Barf.
Sick. AGAIN. Legitimately, too. Uuuuggghhh. Fever spells today and everything. But, good news, I’ll live. I know you were worried 😛
I feel remarkably chill about this bout of the sickness. I’m not gonna stress over it, just let it pass, like all colds do. I’ll take my meds, try and move it along, but there’s not much you can do about a cold, you know? You kinda just have to tough it out.
Oh, and I broke our DirecTV. Kinda. I called technical support, and I should have known better. We get what’s called a “demo” account through the people that run the dish for our building…and that means we don’t actually have an account through DirecTV, and I’m sure that makes it look like we’re stealing service. So, they promptly blocked us. Our service provider couldn’t do anything on their end to fix it without sending a tech out, which is happening Monday. Le sigh.
The Ho and I watched The Shape of Water tonight. It was…okay. A very sweet, very simple, very beautiful film…but also a pastiche that never really sold the love story, which was the one thing that movie needed to sell. It’s a movie for romantics, and for that reason alone I recommend watching it; but don’t expect it to blow you away. You’ll like it fine enough. More specific thoughts on that for my 100 movies review, which I’ll write up tomorrow.
The pups continue to be adorable. They’re both on top of Liz right now, and Coops is licking her hand. Oh, now he’s back to licking his paw. I used to think he did that because they were irritated, or something, and I’d check them to see if they were inflamed or bleeding…but, no: he licks his paws to keep them clean, and he’s rather fastidious about them. He doesn’t like walking anywhere except the sidewalk because the grass and dirt get his paws dirty, and he has to stop and clean them immediately if they ever get a stick, leaf, or other bramble on them.
Anywho…it’s 1am, so it’s time for sleeps. I hope I feel better tomorrow. Wish me luck 😉
