Tonsillitis

Came down with tonsillitis. Spent most of Sunday and today in bed, drifting in and out of consciousness; Sunday my fever was around 39–40 °C (102–104 °F), today it seems to have gone down but I'm still very tired. (Having to get up several times during the night didn't help.)

So anyway, I'm on penicillin now, so I'm going to find out whether I'm allergic to it or not :) No adverse effects so far, though, and I took my first table about three hours ago.

Postcrossing

I found out about Postcrossing a while back from [personal profile] chasy. And it's fun!

The idea is that you register, then you send postcards to random people (each time you click on "Send a postcard", you get a random user picked for you and get their address displayed), and get postcards from other random people in return! And it's kind of addictive. Especially to see things from other countries.

So far, I've sent postcards to Finland, Spain, the US, Japan, and France, and there's one for China sitting on my desk waiting to be posted, and I got a postcard back from the Netherlands!

Fun stuff. Especially, for me, writing addresses in other alphabets "properly" :) The Chinese and Japanese people only inputted ASCII versions of their addresses, so that's what I was shown, but both responded to a private message asking how to write their name and address properly.
