Raining and chilly..................

It's 5:30 Sunday morning. Or late Saturday night depending on how you see it. I have been awake since 4 a.m. I have tossed about so much I am sore again. Went through the same thing yesterday morning. I was so dizzy yesterday and not feeling well. I was able to drift back to sleep and when I woke up again at 10 a.m. I felt quite ill. All week my sinuses were bothering me but now my throat and chest hurt as well. I called the doctor who insisted I come in. Strep. Grrrrrr. This is the result of a coworker whose children both had strep. She came to work coughing all over the place and of course used the computer I most often use. Despite hand washing and such, germs seem to manage to survive and often I seem susceptible to strep. I filled my antibiotics and am already feeling somewhat better. I also made a pot of homemade chicken soup which is the only thing that really seems to help a sore throat.

It was 80 on Thursday here. People were out in shorts and flip flops. It was hot. The following day the temperature hit 60 and was in the high 50s for today. It's been raining nonstop but we needed that rain. Our lawn is greening up and I see some tulips blooming in the garden where the daffodils are already done. It's so great to walk outside and see what is in bloom.

Yesterday Rob and I watched several episodes of a new HBO series about polygamy. It's really interesting and quite amusing. The man keeps popping Viagra after he has some continuously frustrating nights. BIG LOVE is the name of it. I personally think that anyone who has ever been married has to wonder why anyone would want multiple spouses. Trying to have a good relationship with ONE person is hard enough but trying to please several at the same time. The show explores some of the obvious problems such as jealousy and some of the wives being materiastically driven to have more. It's interesting and I think rather well done. We now find ourselves watching certain shows and taping others because there are so many on Sunday evening that we are interested in. I never thought this could happen to me. I went six months without a television being turned on in my old house.
