Wow I am amazed how warm it feels out this morning.\u00a0 I think it’s only in the mid-twenties and I worked up a sweat on the walk to the office, wearing a light jacket.\u00a0 Everything is relative I guess.<\/p>\n
That was a pseudo-lame weekend, due in part to the fact that I was pseudo-sick.\u00a0 I spent most of last week really<\/em> sick, afflicted with quite possibly the worst sore throat of my life.\u00a0 I even went to the doctor on Wednesday, when the fever started kicking in.\u00a0 Not that it really helped anything, as usual.\u00a0 He gave me a bottle of pills about the size of my thumb.\u00a0 Gee, thanks Doc;\u00a0 I can’t even swallow a drink of water, much less a freaking gigantic pill.\u00a0 Oh well, it cleared up eventually.\u00a0 Hopefully I lost some of my extra holiday poundage over the course of my four-day fast.\u00a0 Ever the optimist.\u00a0 By Friday, I was actually feeling “OK” at best, so on the way home from work I hopped off the bus at Linwood and met Donette at Costco for happy hour.\u00a0 We kicked around checking out all the latest merchandise and munching on the hor d’oeuvres for a good hour and a half or so, then headed home for a night of movies.\u00a0 I signed up for Netflix again, solely for the purpose of checking out their “streaming movies” offering.\u00a0 So far, I rate it “The Coolest Thing I Have Ever Seen.”\u00a0 After spending about ten minutes getting it all set up, I can instantly stream movies to my new PS3 wirelessly.\u00a0 It works perfectly too, no stuttering or buffering or any of the problems I was expecting.\u00a0 They have a somewhat limited number of movies available for streaming, so I don’t know how long my fascination will hold, but I’m good for several months at least.<\/p>\n Saturday I was feeling relatively human, so when Martin called around 2:00 to tell me that he & Brice were up at Kennedy’s, I sprang out of bed, got dressed, and rushed up there.\u00a0 It was definitely good to get out of the house for a while;\u00a0 Watched the Missouri game and a bit of the football playoffs, and worked in some good planning on the BBQ’s that we’ll never do this coming summer.\u00a0 That was about it for the day though;\u00a0 Didn’t want to push my luck.<\/p>\n Sunday started off strong;\u00a0 Donette woke up with some kind of unusual motivation and made pancakes for breakfast.\u00a0 I don’t know exactly what prompted this flurry of activity, and I wasn’t asking.\u00a0 Just enjoy the moment.\u00a0 I didn’t share any of her energy though;\u00a0 About 3-ish she headed out to watch a movie with some friends, while Gabe & I settled in on the couch for a day of TV.\u00a0 I didn’t even feel bad about it really…\u00a0 There were some entertaining games on all day, and it was still relatively nasty outside.\u00a0 I’ve about had it with the snow I think, as have the dog and cat.\u00a0 Poor lil’ animals are about bored to tears but there’s about three feet of snow in the back yard that isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow I am amazed how warm it feels out this morning.\u00a0 I think it’s only in the mid-twenties and I worked up a sweat on the walk to the office, wearing a light jacket.\u00a0 Everything is relative I guess.
