I hate the flu :(

First of all, I gotta do some major complaining :/ I catched the flu a couple of days ago. I´m not really sick but my throat hurts and I´ve lost my voice. I´m trying not to be speaking but it´s hard since there´re always people around and I´m not used to being quiet. Oh well, I guess I´ll have to learn to decide what is really worth saying. I just kinda wish I was properly sick so I´d have no option but just lay in bed. Now I can do stuff, even though I feel a bit weak, and it´s hard trying to convince myself the quickest way to get better is resting. Today I had planned to go to the beach and I´d want to go to the gym, too, but instead I´ve been just taking it easy and even trying to avoid people so I wouldn´t have to speak.

In the case you think this isn´t enough complaining, I´ll go on... I´ve bought some new pairs of summer shoes and have been walking a lot on them, which has caused several serious blisters. My left heel is bleeding and I´ve got blisters on the bottoms of both my feet. Yesterday I treated them: Stapped them with a needle and took the liquid out of them. It´s helped a bit. I also spent $30 on blister patches, and additional $20 on flu medicine.

I hope I´ll be well when Silja arrives here on Saturday morning. I don´t think I´ve mentioned she´s coming to visit me :D She´ll be here for 9 days. We´ve already planned some stuff to do together, like a tour at the Blue Mountains and a show in the Opera House. I´m sure it´ll be a great week full of sightseeing!
