Where are those pictures?
Blogbi has been giving me an especially hard time about being so lazy with my posts. I was tempted to just add a few pictures, since there was much baking and cute kids in front of my camera lately, but alas I decided to make an effort to update you masses of curious people out there.
I cannot quite put a finger on it but I have been feeling like there is a village somewhere missing its idiot, my mind wonders and wanders and I still feel slightly lost.
In general things have improved; the sun has been shining for the last 4 days in a row. He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed is not all well yet but seems to be recovering from the badly injured knee and even if we are not both completely over the BC (brutal cold) we can say we see the light at the end of the tunnel, it is blinking but it is there!
He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed said he was feeling discombobulated himself. I suspect that has a lot to do with a very painful knee and also the very painful amount of taxes we soon will have to pay. I feel kinda lame since there is nothing I can do to change any of those things.
I have been drowning myself in chocolate, mmmm’kay it was EASTER remember? But it is over now so I run out of excuses and find myself in need of a good dose of discipline.
Is it just Tuesday? Man, this week feels like it is going to be a real long one.
Better bring those pictures here.

So far not a funny week!
I have been real bad about posting here.
He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed fell on the stairs to the basement and hurt his knee badly, today we went to the orthopedic clinic and it seems he did managed to do a nasty sprain, so he needs lots of TLC!

I have bunnies coming out of the oven, just trying to adjust the fantastic brioche recipe to a traditional bunny recipe, they do look cute but I realize I could have done smaller ones and not just 4 big bunnies!
I went over the neighbor and gave them one of the large bunnies, since I felt bad that I never shared the first brioche bread with them. I have a feeling that I will be making this recipe again soon since He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed went to the kitchen and just bit one of the bunnies ears off!Well as I said he needs some loving so I will not complain about him eating the bunnies before the right time!

I need LifeQuil
Seriously I had enough Dayquil and Nyquil already. I am even taking the grownup sinus pills, not just the colorful cherry flavored fun liquid anymore. But although I realise it has been helping with most of the symptoms(very slowly for my taste but alas they come in only come with one speed) I need a Life back. One that is not defined by how lousy I feel after not sleeping well for over a week.
The goddesses must have been listening cause I had a delicious talk with my adorable Lotte!
That I can say is the best LifeQuil I know.

I am DONE
The initial idea was not to write until I feel better and can write something that makes some sense (mmm,kay… I did not say lots of sense or you would think you are reading the wrong blog) I gave up the initial idea simply because it feels like I am NEVER going to feel better.
Yes… I know I will… feel better… eventually…but honestly it only matters if I can feel better NOW.
Can it be NOW? No?
It is NOT pretty. I have a pink eye (the right one, not meaning the opposite of the wrong one but the one on the right side of my face), my upper lip is hosting the “Cold Sore Festival” and I am pretty sure my nose will fall since it is peeling, both sides, and I used about a million tissues on it (yeah the ones with aloe but it feels more like sandpaper). My head feels like it is going to explode but then it might be just the part affected by the sinus infection although all the other parts seem to have decided to go along with the explosion idea just for the fun of it. My whole body aches immensely, not only the joints and muscles, all of it, the parts I like and the ones I don’t care much about too.
He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed has been pretty good the last few days, more caring than usual, more keen on making me take pills and get some rest, he even got a couple of meals home so I did not have to cook. I do find him smiling at me, a little smile that sounds like: “I told you it was brutal so now you know” but I don’t mind. He is totally right. It is BRUTAL.
So much so I am just about to drag myself back to bed … see ya when it is OVER.

Extra Post(because it is thursday)
I am not a complex person. I am actually very simple, not much to figure me out. If you treat me good I will be good for you. If you are nice to me I will be extra nice to you. If you give me chocolate I can be a wonderful person to you. If you give me extra good quality chocolate the-one-I-was-dying-to-have I will be super nice to you and will be your sex slave for a whole week (not this week but some week before spring, I promise).
I don’t even keep it a secret, so I am trying to make life easier to anybody involved, well anybody involved with my life. Yeah, I am that good, go ahead, you can say it too, I know, it is a gift and so simple.
I have to quote it because it just makes all the sense:
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.

Intergalactic Tunnel
I know it has been too long since my last post but the options were NOT GOOD. If I did write in the last week it would have been about lousy weather (enough with winter already!), lousy clients (WHY they take so long to pay us?), He-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed running for the Grumpo of the Year Award (and I must say he could have won it with his eyes closed) or myself moaning and complaining about getting whatever bug he had and feeling? You guess: LOUSY!
Nothing much changed but I decided enough is enough and why have a blog if you cannot go ahead and write about anything you fancy.
To be honest something did change, one of the dogs is also sick and tossing his cookies in a timely manner. Oh joy!
Then today I get an email from my Ma and I had to laugh so I decided to share this little nugget of funnyness with you.
She wrote that the package I sent her did not arrived yet, she did confirm that it arrived in Sao Paulo on the 23rd, just like the post office here told me via email ( once it arrives at the destination Country the American post office no longer keeps track of it), so she took the information to her post office and they confirmed it indeed arrive on the 23rd, they also informed it went to Rio and arrived there on the 25th , but it went to a neighborhood at the other side of town, so maybe it is why it is taking 10 days to cross town and get to my Ma hands. She wrote me not to worry, stay cool and just pretend I live in Alaska.
Ma it only took 3 days from here to Sao Paulo, the problem is the intergalactic tunnel between those neighborhoods in Rio.
