Day Three - Cabin Fever

So here is my update. I am STILL sick. And wouldn't you know it, many of my work cohorts are sick, too and have been sick almost exactly the duration I have been - oy, whirlwind.


Today was different. I would normally revel in a day off from work but let's face it – I am sick of being sick. My head still hurts and I still have that that 75 year old – geriatric whiskey and ciggies cough, only I am sober with the exception of the oodles of illness libations I have been concocting.




My lone trip to the store this morning was simply for necessity and air. Another beautiful day missed and gone and while the sun was shining, I had the shivers.


On a happy note? I had bitchin' Indian food for lunch that was so spicy hot that I think it burned a hole into my fever. And since Mr. A now works for home, I had my feathers fanning and grapes fed to me all day. Kitty also got to sit outside since we were both here to keep our eyes on her.




Couch Potato TV update:




As of 4 AM this morning, whether it was too much Vitamin C too late at night or mixing too many cold surplus supplies, I watched a marathon of the show, "Jon and Kate plus 8" – the story of a family with two parents, a set of twins and a set of sextuplets. I ordinarily would find this stuff a little humdrum as I once was a nanny for a set of quadruplets, but eight kids are eight kids and let me tell you, a six hour feverish marathon of diapers, potties and feedings actually kept me in stitches. So darling. The parents are very likeable and the kids are really adorable.




I watched "American Gigolo" this afternoon. I'd seen it before but failed to realize that whomever did the music took the song "Call me" from Blondie and turned it into 25 different songs. That is, "Call me" is played throughout the entire movie in MUZAK -- sometimes with synthesizers, sometimes in porn chime and mostly, just annoying….wasn't the opening credits with the REAL song playing enough?? But hi, can we talk about a wee bit of full frontal from Mr Gere??




I think my couch potato days are about to come to an end though. As of this moment, I think I can comfortably say the storm is passing and to be fair, I am over it. Lovelies, stay healthy and TAKE YOUR VITAMINS!
