Not so perfect weekend

As an unusual department from my usual way of spending the weekend, this past weekend has been pretty shitty, cause I was down with some sort of flue for the entire saturday and part of Sunday. Obviously, I know it couldn't have been a real flue, since it takes a bit more than two days to cure from tht, but still, I felt pretty fucked.

I woke up on Saturday with a terrible headache and feeling sick in my stomach, so after taking a long shower I decided I didn't feel any better, so I just went straight back to bed. I stayed there until about 8 in the evening, deciding if I felt good enough to go to Irene and Marlieke's graduation party, which I was looking forward to. Since I still felt terrible, I thought it best not to go, so I took another show, didn''t feel any better, but couldn't sleep again after already sleeping the entire day.

Luckily enough it was Saturday night so there are always movies on television. The Runaway Jury was on, so I watched that one. It's a movie version of one of my favourite John Grisham novels, although I was a bit dissapointed to see a major plot change: instead of the trial being about the tobacco industry, in this version it's all about gun control. Interesting enough, but not what I'd expected.

After the movie, I went back to bed, this time fortunately being able to fall right back to sleep. It's amazing how much sleep a person can actually get... I woke up on Sunday at about 1 in the afternoon, deciding I didn't want to spend my entire weekend doing nothing. So, i called Ziena to ask if she and her boyfriend wanted to go for a drink later that afternoon. Wet to the record store first, to buy myself another James Bond DVD (A View To A Kill, starring Roger Moore) and then hooked up with Ziena and Harm Jan.

Once back home, I watched my new DVD and went to bed early. It wasn't a perfect weekend by no means, but at least I'm feeling better now, and well enough to be back at work.
