beelikej: (JDM2015)
If you follow me on Twitter you already know that I was sick the last couple of days. What seemed to be a simple sore throat and cold turned into a very snotty and feverish sinusitus. Being at home gave me a lot of time to worry about (lack of) comments on my most recent artwork and all in all I was pretty miserable. I tried to turn that frustration into inspiration with my previous post and today I'm posting happy photos to celebrate that I'm feeling better AND to remind myself there's lots of other good stuff in my life.

First off these awesome photos of VegasCon I came across on Tumblr:
Jared, hula hoop dork vs. Jensen, hula hoop god

Jared by CasKisses + Jensen by GrumpyJackles

See, I did pay attention to J2. But -just like Jensen- I was mostly mesmerized by this guy:

SaturdayNight Special & Jeff crashing J2's panel on Sunday <3

Woot! Found a complete video of JDM's panel \o/ )

Not fandom, but also fun: mom had given me a fancy dinner out for my birthday and last week we finally managed to go out. We went to restaurant "Kletsen & Proeven", which means 'Chat & Taste', as they offer a special sample-menu where you can try all their dishes in one go. Here is what we had: )

More family fun
A week ago I already linked to the photos I made myself when my nephew took me to the Dinosaur exhibit, but his mom posted two really cute ones on Facebook that I'm sharing here: ROOOAAAR! )

Previous post: COMPLETE SPRINGFLING ARTLIST (Have you guessed mine yet?;)

Last but not least: check out the awesome story I got as a gift for springfling:
Moments - a wonderful fic about professor Morgan and his TA Jensen Ackles <3

Ugh, I really want to do that 10 books - meme that's popping up all over my flist, but my head is filled with snot and I just can't think straight at the moment. So remind me to do that, mkay? (Same goes for responding all of y'alls bookposts;)
Also, if you want to fill my comments with snuggles and pretty, that would be awesome. (*whines and sniffles*) I'll try not to sneeze all over you.

I had to call in sick today and also for the main part of tomorrow, but seeing as work is a mess right now (can't really go into details online) I want to prevent my co-worker from falling over, so I made arrangements to come help out tomorrow afternoon. This does not mean I'm feeling better -as I made clear to the bossman-, but I will survive and I just don't want things to get worse. (Feeling guilty about being sick is only making me feel more crappy anyway). We'll see how it goes.

I'm now gonna go watch the J2 panel at Dallas Con before I turn in early. I already watched The Gold Panel and it was glorious. Gosh, they are handsome fellows, aren't they. *chinhands*
beelikej: (Books)
In between coughing, sneezing and wringing out my handkerchief, I managed to finally finish my review of His Dark Materials. You can find my effort for a coherent summary of that trilogy and additional booklets in my bookcommunity:)
beelikej: (Good girl)
The work was supposed to be done in a week: the window in the attic was going to be replaced and asbestos would be removed. Since I didn't find my key in the mailbox as promised, I decided to take a look upstairs. It seems they removed part of the window frame and stuffed it with a bit of crumbled up paper. Which of course isn't waterproof, so there was water dripping on my carpet. Good job, guys. They also apparently used my attic as storage space. I hope to talk to the contractor on Monday. It's a good thing I emptied out the area and covered all my precious equipment...

On a happier note: only two more weeks until Sinterklaas-festivities! This morning the neighbourhood version of our St. Nick did his rounds together with his musical Petes:)

More good stuff: I already got a birthdaypresent! To comfort me after reading Thursday's sick and tired post [livejournal.com profile] rispacooper surprised me with Nick/Greg fic! It made me feel so much better and you should all go and read it and tell her how awesome she is: Truth And Dare

My throat still hurts and I have a serious case of the sniffles, which looks like it will grow into the barking cough over the next few days. But this afternoon I will let myself be pampered by Mom: I'm going over to her for dinner and tonight we are going to the Art house for 'Amazing Grace' with Ioan Gruffud. Mmmm.
