| Another Snowy Day~ |
|
I woke up this morning and the landscape is still white. It seems like the snow will never stop over Geneva. I like snow and white landscapes so I don't mind. Hearing people complain about the snow is fun. But it's kinda scary to witness the weather's craziness these past few years. I went to the Geneva car show Sunday. Too many people! Nothing really new, no huge innovation. Kinda disapointing. Even my car didn't change a bit since last year. I won't complain, it's kinda good to know I'm still on the top carwise. Since I had to get up at 8:00 on a Sunday morning, I decided to take a nap on the afternoon. I woke up 3h30 later. I really thought it would be impossible to sleep on the evening but turned out I went to bed even earlier than usual. Pouick catching up on sleep. Maybe it's not such a good idea to go to bed so late every day. After more than 2 months, our server is fianlly back and running. Except my bro gave me a different IP and so my web site is still not linked to the right IP and the hosting company still hasn't done the necessary. Arh! So, the site can be found there: 209.208.66.101 but we'll have to wait for the domain name linkage.

| Customized My Layout... Again~ |
|
So, I understand there has been some server problems. I bet they are using the same as me! :p Since my old layout (the one matching my web site) vanished, I made a new one. Nothing sepcial, just something from scratches. Looks kinds cool IMO. Jeez, it's late! I should be in bed by now.

| Getting Sick~ |
|
Yup, this is confirmed: the snow will never stop and we will end up living in igloos in Geneva. I was disappointed last year with the lack of snow... Well, not anymore! I'm still not bored, though. I like snow. I think I'm getting sick. My throat hurts and the cough is taking over. Friday I might be too ill to go to work. Meh. Too bad! Seriously, I thought I had gone through winter without any illness this year but no, I can't be so lucky! Well, it I need to take a day off, I can still manage to work on the website for the Royaume. Today I wrote a long email to my family (we have a Google Group to make things easier). My mom passed the message that my grandfather was mad at me and my bro for not calling and not wishing him a Happy New Year. Honestly, I didn't call anyone and I never think of giving news unless I'm asked for. So I sent the big fat email and talked endlessly about my vibrating life. Go me! Sure it's nice to give news but I know from experience than the rest of the family will read the whole thing, sort it and never reply. Why would I be the bad girl who doesn't give news if everybody does the same? That's the mystery of life. Maybe my grandfather is secretly hoping to hear I'm finally getting engaged or something and that's why he's so eager to hear from me. Duh! After my 3 male cousins and 5 female cousins, I'm the next in line, just before my brother and my young cousin David. Even my grandmother who slowly turns senile didn't forget about my singleness. Currently feeling: sick |

| The Cat Story~ |
|
I wanted to get a cat in my nearest cat shelter today. I never would have guessed you had to meet so many requirements in order to give a home to a lonely cat. Or maybe I talked to the wrong person. Well, this one was rude and not concerned. It was like her main goal was to discourage people from getting a cat. Following is all the c*ap she came up with. • I shall get an older cat (5~7 year old) if it was to stay at home all alone while I'm at work. Sure, why not. But she kept presenting me with 10~15 year old cats. I'm not taking a cat to pay vet bills during 2 years top and end up with no cat at all. • If I were to take an younger cat and it had to stay home alone all day, it would surely turn violent. Are all they cats psychos? I had 3 cats on my own in my life (two died on accidents - gotta love the country side T_T) and none of them were violent. • Was I ready to have my placed destroyed by a cat? Hell no! Where does she get that cats can turn your home into a battlefield? Did she ever have a cat? What kind of woman can have so mentally instable cats? My mom once took a cat from a shelter. Sarah was 4 year old, independent and home alone all day long. We never had any problem whatsoever! I left the shelter without turning back. Damn this woman! I'm still catless but I don't want to rush things. I wanted to take an older cat so that it would already be a tiny bit educated but now, I'm getting to think I would be better off with a kitten. To be continued... Currently feeling: puzzled |

| Officially Sick~ |
|
I will stay in bed all day long hoping to recover before the weekend. My voice has gone weird and I'm coughing all the time. The cough makes my head that close to explosion... Well, it's gonna be a fun day. I need to call my boss but with that voice, I'm not sure she will recognise me. Plus it hurts when I'm talking. Big ouch! The inconvenient of living alone : there's no one to take the phone for you of boil you water or bring you an extra blanket. You gotta do it for yourself. *sigh* Maybe I'll send my boss an email. Currently feeling: malaaaadeuh! |

| Went to Work Today~ |
|
Despite a terrible night, the cough, the pain in my throat... I I felt really horrible for the first 4 hours. Lunch was pathetic. My colleague E. propose me to eat with her but I spent the whole time concentrating on my throat to force the food down. Not mentionning my voice which was kinda disapearing at the same time... or mutating into Vin Diesel's hang-over-kinda-morning voice. I began to feel better after 3:00 pm and finished my working day without too much pain. But now the evening is even c*apier. Dunno if I'm gonna make it tomorrow. T_T

| Posting From Work~ |
|
End of the week, everything is done... I allow a 15 min break to my poor brain. I did go to work today. Bad idea! I'm sure all of my colleagues were happy to hear me cough all day. I have the entire weekend to get better. There's no way I'm working another day in the same condition or I will never get better. I find it really annoying to hear people's cell phone ringing all the time. Can't they use their silent mode?! It's not like they forget to put the silent mode once or twice... It's ringing every f@#king day! It's like some people are trying to make us believe they have a social life. "Listen, I have a friend, he's calling me!" Riiiiight! Learn some respect. Currently feeling: like hibernating. |

| Gotta Love Your Family~ |
|
So I've been sick for the past 5 days. My brother knew it cause he dropped by the day I stayed home. My step dad knew it because... either my brother told him or he called me? Can't remember. Tonight, my step dad asks me if I feel better so I tell him I'm still kinda sick and I'm still coughing. He decides to drop by to bring me medicine and when he left he told my mom where he was going and why. Five minutes after he left, my mom calls. "Why didn't you call me to tell me you were ill?". Meh! If she knew me a tiny bit, she would know it's not like me to call anyone to specially annonce I'm sick. I didn't even called my boss, I could only send an email. :p Meh.

| Disneyland Paris Or Not~ |
|
So I have the opportunity to go to Disneyland this weekend. A friend of mine has entries and I would only have to pay the train (which is a rather good thing considering my finances). This is a place I always wanted to go but never had the money or time or friends to go with. Kinda exciting. Of course, the idea pops out only three days before the weekend. I love last minute plans. I'm seriously considering. Train isn't that expensive and I really, really want to see Maÿ. Can't remember if I had other plans so I guess I'm free to go. Currently feeling: excited! |

| Weekend Plans Cancelled~ |
|
My super weekend in Paris has been cancelled. The reason? My friend's boyfriend. Let me rephrase: My friend's moron boyfriend! My friend was an independent woman with a strong will. She used to decide for herself and go for it. She was one of the funniest person I knew and it was a blast to hang out with her. We managed to keep in touch even though I went to the US and then moved to Switzerland. It's been 5 years now... We see each other every now and then and email each other. She talked about following me in the US for a while when I was there but then she found herself a boyfriend so she dropped the idea. So did my best friend. We were supposed to go together but she changed her mind after a while. She got a boyfriend as well. Anyway... the first time I met this guy was the last time I went to Paris. It took him only few hours to decide he didn't like me. To his eyes I was some kind of immature girl with no serious goals in life and I was not serious with my life, period. To make it short: he decided he didn't like me. So now, when my friend announced him I was coming over, he got pissed. First for not being consulted before and also because it was of so short notice. I think deep down it's because it was me. Anyway, it was enough to make my friend back up and cancel the weekend to which SHE invited me and for which I already purchased the train ticket. Well, I got a refund for the train ticket. I told her I would never plan another trip to see her again but my door was opened for her, any time. So much for friendship... Currently feeling: disappointed. |

| No Plans For The Long Weekend~ |

That's right, I'm planless. Oh, not true. I just planned to reinstall my PC tomorrow. The virus won. I'm crewed. -_- As for Saturday, Sunday and Monday... What should I do? Endless sleep?

| Easter Family Lunch~ |
|
Easter Family Lunch wasn't as bad as I feared. Actually, aside from the spicy pepper chicken, it was nice. We played the dictionary game and it was a great deal of fun as usual. I'm the best to find weird words with improbable definitions although my mom got us all with a weird cave plant, purple and yellow with gluey leaves. I have muscle aches in my legs. I'm not sure if it's from Friday when I carried my PC to my bro's for a reinstall or from Saturday when I helped to move a friend. Maybe the combination of them two. Clear statement of my body... I'm not fit for exercise any more. Damn! I had such a great training a year ago! Meh. Still not willing to get back to exercise, though. It takes so much time! Now I'm walking like an old woman, it's kinda funny. You don't realise how much you need every tiny part of your body until you suffer from one of them. Like when you don't realize what you had until you lose it. Humans are like that I guess. I've finally done my 2004 tax declaration! I will pay the same as last year... Almost two months worth of salary. It's huge. Bye bye vacations. I'm hoping for my raise this summer. I need it badly and I sure deserve it. Last day of the four day weekend. What should I do? Sleep!
