TiVo saves

Ah, the healing properties of TiVo! Yesterday my throat started feeling scratchy, and it turned into a seriously sore throat by the time we got home from our revelry, so I stayed home from work to nap with Zen and watch recorded episodes of “Monk” and “Doctor Who”. I also took a lot of zinc and other vitamins, and ate hot and sour soup and drank Emergen-C and juice. Now I’m feeling a bit better.

Zen doesn’t know what to do with me today. She tries to curl up on my laptop, and when I gently move her to sit beside me, she walks to the other end of the couch and yowls at me. Then when I finally let her curl up as close to my laptop as she can be without lying on it, she yowls at me. So I shrug and she jumps off the couch to nestle into the tissue paper I have so thoughtfully left for her on the floor. We have done this about ten times.

Whew, typing all that out made me sleepy again. Good night.

    I know the feeling. Getting up on one elbow to look at the clock can tire you out when you’re really sick. You have the right idea about hibernating until you’re better. As long as there’s somebody around to bring you soup and tea.

    I thought Netflix would be my escape this weekend, but three DVDs does not last out a long weekend. Tivo sounds wonderful to me right about now. I need to seriously consider it if and when I become more financially independent.

    Get better, Girlie!
