chicken soup

The last couple of days I've been working hard with my headhunter despite the fact I felt sad about Ton. Yesterday I visited a potential client downtown DC, and got caught up in the middle of a demonstration against the war in Iraq. When I was younger in Amsterdam, I have seen some demonstrations. The Netherlands, country of liberty and freedom of speech .. there's always a reason to find for a demonstration or strike. Our country is known for it's Union climate; all of our major industries and even the government have unified labor and contract agreements sealed with the Unions. And If we feel bad, I guess we demonstrate or strike. When I was working for a short period of time in the UK, I was surprised about the charming way of settling things when there would be a problem arising; Tea. Yes, my dearest TEA.

Over a cup of tea many arguments and conflicts are settled. Amazing isn't it?? I feel bad about Ton;I lost my voice for a day after my normal soft spoken voice was violated when I screamed out loud for hours after I heard about Ton; and as a result I cough and sound as sick old dog. King has been working on his novel, and a screen play so we've been texting instead of talking. As I mentioned before he wants to spend time with me, but I cannot leave to CA until I've seen Ton and wrap things up here. So what is the best thing this Angry Asian Cookie can do, to make herself feel better?

1. Listen to my favorite music;

2. Play with Vlindertje;

3. Write, write, write;

4. Normally talk with friend but with this voice...nope

5. Chicken Soup and cake

Yes, chicken soup, I don't know why but in my family we made chicken soup and cake when we feel abit under the weather. As if everything could be resolved with cake and chicken soup. Nowadays I think the chicken soup does cure flu, or colds... There's nothing natural about chicken anymore. There's is a battery antibiotics stock in each chicken.. so fresh made chicken soup equals free antibiotics over the counter for the flu, a cold and in my case my cough and my blues....And the cake.. of course it must be chocolate cake... no frosting hmmmmm

It's not so bad to be under the weather...under these circumstances.
