The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)I was thinking if I should or shouldn’t spend the rare chance of going to the cinema by watching “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe“. I haven’t heard anything about this film before, except for a trailer that I saw once and didn’t particularly make anything of it. The rating on IMDB seemed high. So I decided to check it out.

Maxim is better, but not out of it yet

Maxim looks much better today. The temperature wasn’t there in the morning. It came back in the afternoon, but did climb higher than +38C. Then dropped. Then got back. But overall, he looks healthier and more active.

Because he still has the temperature, I guess we’ll be visiting Dr.Simos again tomorrow. There’s also a side effect from all the syrups we are giving him in a form of a few tiny red dots on his forehead and some more on his tummy.

He still eats good and drinks a lot though…

That’s a virus infection too

Maxim’s temperature didn’t go down, so we went to see Dr.Simos. He checked the kid thoroughly and said that Maxim’s throat is soar. He seems to have some sort of virus infection – nothing serious though.

Maxim was prescribed a couple of sirups that should easy up his throat and help fight the temperature. It is expected that by Wednesday he should be fully OK.

By the way – to those of you who trust only in “natural” ways of healing I have to say “Reconsider!”. I was once again amazed by the wonders of technology and progress today, when a sample was quickly taken from Maxim’s throat and analyzed with a bunch of chemicals, giving a rather precise result within 10 minutes – what was and what wasn’t there and what is the best way to fix it.

Amen to the technology!

P.S.: Oh, and the front upper teeth are coming too. We can almost see them.

Backposting record

Usually I blog every day. I write at least one post a day. But sometimes I am either too busy or too lazy to do so. When this happens I make either written or mental notes of a post that I want to write. Just to remember. And when I get out of my busy schedule or my lazyness, I write the actual text and backpost it (set the posting date to the day and time when I originally had the idea).

Normally, I get into my blogging mood pretty fast – one or two days, which is about five posts worth of blogging. I try to make the blogging vacations as short as possible, because it is very difficult to get back.

I was back from my blogging vacations yesterday, but I had so many posts postponed that I couldn’t bother. Today I said – “Enough!” and forced my sorry bottom to write everything down before my head would explode into tiny pieces.

Ladies and gentlemen – we have a backposting record! 15 posts were just backdated. Out of these 15 posts I had written notes of only 4. That means I had 11 posts in my head!

(the sound of standing ovations … Thank you! Thank you!)

I’ll try to never ever do it again, because it almosts hurts.
