commence selling soul to devil in exchange for TheraFlu

i cannot believe that i am THIS sick, AGAIN.
it started monday, with some sneezing. By wednesday i had that whole "oh GOD, everything HURTS" feeling going on. Now, day FIVE, when i should be feeling BETTER, i feel oh-so-much worse. Plus something weird is going on, which is that this cold-flu is making my teeth hurt.

ooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

oooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

What with the calculations and all...

so. today, on this very first day of this very new year, Slovakia has switched to the Euro - being the sixteenth member of the EU to do so. We can still use our slovak korunas for two more weeks - but the change we will be given will be in Euro (which, by the way, IN europe is pronounced Ay-Ur-Oh).
Sigh. Magically and overnight, the money that i had in my bank account became euro. and More disturbingly, so did the credit on my phone.
Synopsis of The Phone Situation:
here, many people operate their phones on the credit system, and based on the cost of the call vs. the credit you have on your phone, that is how much time you get. Eg, it costs about 10 crowns a minute to call america (50 cents). It costs between 1.5 crowns to 9 crowns to send an sms. (although not to america, then it will cost 6 crowns and it will NEVER EVER CERTAINLY NOT EVER arrive. but it will still cost you.)
Joe just texted me to wish me healthiness, and after i texted him back, the little message for remaining credit popped up and told me that i had 1.22 EURO left. hmmmmmmmm. Last night i had 46 crowns (about 2 bucks). Now i have to reprogram my entire money calculations in my head! jeez.
