A Day to Stay in Bed By...

First, the rest of my time in Sweden was incredible. Soooo relaxing, soooo good to see Patrik, Miriam and Sam again. Sooo much fun to have a 4.25 hour game of Monopol (it was the first time I've atually ever seen a game through to completion...having 5 people really makes it more exciting! I've also created a new component to the game in Sweden...I introduced the concept of "Landing Rights" into the property exchange negotiation, and I think the game will never be the same over there...sort of funny considering it was a spur-of-the-moment survival strategy on my part)

But then I had to come home. Today:

1. I found out I will need to move flats because my flatmate's American...friend/boy thingie is moving here
2. I got a £50 parking ticket because I was about 3 minutes late coming out of a presentation I had to do for work
3. My manager has resigned which really sucks because she was incredible. Ah, politics.

Well, that's life, I suppose. Some days you're the statue, some days you're the pigeon...today I'm definitely the pigeon.

On the other hand, I saved Mr. Bird's life yesterday. I hope he's OK. I've looked up bird diseases on the internet today, and I'm a bit concerned that it's serious, but I'll just say my prayers and hope for the best. Doo, doo, doo...

Oh, and I bought my very own mug for work today - it's from Sweden and has a moose on it. It makes me very happy!
