Headed Home
Jun. 10th, 2007 10:38 pmAnd glad of it! I have to say, I didn't take full advantage of this trip - I just wasn't in the mood. I didn't go out at all til yesterday. But I did have a good time - the corporate rep took all of us who were working on the cutover out to lunch at a bodega, which is a winery in Argentina not a sandwich shop. I got nice and toasty and bought a few bottles to take back as souvenirs. I also bought a couple of bottles of Argentian olive oil, as it was excellent.
Today I sort of wandered around, tried to go shopping but almost all the stores were closed. I bought a painting from an artist at a booth in the park, and then just sat around and people-watched for a bit until a gypsy started bothering me. My Spanish isn't good enough (okay, my Spanish is pretty non-exisistant) to tell her to go away, so I just left. In the end, I spent about an hour waiting for my ride in the hotel lobby.
I can't wait to get home. My sore throat is turning into something more serious, complete with phlegm-y cough. I'm guessing strep throat or early stages of bronchitis, but it could just be allergies. Either way, I think I'm going to try to get into see my doctor tomorrow, assuming I can stay awake long enough. Wouldn't do to cough all the way through my brother's wedding. Speaking of, one week from today is my brother's wedding! I leave for England Thursday night. This is all my whole family has talked about for a year, I'm really looking forward to it. I will make sure someone takes a picture of me in a)my floral dress (I am not a floral-type person, but I am making an exception), and b) English wedding hat! When in Rome and all that.
In other news, I have finished Season 2 of Supernatural. I am definitely hooked, and am now trying to figure out how I will manage to watch this and Grey's Anatomy at the same time next season. I suspect I'll be watching Grey's online. I wish all the networks would do that, it really frees me from feeling chained to the tv. Guess I could get Tivo, but I am still resisting. Anyway, back to Supernatural - ( cut for spoilers if you haven't watched all of Season 2 )
And now I'm off to bed - or rather, off to curl up in my airplane seat and hope to nod off for a few hours. 9 hour flight, ugh.
