Back from a long 3 weeks vacation. I really needed it after the long time i spent working like crazy. it was so good to wake up no matter when and know that I didn`t have to do anything nor go anywhere. I forgot how relaxing it is to feel bored. I know it sounds crazy but when u`re so busy that u barely have time to sleep, u really miss the times when u could be bored. I also spent a weekend in the mountains (in the mountains - for some pics) and even if i have more peace and silence home (i was so lucky that there were 2 parties in that weekend... so good-bye sleep), it helped me find again my inspiration and start writing again, which is very good (as i didn`t write for some months).
Well now i`m back to work... but the vacation will make it easier :)

Today I got a bad news. This morning (my time) Steve Irwin died in a stupid accident. I was in shock for a long while. I considered him as one of my friends; he always got me laughing, even if I was feeling bad. Every time I was free at the hour of his documentary, I was in front of the TV.
God take care of your soul, Steve, and of your wife and child. I`ll miss you.

Got another 4h of sleep last night. I`ve been as active as a mummy at work. Just great. But thankfully my friends were there and supported me. I really should go to sleep, I have a problem with breathing because of tiredness but outside it`s just beautiful and I think i should take advantage of it to get at least a little tanned. That`s a dilemma... but sleep takes control.
I`m glad though that I had the time to continue the Nebulian Realms rpg before captain [Dreamseller] shot my head off. Just kiddin` captain! :P

Exhausting day at work... Couldn`t sleep till late at night and i had to wake up at 6 am for work... thanks heavens there is coffee! But after i finished i felt completely drained. I still have some things to do but i`m so tired... still i have to take care of that, it`s kinda urgent... why doesn`t a day have 36 hours (and work of course 8 as usual) so that i have time to sleep and work and do whatever i have to. I dunno how others can do it.
And besides, one of my best friends at work leaves tonight. That`s just great. I`m gonna miss her.
Gotta go now... and all i wanna do is sleep. But as we say... the world won`t stop to wait for me to sleep. Damn it :P

Yesterday I visited Etretat, a small ville in Normandy (the north of France). The cliffs are just beautiful and I just realized all the pics are with me and only one with the landscape :(...

I added 2 new pics on My Other Pics. More to come ;) on http://chrysilla.spaces.live.com/ as I don't wanna get Elftown stuffed with my things :)

Added a new story - The Song of a Vampiress

Finally better. I have some days of hell, monday and tuesday i had 41-42°C fever, almost got convulsions, I couldn't stand up on my own for more than 2-3 mins (I fainted two times when I tried to stand up longer) and my head was spinning. They put wet towels on me to help my body fight but they had to change them every 10 mins cuz they were warming up. After an hour of such treatment i was getting cold and shivering but they didn't want to stop... Anyway... those were some of the worst days of my life, that's for sure.

My fever got worse, i reached 39.8° C... i spent one of the worse nights of my life - i was so cold my whole body was shaking... i had to put on a winter jersey to feel warmed up a little. I have no idea why all this - why i got sick. I guess i'm just not lucky - the other time when i was in France i got sick just when the weather got better... Anyway i'm not allowed to do anything to warm up - and i'm so cold...

i'm on vacation again but i started it "with the left foot" as we say here. Either because i stayed too much in the sun, or because i slept with the windows wide opened, now i have fever *sighs and starts pouting*. Oh well i think i'll eat and go to sleep, maybe i'll feel better when i wake up. And i'll add the first photos of this vacation ;)

I learned yesterday how to draw celtic knots! Yupiiiiiiii! that`s what i`m gonna draw from now on :))
