How is it the Grand Bazaar is Never Open?

Yesterday morning I somehow invited a wasp into my pants and got stung repeatedly on the ankle. That was not fun. It swelled up and made it difficult to walk the rest of the day, which, as anyone living in Istanbul knows, is inconvenient. Later on, we went to the Grand Bazaar again because it was Saturday, and it is "open" that day. It has always been closed before, because we somehow always try to go on Sunday, when it is closed. It was closed this time, too because of the holiday, but a few shops were open.

In the evening I had death-by-flu/stomach flu. Still feel feverish and yucky today, but most of the stomach bug seems to be gone. I still have some nasty head cold thing though. If I got it from the roommate, I'm looking at three weeks of misery as I hack, cough, sneeze and sniffle my way to healthier days.

Today is partly cloudy. We may go out to the kids' park later and let Maria play on the toys. I don't know if I'm up to much more than that.

Lazy cat is practicing sleeping in the sunny spot on the couch while Maria does leg exercises on the other couch and sings little songs about people riding bikes. She is happy again today =)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and a Happy Republic Day (tomorrow).

This is me, signing off...
