Ibuprofen and a Ritter Sport for lunch
Want to know what kind of day I'm having? I just had 3 Ibuprofen (yes, I brought my own big ol' American bottle, none of this 12 euro-pills in a blister pack thing for me) and a Ritter Sport hazelnut bar for lunch. It's one of those days.
I started not by oversleeping or anything like that - instead, I checked the wrong appointment list for midterms. I thought the first appointment was at 10.30. Then, as I'm drinking caffé and looking at my appointment book for the day at about 9.29 I realize that the first appointment was at 9.00. I was looking at the wrong day!
So I run out the door leaving everything behind but a notebook and pen and start making calls and sending text messages. I reach everyone and they're all remarkably forgiving. I make it to the Velabro by 10.15 and get started. I get home after 7 appointments (one of them agreed to wait until Monday, since she wanted to catch a train to Florence at noon) and took my first Ibuprofen of the day. You see, my affliction is flaring up this week and I should have taken a does before I left the house. I may even try some of the prescription anti-inflammatory if it's not better by tomorrow - I have a few more appointments tomorrow morning.
The Ritter Sport helped. Chocolate always does.
