Stucked...

No, I'm not stucked...nausea is stucked in my body, and I don't like it very much...today I've felt slightly better, really slightly...I had a bigger breakfast today and brought two jello's (I don't know the word but it's the flavored jelly I think) so I was pretty much ok until 11.30 - 12 am, not perfect but managing...but now I'm feeling a little worse....

Despite the calmness that these symptoms give me, I'm a little worried about our upcoming little trip, I mean, we have to cross over the mountains!! The Andes Mountains!!! So that means a veeery curvy road....special for nausea!!! And well, being there and feeling bad, it's certainly something I don't want!!! I only hope that if I have a big breakfast and take some food for the road, I will be able to manage!!!!

On another subject, I'm a little pissed with my friends...university friends...see, I tend to be a natural organizer, I don't know how but I always end up organizing things. But along with that, I'm pretty structured, so I like things to be well defined as soon as possible.

So now I was organizing the "secret friend" (It's a typical game here that's "played" in Christmas time, that consists in that you put everyone's name in a bag and then everybody takes out one paper and whoever she/he gets, it's the person she/he has to give a Christmas present...it's used mainly at work (so you don't have to give everyone a present) or in big groups, sometimes in families also), and one friend offered her house to get together to give out the gifts, and everyone agreed...but then, late in the afternoon, another one says "it can be in my house too"....I know there's nothing wrong, apparently...but for me, the organizer, it sucks, because that means waiting for EVERYONE to agree or not agree, of course half of them don't read their mails because they're "so busy working", so then come the infinite calls "where is it?"....so I decided that we should stick to the original plan and do it in the first friend's house.

But to my closest friends (with whom we write emails everyday) I told them I was upset....but my friends (one of them) considered there was nothing wrong and that I was too complicated....

But then again, I'm the one organizing, so if they don't like my style, I don't do it...I mean, it really pisses me off that people think they have the right to criticize and make you feel bad for your organizing style, when they're not able to do it, you know what I mean? So next year I will tell that "relaxed super cool" friend that she organizes it....see if she finds it that easy to coordinate 17 working girls, most of them with kids and all...

I'm sorry, I really needed to get this out!!!!

Will keep you informed about tomorrow's u/s...although it's at 6 pm (-4 or 3, I'm not sure due to summer hours gmt), and then we have to pack because we're leaving friday at sunrise!! like 6 am!, but well, I'll try to leave some update!!

Oh good luck with the curvy road drive. The thoughts of it make me nauseated, but if you do by your suggestions, I'm sure you'll be fine. Can't wait to hear an update about the u/s. Take care.

I am a planner too and get annoyed when there is a kink in the plan. But realize that the other girl was probably just trying to be considerate and offer her home as an option. I think you did the right thing by declining the offer and going with the original plan.

Some people will never understand why you were upset so it is best to just let it go.

By the way- we often call a Christmas Gift Exchange "Secret Santa" in the US.

Good luck on yor trip!
