The tooth is giving me trouble whole week. I mostly sleep it off, specially today. Woke up rather early, when she went to Čankovo on bicycle (has a license, but won't drive). Made her special tea, fresh mint (that I mowed with the scythe and now it grew even thicker) and camomille (which grows in the middle yard there, specially now that Bobi is gone).
Then I took a nap on one of the couches and woke up only when Lena called (via skype, so I saw her and she saw me) - in a bit of a panic, her bathroom being flooded, water coming from the bottom of the water heater. She called the plumber and he said he'd come within 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we were trying to stop the flood - the it leaked a lot, as if when filling a tub. She first made a vessel from one of those 6l water bottles, but that fills in 20s. Then I said to try to do something with the shower curtain, to divert the water into the tub or toilet. That turned out to be a stroke of genius :).
The guy did come even faster than those 20 minutes, so she was mostly away from the camera, and told me she sometimes feels like the guy from Švankmajer's "Apartment", and sent me this „[This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by KRÁTKÝ FILM PRAHA a.s.]“ link to watch the movie. Somewhere through the 2nd half, all of a sudden, I started feeling a bit dizzy, nauseous, sweating, my sight going a bit gray at times... for a moment I thought that it would be funny to die like this, and wouldn't want Lena to watch while I do it, so... well, breathe deep, whatever your organism is trying to achieve, oxygen won't hurt.
Few minutes later, when I came about, I was leaning on my right desk, with my nose on the laptop and right ear on the edge (which probably woke me up once the blood pressure and whatnot came back closer to normal). Haven't fainted like this since... well, about 40 years ago.
She dropped by a pharmacy on her way back. The one she had in mind was closed, but there was the old social one (i.e. not private) in Lesnina. The funny dialogue:
pharmacist: this is by a doctor's recommendation?
she: my recommendation, therefore a doctor's. Is now a prescription required for antibiotics? I was buying them like this since forever.
ph: but how come you don't know this, as a doctor?
she: I'm unemployed.
ph (stumped... never saw an unemployed doctor in her fifties): but... it was on the TV
she: I don't have a TV.
We are a phenomenon.
