It’s that time of year again!

This weekend is the official start of the Christmas season here in Spain. Some of you may recall last year when the residents of casa az elfed themselves. and Nog also made a fine dancing Scrooge.  This year you will be entertained by myself and my best friends in Sevilla …  (L to R) Pablo, Carmen, Nog and Pipocas.

Above is the Classic Christmas version. This year three new versions are also being offered, which you can see below. f_elf.gif

Be sure to have your speakers on!

Pipocas dragged me out of the house yesterday afternoon for art and burgers. I wasn’t sure if I was up to it as the op was just over a week ago and I’m still in a fair bit of pain and discomfort. But as the weather forecast was calling for RAIN until next Tuesday, I thought I’d better try and get out. And it really was worth the effort. . .

no-place-like-home

I am so happy to be home again. Been back for about three hours. Have showered and ‘washed the hospital off me’ and am in my pj’s feeling totally exhausted. But it’s a good kind of exhausted, you know? But I almost didn’t make it home today …

hanging-out

Well, it’s a beautiful morning here … watched the sun come up about an hour ago, all apricot coloured on the horizon. Nog’s gone to the cafeteria to have brekky and then he’ll head home to shower, snibble the boys and probably make a few sandwiches for today. Although my op is scheduled for 3 o’clock it could really happen anytime after 11, so Nog wants to get back here by then.

The Team should be here soon for a quick visit (mostly to reassure me – they know how nervous I get). Then I’ll shower while my bedsheets are changed and after that just hang out, waiting for THEM to come and get me.

Hope I’ll be back soon. Or even just back (eep!) …

You’re probably getting a bit tired of sending best wishes, etc, so random chat would be just fine.
What are you guys up to today? 🙂

back to hospital…

hospital-outside

Are you getting bored yet?

Tedium has taken over from terror, which is maybe a good thing.  I’m checking into hospital again today, feeling sad about the week to come because I am surely not about to get another perfect roommate like I did the other day. I also had a nice room. Ah well, for the next couple of days I will be too out of it to notice (much). And then it’ll be the weekend, which has a different rhythm than weekdays … and they try to discharge as many patients as possible before the weekend so I might end up having the room to myself.

It also feels different checking in on a Wednesday, unlike the last two times when I checked in on a Sunday. In some ways it’s better because I always find Sundays a bit depressing somehow. But today is ‘just another day’, you know? And I’ll be going to the hospital with Pipocas this time, so that Nog doesn’t have to cancel his afternoon/evening classes.  He’d already cancelled all of his Monday classes (for nuthin) and now has had to cancel tomorrow’s, which is very bad for him financially.  Anyhow, he’ll come to the hospital when he’s finished and, as usual, spend the first night with me.

I’m pretty much still packed from the other day, so there’s not much left to do.  *sigh*
