I am better, thank you, but I am still not completely right. It is simply too cold at work, but coming home feels good. The days are quite cold still but they say next week will be warmer.

I am very sorry about the water damage but I am super glad is under control now. And hopefully all will be perfect on Thurday.

Gasp! Ran out of coffee! The horror! (That happens to me sometimes because I am the one who goes to the grocery store where they sell coffee, but hubby is the one who prepares the coffee. So he is supposed to warn me when coffee is about to ran out. As you can imagine, sometimes he frogets.

One of my "baby" cousins is getting married this year too! In August. He is 30 now, but I do remember the actual baby he was. One of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen, and I am not a fan of babies. Apparently they are only planning to do a toast or something and nothing else. They are already living together, they only want to marry because it will be easier for them to relocate together (he is apparently doing a post-degree residence in Canada, at least that is the plan).

I bet lil' Maggie will help Harry to catch some sunshine again.

(and I am sad about other things happening in this thread)

Hello PD! All is well here, how are you?

@Regenbogen, I have not heard the song yet, but someone else told me Portugal was good.

Today is a cold morning, 5 C right now. I am not looking forward to get out. Luckily I do not need to leave home too early but today I have classes until 21:00.

Yes, that is why we are so afraid about our university. It is terrible.
Well, inflation is going down now and they opened importations, so it is possible that prices stop raising or even reduced. But industry is probably going down too. *sigh*. Well, that is enough about real world policy. Today is a lazy Saturday and I plan to enjoy it.

  I can't believe mulberries make you gain so much weight 

I am glad you had fun with your family.

Protests are legal here (of course, unless you begin throwing stones or something) but this government is particularly obsessed with free transit (as in nothing can stop you driving from one place to another), so if you cut the streets and stop the traffic, police will try to coerce you to move with more or less strength according to the situation. But in this case, it was really too many people, so the government OF THE CITY  decided not even try to stop us and let us manifest in peace. It was a good day.
National universities are "free" here (meaning, we all paid for them with our taxes). I am pretty sure this government is trying to make them private or at least paid, but for now they did not said that. They just tried to give the universities the same budget that last year, even when our annual inflation is more than 100%.  They also suggested that some workers will be fired. And they intend to do more controls that they are established by law. Basically, they were drowning the universities. Now, before the protest (when they suspected it would be massive) the government granted some money to the universities, but it was not enough, so we did the protest anyways. And it seems that it worked because it seems that more money will be coming soon. (They are also making a more or less covert campaing in social networks, trying to make people think that the lack of money is due to a poor administration by the universities authorities and because of the foreigners who study here. Xenophobia is always stalking).

Hello! I like that you posted, even if it is to say hello.
And I bet things are beautiful with the snow now. I heard something about the beginning of Spring being quite cold in Europe.
We are having rain and wind. More wind than rain, so it is not a pleasant day. But it is not cold.
I am sad because my football team lost yesterday against its classical rival. The worst thing is that we did not play well. Sigh, well, on Wednesday we have another match, in another phase of another Cup. Sports life continues.

In a serious note, tomorrow we have a manifestation in defense of public education. I hope it is massive, we willl see. Our president is reducing the resources for education and other things. I will not say more because real lfe politics are banned here, but it is an important thing and I wanted to mention it.

Hello Weird!
Yes, they were fun times.
oh, guests can be fun, but so tiring. It is a good feeling to be alone with just your family again.
How is your mom doing?

I do not think I ever had true Gulash but I do understand the feeling of having good food after too much garbage food.

Poor sofa. We had a killer sofa here in Weird, it ate whatever you put in them and once or twice we had to save people from it. It must be around somewhere.
In all seriousness, I think that death by cat is a good and worthy death for an old sofa. But yes, you better not buy a new one until the cats are used to play outside. And I would not want 10 kittens either, no matter how cute they are.

We watched Madame Web. Everyone on internet was like "this is the worst picture ever". To be honest, I did not think it was that bad. Oh granted, it was bad. Lots of exposition and in general it seems like the pilot of a TV show. The main problem is I could not like any of the many characters.

I am still having troubles with my health, I think it was an stomach flu and I am not completely well. Anyways, I have a doctor appointment next Friday. Also, last Friday I had dentist and a root was removed. It was not too bad, but I hate to have an empty space. Also, I have a tooth that moves a little, so she gave me a medicine that helps with that.

I know 
When I went to send mine it give me the warning "someone else posted while you were writng". It made me happy because it reminded me all times when I saw that warning all the time.
