Sick in Basel

Ok I've been sick since Tuesday and now it's a full blown cold. I'm desperate for my own bed, matzah ball soup, and crappy (American) TV. And before you e-mail me and ask if I've been to the doctor, the answer is no, since there is nothing a doctor can do for a viral infection. You basically just have to feed a cold and starve a fever, but I definitely don't have a fever so...

I went out for a little while today to look at the following items which I need to buy for my new apartment since it's like buying a place!

- Fridge (the one in the purple kitchen is only a 1/2 fridge, so I'm buying a full size)
- Iron
- Blender
- (2) TVs (flat screen please - if you have any recommendations I'm leaning towards the Sony Bravia)
- Wardrobes (yes it's Europe and they don't do built in closests for the most part)
- Another bed (Ikea here I come)
- Light fixtures (there are literally wires hanging from the ceiling since light fixtures aren't part of what you get when you move in!)
- DVD player
- Stereo (since my one from home won't work here)
- Vacuum
- Microwave
- Hand mixer
- Lamps (I have to have the three I own changed over)
- ???

It's exhausting thinking about it! But think of the fun shopping I get to do (I get CHF for relocation for just these types of things and the more I get used from those moving back to the states, the more money I get to bank!)

I'll be home in August for 10 days.
