A girl named Manolo



I’ve a terrible cold. I think it’s a bit worse though, an infection somewhere since I’m coughing green mucus, doubt it’s my sinuses, as they’ve barely bothered me, though I won’t get antibiotics, unless it doesn’t clear up in a week or so. There’s a campaign in Spain saying that we shouldn’t abuse antibiotics (about time!!! Finally). But then they should tell the docs too cause they give out antibiotics like candy.

I simply will eat lots of garlic, onions, fruits and vegetables. That should clear anything up. My voice sounds cooler too. I sound like a big smoker called Manolo. I'm cursed with a high-pitched non-authoritative voice.

My Halloween was okay, I was kinda sick, and perhaps shouldn’t have gone out but wanted to. Went out with a friend and left the party at about 2.15. Couldn’t take the smoky bars any longer. And stayed in bed the whole day.


I think I can be a bad girlfriend. My boyfriend lives in Amsterdam and it was his birthday yesterday. Since we don’t see each other very often, we can’t really have birthday presents and all that. I sent a card on Monday, but of course it takes about a week to arrive, I should have planned it better which of course I never do. And in my defense I’ve been thinking about his birthday since September, and didn’t simply remember 2 days before. He’s such a hard person to buy for, now if I had tons of money, it won’t be so hard but what’s a literally poor girl to do for a picky boyfriend? I decided to get a massage in Amsterdam for him, but now I have to work out the details. And sorting out the real massage parlors from the 'massage parlors'. It is Amsterdam, though he'll be delighted to have the other kind. In his dreams.

He’s used to getting presents late :-(
