since I can't sleep...
I was totally fine this morning, now I have a cold, wtf?!

It just came on as I was watching tv this evening. First my nose started running, then my chest got all congested and now I have a sore throat to boot. Great.

I have some TheraFlu, but I'd really like a bottle of NyQuil. I don't even remember what any of the cold remedies are in Japan. They've been having more and more commercials for those items on tv lately, so I guess I'd just better keep a memo pad handy.

In other news, I got a used car mag just to see what's out there. I think I'm going to go with a hatchback or a wagon. As much as I thought I wouldn't drive much and therefore a minivan would be a pretty good choice too, I went downtown by bus today. Round-trip bus fare cost almost 700 yen. Now I remember why I haven't been going downtown much to hang out. While once I get a car I don't imagine going downtown much due to the lack of parking, all the shopping malls around here have free/discounted parking (w/purchase). I could totally see myself doing that on weekends/after work to get stuff for the apartment, do some grocery shopping, buy some clothes, etc... I'm looking at taking the plunge with my Jan. paycheck.

I had a few other things I wanted to put up but I'm not feeling up to it atm. Hopefully tomorrow.

It's getting really scary!!
All our classes are suddenly so small! Down by 50%. Most students are down with the flu or their classes in school are closed because someone caught the new flu and then they're not allowed to come to our eikaiwa as well.
And the rest of students who still come wear masks and are coughing and sneezing.
As you know I also caught a cold last week Wednesday ... now one week later I just feel as horrible as on day 1 (-___-)
That will be a horrible winter, I tell ya!

Get well soon!

Thanks! Yeah, I expect attendance here to start going down a bit as well. I might have to get the flu vaccine.

You should get it, yes.

Urf. The Japanese remedy is called "Ruru" (that's what it sounds like in class). Unless you mean Contac.

Pictures of the car when you get it.

almost - there are a handful of medicines like Contac out there. I wasn't a big Contac fan back home, so I was looking for something else. I saw one that had 3 different varieties that each targeted different symptoms. I just need to make a list of which medicines treat what ailments.

IF I get a car, it won't be until late Jan at the earliest, so don't hold your breath. (Of course I'll post pics if I do. ;)
