What's New?
Around the apartment? A few things...
First of all, we got wireless internet. I haven't yet felt the benefits of it. I guess we got wireless primary because Arek wanted internet (understandably) and Rich and I both didn't want cables running through the hall, from room to room (we'd just ripped all the old ones out for that reason). There seems to be a glich right now, though. Every time Rich's online, Arek gets bumped. Any ideas???
I still haven't gotten my computer fixed, it's about time to move on that. I'm dreading it.
Friday I was horribly 'ill', as the Brits would say. Thursday afternoon I started to sniffle, by Thurs evening it had gone straight to my sinuses. I had a terrible headache, as well. I went right to bed with a Neocitren. I am so glad I brought those with me!!! Friday morning I woke up weak and fevered. I slept most of the day, only leaving my bed to go to the bathroom. Luckily, Rich had no lessons except for a private student who came to the apartment, so he hung around and took care of me. Winston took total advantage of the fact that I was too weak to kick him off the bed. For one day, he was king of the house. Saturday I was much better and attended an all-day teacher-training conference at the technical university. All the presentations were done by a guy named Andrew Wright - a Brit. I had to laugh when he congratulated me on my use of the word 'sepia'. I think he thought I was Polish :)
Winston seems so much bigger this week. He went to the vet for a check-up and rabies shot and he weighed in at 5 kilos (11 lb)! Norwich Terriers are supposed to be 4.5-5.5 kilos! He's only four and a half months old! So yeah, he'll be bigger than average I think. Here's the newest pics:
The lovely quilt he's under is one I just bought for a whopping 160 zloties! ($64.31 CDN) A baragin I'd say. It's rather chilly in my room and it makes for a nice throw when the bed's a couch :)
Rich started complaining that my room was so nice and his room has nothing. Boo hoo :) So, I made him a little garden from my old mouse cage. What do you think? He likes it.
In the kitchen, we finally got the oven moved! It looks and feels like a normal kitchen!
Now, a guy's coming in to change the retarded teeny-weeny double sink, hook up the washing maching in the closet around the corner from the sink, and moved the overhead cabinets to above the sink. On top of all that, you can see that Rich has started to take off the brown wall tiles that don't match the floor. Then Max said we could call him in a few weeks to do some more work, which will be drywalling and painting the kitchen - we hope.
(You can see the cavity where the stove used to be? We'll extend the counter there, maybe put in a dishwasher to save water.)
What's up with all of you? Updates please!
