stitchwhichI've been curious about the appeal of the TV show "Dexter". It is now on Netflix, so I've watched the first three episodes. I don't understand the gushing fanboi behaviour of the folks who've been watching it. Perhaps, like many of the long running TV series, the characters are not developed enough in the first few shows to actually grow on a person. Since I'm not able to think well (I gave myself until tomorrow to "just be sick"), I'm trying some more and am in the middle of episode number three. But I think I will soon be surfing the "documentary" selections soon.
My general "I've got a cold and I don't feel well at all" week capped itself on Thursday with a sinus & ear infection. My god, I do not remember ever having an ear infection before so I was taken by surprise by the extreme pain involved. Wow. A friend was in labour at the same time and I actually thought that I would be willing to trade positions with her. Yeah, it was that bad. Although it was also oddly fascinating, to be able to hear my breathing from the inside (it sounded like wind rushing in and out of a long dry tube) and my pulse pounded so loudly that I couldn't hear much else. I knew it would pass once the antibiotics took effect but I was a sad whiney woman for a while there.
Finally I caved in and took Tramadol (since I'm not allowed OTC pain drugs, which I would have preferred) and was able to lay down - with my husband's "back pain heating bandage" on my pillow where I could position my ear. That helped and I slept. I'd still be asleep if I didn't have a Rubbermaid tote full of baronial tablecloths to wash, dry, and fold before noon tomorrow. We'd completely forgotten that those came home from the event with us.
It amuses me that the extreme hunger I felt during my cold is now completely gone. I am apathetic, at best, concerning food. I should eat something, I know, since it has been about a day without, but I'm at a loss as to what. Nothing sounds appealing at all. It is so odd to boomerang from "food, I must eat!" to "meh" once the infection was checked.
And I'm nattering. Time to sign off.
