i must be cursed

been home sick all week with the most painful ear infection i can ever remember. i have suffered from ear infections before (i swear im cursed); i remember one time when i was little i had one and we were flying home to dallas from israel (or vise versa, it happened so often i get confused) and if you have ever experienced an ear infection it's worse times 1,000,000 when flying, the pressure was unbearable and i was like 8; i just remember my mom had to sit with me on the back row while i screamed and cried in pain.

this is just as bad, if not worse. it began with a terrible sore throat sunday and by the evening my ear was throbbing and it felt like it was going to explode. dekel just layed in bed with my while i cried. i used some ear drops and popped some advil and suprisingly the pain subsided and i was able to sleep for a few hours, till i woke up in the middle of the night with the unbearable pain again. monday morning i went to the dr and he just perscribed me some antibiotics (pills) to take, but i knew i needed more treatment than that. i was weak from not eating now for like 2 days and bf took me to see an ear specialist who had to drain my ear (ew, i know). this was so painful, but immediatly after the fact the pressure was less. i just need to get some sleep. it's now tuesday evening and i can barely hear, the pain has moved from my ear to my neck and jaw, but at least its not throbbing anymore. anything to keep it from throbbing. i had to shower, but had to keep my ear dry. you should have seen it, i used a cotton ball, plastic sandwich bag and hair clip to keep my poor little ear dry while i showered. i am feeling a wee bit better, now just with a headache and a little appetite.

this pretty much sums up my week: 

to stay preoccuied while sick i have been watching desperate housewives, sex & the city, grey's anatomy, ellen, E!, etc....

what gets you through when sick?

v-day inspired

Israel has its own "Valentine's Day," called "Yom Ha'ahava" = "love day," which usually falls in the summertime, according to the Jewish calendar. However, many Israelis do celebrate the American Valentine's Day on the 14th, but boyfriend was oblivious. I reminded him that's it's coming up, but clarified that I really want to do something fun and easy to celebrate our love for each other.

If we were going to celebrate Valentine's Day to the max, here is what would happen:

i would decorate my home with lots & lots of flowers
(think Bed of Roses):
we would indulge in decident treats that are usually reserved for special occasions:
we would cuddle up on the couch for a movie and i would feel sexy in:
