house. today i made things a bit more exciting by starting on christmas cards. all of the addresses are filled in on the charity cards (still can't find unicef cards here, but i did get some oxfam ones, and gerry got bernardos cards the other day). we also went to a dinner party last night. it was really nice. it was actually kinda cool because she's french, so most of the food was french. and she made lots of veg stuff for yours truly.
it was nice to be invited to someone's event at work. we were having a discussion at work the other day about how it's hard to meet people here (i said that people are a bit more open in north america). of course regina said people in ireland aren't friendly. i said they're more friendly than in germany. matilda said that people here are much more open than in sweden... it kind of proves my theory on in warmer countries, people spend more time out of their houses, socialising and have less layers on so they're more open. all this to say that i got invited to a work person's house for dinner! yahoo.
this will be a week of christmas preparation. we both have tuesday off, so we're going to get a tree, buy stuff for the dinner party on saturday, and hopefully set up whatever room we're going to use to host 16 people for dinner.
i'd say we won't even need a fire, there'll be so much body heat in this place.
on the note of dinner, i should probably check on my marinating chicken and get some taters boiling. (i lost a bet, and am making a meat, potatoes and veg style dinner.

it was nice to be invited to someone's event at work. we were having a discussion at work the other day about how it's hard to meet people here (i said that people are a bit more open in north america). of course regina said people in ireland aren't friendly. i said they're more friendly than in germany. matilda said that people here are much more open than in sweden... it kind of proves my theory on in warmer countries, people spend more time out of their houses, socialising and have less layers on so they're more open. all this to say that i got invited to a work person's house for dinner! yahoo.
this will be a week of christmas preparation. we both have tuesday off, so we're going to get a tree, buy stuff for the dinner party on saturday, and hopefully set up whatever room we're going to use to host 16 people for dinner.
i'd say we won't even need a fire, there'll be so much body heat in this place.
