The last week of January coming up, and I have the finishing line in sight. That means a lot of work to do. I really got set back by the sickness this month, still am, in fact. I did what I promised, called the doc, and I’ll see him tomorrow afternoon for some drugs and clarity on what ails me. Hopefully, that means, this time next week when we ring in the new month of February, I’ll be feeling more like myself and ready to get some shit done 😛
All in all, though, it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve sucked it up and kept moving forward. And, I’m now an even bigger believer in drugs, even the over the counter kind, than I ever was before. They can really mask some symptoms, the nyquils, and the dayquils, and the benadryls, and the cough suppressants of the world. This cough syrup, for example, that I got yesterday is a freaking miracle. The cough I have is legit, and almost took me out a couple nights ago. It was dicey. I couldn’t stop. But last night, with this new cough syrup, I was untouchable. Slept the whole night. I was actually quite a bit more rested than I thought I would be, waking up this morning. Another factor was Liz buying us a humidifier. It has been so freaking dry out here, I can’t even begin to wrap my head around it. Even today, the day after some drizzling took place…
This has been a winter for the record books. Literally. Unbelievably dry.
We watched the rest of Homeland tonight, which keeping with tonight’s theme finished strong. Boom. See what I did there? Didn’t even plan that shit. But yeah…kind of a crap season, guys, to be completely honest with you. Liz and I have been watching from the very first episode. Season 1 was freaking AWESOME, except for the end, and then season 2 was so SO fucking good…for about the first 2/3 of the season, and then it went down hill. Fast. Credibility and groundedness in reality kind of went out the window, and then Season 3 was mostly just crap. I know, that’s counter to how most people felt about this season, but it’s the way both Liz and I felt about it. And then, all of the sudden, the last three or four episode arc of this past season and it’s back to being an amazing show.
Homeland and I, we have mixed feelings about each other. For a while, it was everything that “24” never was: gritty, realistic, deeply flawed characters. But then, it started becoming more and more “24”, which even in its finest moments, was amazingly over the top and heightened. That’s definitely not bad, per se, but when a show changes the rules so quickly, it’s like having the rug pulled out from underneath you.
Anyway…sleep times. Liz is stressed about wedding stuff, and hopefully scheduling some of this stuff out will alleviate that. We’ll see.
