Tuesday, June 13. My birthday.

We had spoken for three days when she said she was deleting her profile. I generally don't ask for contact information of someone I have only just met.

Update on my illness.

I am alive, yes, but that cough is insanely annoying. I have bought some medical supplies to help me relieve the cough. Namely some cough drops and something called Benylan, which is a cough syrup. Hopefully I will be rid of the cough in a few days time

Update on my illness.

I can see a doctor whenever I want to, but I am only going there when it's giving me a cause of worry. This doesn't, so I don't go

I am 99% sure someone gave me covid..

We do have them here in Denmark - we just have to buy them. Some places, like schools, offer them for free, but in general, we have to pay for our own tests. It's not the most expensive thing, though. I saw a 2 pack for 50 DKK, which is $7.26.

I did make some mistakes, yes. I am usually pretty safe when it comes to these things, so it was a lapse of judgement by my hand. Not my brightest moment, for sure.

Masks aren't required here, but yes. It was indeed reckless. I called in sick Tuesday and Wednesday

I want to go back!

I have no desire to become American. I am very proud of being Danish, and that's something I will always be.

I do want to go to Ireland at some point

Making plans for the USA! (part 10!)

20 hours is more than enough.

If I run out if data, I'm just gonna use the WiFi available :)

Making plans for the USA! (part 9!)

I did not meet her here. I met her in a random Facebook group a long time ago. I have known her for about 15 years or so. I forgot the exact date, but it's definitely been more than 10 years.

I am flying with Lufthansa in economy. At the moment, my finances doesn't allow me to buy a business class ticket, because that is VERY expensive. Even upgrading to business class is 18.554 kroner, which in US dollar is $2717.

I simply do not have that kind of money available. I bet 1st class would be even more expensive, but the plane I am flying with doesn't have 1st class available

I COULD ask at the airport if any upgrades are available.

I don't need any medication, luckily. Yes, if I forget something, like my toothbrush, I can buy a new one. That's my mindset with traveling: Bring only what you really need. The rest can be bought at your destination :)

It's a holiday for a week..

We're entering Easter time.

No, I do not smoke pot..

The three days of work..

Finding a date is hard - so I am giving up.

It has crossed my mind recently to just give up looking for a girlfriend, so who knows what will happen if I do..

I am definitely not paying for Tinder. It's way too expensive..

Finding a date is hard - so I am giving up.

I am on Tinder. 5 likes, but I have to pay to see who it is. I might actually just pay the price it costs to see who liked me..

I have no idea what this means.. At all..

New Monster Energy flavor is..

I know energy drinks are bad for you, but it's not like I am drinking a lot of them.. Maybe 1 or 2 per week. Usually I stick with soda or water. Soda, when I need a dose of sugar quickly, and water when it gets hot in at work

It's Valentine's Day..

Ha no . It's blink-182. They made a song called All The Small Things. I thought the gif was quite a good fit seeing I name dropped that song title

The state of my union is...

All very true, but I think that they will have solved that issue in the future. Possibly by installing solar cells on the roof of the cars as standard. That way, on bright sunny days, the batteries would be recharged. When the days are not sunny, some form of kinetic wizardry might take place to make sure that the batteries are being recharged. But we'll wait and see.

Regarding the speech, I didn't see it because it's not relevant to me. At least not yet

Helping a coworker move went a bit.. Unexpected..

The tyre got hot because of the friction. It was pretty warm to the touch, so it was only a matter of time before something went horribly wrong :)

The gif is from a YouTube channel called Dead Meat, where they tally up the victims in all your favourite horror films.

False advertising, that's what it is..

I do need some hot sauce, so I can cover the wings in it.

I never deep fry my chicken wings. They are always made in the oven

Saying goodbye is never easy - but it had to be done!

Mature.. No..

Winning the lottery - again.

This is a different lottery. We have a number of lotteries here. We have the standard Lotto lottery, but we also have small lotteries :). The one I am currently playing is called Klasselotteriet, where you buy different tickets. Each ticket comes with a maximum amount you can win. In my case, it's 2 million Danish kroner. The one you are thinking of is probably Euromillions, where the maximum you can win is over 700 MILLION kroner. I think the record was 749 million, which ONE person won. Imagine winning 749 million..

Winning the lottery - again.

The max you can win is 290 thousand dollars :)

Making plans for the USA! (part 6)

Oh my cousin is Danish. She's just extremely in love with America, as is her husband. She told me that if she could ever settle down anywhere outside Denmark, it would be in Tennessee

Ha yeah, I know . Packing heat is not warm clothes..

Making plans for the USA! (part 6)

I am bringing a sizeable amount of money with me, so I won't be doing any budget things. I do want to experience good food for cheap, so I have more money to buy souvenirs.

The Air and Space museum is already on the list of things I want to experience. Isn't that where they have a space shuttle on display? If so, I will definitely see that!

Museums in general are on my list of places to visit.

Today's been one of those days..

Luckily, we didn't have to do any spring cleaning, because it was up and running today

The new hire is in trouble..

Nobody works for me. I am a regular employee. I'm just saying what I see. Someone not doing their job properly.
