Give the Earth a short break...

Music: various – at this moment “Hejira” by Joni Mitchell
Mood: very, very tired and sleepy
In my glass: …thinking if I should pour in Côtes du Rhône…

Have been down with flu, been in bed for 5 days. Yesterday, for the first time since Thursday, got up and went outside to walk Fox only one block. Well, I wanted to stay one more day in bed but alas, I had to work. Aaahhh… Friday I had a fever of 39.5°C and had pain everywhere in my body.
I was really glad that Fox was so co-operative; I couldn’t take him for a walk so I let him out in the backyard – very quickly every time. Cats were not too co-operative but very sweet to keep me company all the time.

Anyway, I’m so relieved now that I’m feeling better again (now about 80%).

Tomorrow night (Feb. 1) at 19:55 CET, we are going to turn off all the lights in the house. I believe it’s an European campaign on French initiative to make a statement, while IPCC has a meeting in Paris. Well, it’s not very much to turn lights off for 5 minutes. But then, even only for 5 minutes, the Earth can have a short rest. That’s an idea.
And of course, we should be conscious in our every day life. Just a small effort could make a big difference.. I hope.
Hmmm… if I’d go to bed one hour earlier every night… could I save a small amount of energy? Hhmmmm… then I’d use the same amount of energy in the morning maybe….. Need to think.
