After 15-20 minutes it stopped. In the meantime I’d turned on the TV in the lounge to try to drown it out. Finally went back to sleep at 2:30 and woke up again at 7:30.
Went to Starbucks for my usual Saturday coffee. Had a berry scone and read a while. After doing a little grocery shopping, I came home to rest.
I believe I have the stupid sinus infection again. It appeared right before coming to the UK, but I got some antibiotics which I continued to take when I arrived here. Felt better immediately. Then Friday it started again with a sore throat. A few others at work have sore throats too. I’m praying mine doesn’t progress as it did before. I don’t want to have to go through finding a doctor here. Ah well, I’ll hope for the best.
Took a nap, then went out for a walk. Saturdays are really fun—it seems everyone in Altrincham is in the Town Centre. It buzzes with activity, buskers, entertainment for the kids, and tons of people.
I found a 99 p store. Not as cool as the 100 yen store, but cool. I bought a cheese grater. You can’t buy sliced or shredded cheese. I even asked someone in a deli if she would slice the cheese for me and she said they didn’t do that.
Around dinnertime Jill called and we used the webcams online. Hunter was sleeping but I got to talk and see Jill and Kayla. I love it.
A happy even…at 4:10 AM CT, 10:10 AM GMT, Blake was born. My great-nephew. Including my own kids, there are about 25 nieces and nephews. I love having such a big family.
Tomorrow will work at home. I have lots to do since I’ll be away from the office all week.
