Cripes oh mighty...

Last night was a wing doozy! I'm still fighting this cold which has now been reduced to an annoying throat tickle that sends me into fits of coughing. Last night there was little sleep to be had. I coughed so much that I finally gave up sleep altogether and sat out in the living room on the couch for an hour. That was at 5:30am. I tried sleep again once I felt the cough subside and managed to doze off at around 7am. The next thing I knew it was 4:00pm and I'd slept the entire day away! Normally I wouldn't mind that except that Alex leaves for Sweden on Saturday so these last few days are very precious indeed.

We did manage to get out and get some McD's for dinner and then off to see "Sweeney Todd" which we missed the night before. We missed it the night before because dinner at the Roadhouse took too long but it was well worth it. So, all was not lost. We did have a great time after all.

Only one more full day and he's off again. I hate even thinking about it. It makes my heart hurt very, very much. I'm jealous that he's going back to Stockholm without me. I long to live there so badly. I'm sure there has to be a way but not being independently wealthy I haven't thought of it yet. Thank god for phones and computers and Skype... they keep us hanging in there but they are a very cheap substitute for the real thing.

all you have to do is start talking like the swedish chef from the muppet and they will give you your own cooking show in sweden.

I think I would also have to cook...maybe.
