Happy New Year?

So as I think I mentioned, I went to Lapland for Christmas. It was amazing, it was really great - although really cold! It made me miss home even more, though. Every time I thought of leaving Lapland and going home, it was SA home that I was thinking of, not UK home. And I wanted to tell my mom and my nieces and everyone about what I'd seen and done, but in person, not on the phone.

But it was great fun, and I'll do a post about it later. At the moment I'm really not feeling well. I've been off work the past two days, and luckily it's the long weekend now, otherwise I'd have to take more time off work. I don't know if it's a cold, or flu, or something else, but I have a fever and my throat is sore and my muscles are achy and I just feel _awful_. And this is another thing about not being at home - I don't have anyone to go get me medicine or food from the shops, or to talk to to distract me from feeling sick, or to check my temperature, or make my bed nice and tidy. Sure, I _can_ cope by myself, but I'd rather not have to :(

So it doesn't look like I'm going to have a very happy new year. I didn't really have much planned - I was going to go to a movie, maybe the carnival or fair or whatever it is at Hyde Park, but I doubt I will, unless I improve dramatically - at the moment I don't know if I'll be able to go buy food tomorrow, but I have to because I've pretty much eaten everything in the house!

Oh well, there's always New Year next year. And at least I had a good Christmas.
