What?

Days are getting warmer and longer. Summer is coming. That means the dead line for my thesis is also very close. Let me tell you: I am stressed.

The kid has glue ears. That's what he got after the infection in both ears. He doesn't hear that much. But nothing to worry about. We wait and see a doctor in two weeks. In the meanwhile the kid keeps repeatting "What?" after any noice he thinks he heard.

A baby was born in Oulu (far away in the norther parts of Finland). I think I might go there to see the baby once the dead line is behind me. I might take the glue eared kid with me.

Sunny Days Are for Writing

It's a sunny sunday. M and the kid went to see friends. I am supposed to write effectively my thesis while they are gone - not the whole thing though. My plan is to go through references for the chapter I am most unwilling to look at and that will make my last minutes future working much easier to do.

Last weekend I was in Sweden and I managed to sing karaoke. I did much else too, but karaoke always seems to be the most important of all activities.

Oh god - I better start working, so I won't think how much there is left to write and get panicked.

Ooh Tim, what you gave to me? This one is difficult. I am tagged to describe my life in six words.

May the force be with me.

I guess that's it.

Of course I am maying the force be with you too.

I am tagging Elspeth, Joy, Nina, and lovely Sunny.

Antibiotics and Bob are in the house

Yesterday I took V to a doctor. He had slept restlessly two nights in row and had a fever. The kid has an ear infection in both his ears and the doctor ordered him antibiotics. I didn't realize how sick he actually was - he was so damn genki (means about healthy or energetic) in spite of the pain.

Now I am at home with the kid again. He is watching the ever so entertaining "Bob the Builder". I have good intentions to let my alter ego "the cleaner lady" arrive here today; I can't write my thesis with the kid jumping around and one has to do some cleaning sometimes anyway.
