Did I Just Get A Workout?

I am going to be real honest, I have no idea what I have been doing since my last entry. I know that I weeded, picked tomatoes, i sprayed squash for fungus, I finished making a bed for vegetables, I planted cabbage, watered all the vegetables (I want sprinklers for my garden!!) and I feel like crap. Last night I had leftover Ratatouille and pasta and Christian made some homemade french fries. He informed me that this region of France has the specialty of fois gras. It seems like a lot of things that change in America he is not sure of. Like he heard that some places in America banned fois gras and he does not know if it is because it is cruelty to animals(having a funnel shoved down the animals' throat for 5 hours before it is killed) or if it is a display of anti-French. I do not offer my opinions on these topics.

I ended off the night by watching "A dinner for schmucks" on Christian's laptop. It was originally done in French and so I watched it with English subtitles. I did not really get to listen to the French, but I did enjoy the movie. It reminded me of Mr. Bean a bit.

This morning I got up an hour later than usual (eight) and made myself some breakfast. After I did a couple of the items I listed above I just sat. My allergies have been getting worse and I took benedril last night and this morning. My nose won't stop running, but at least my headache is gone.

After Christian left to go into Toulouse, I was left with Fanny's father for a bit. I made some food and since her father was cutting of the electric for a bit, I decided I should go back to bed. I took a two hour nap and woke up to a note her father left saying "bye! au revoir! a demain gerard." I feel better than this morning, but I still feel bad. I cannot tell if I am getting the flu or just not used to the work that I have been doing. It does not even seem like it has been that much but I guess carrying 5L buckets of water back and forth is a workout.

I was going to explore the village and maybe take a bike ride to the nearby village, but I think I am just going to sit and drink water and relax. I do not know what will be in store for me tomorrow and I want to be prepared and feeling my best.
