A Sick Sick V-day

I know you're thinking that "sick sick" must equal perversion. Of course, you'd only assume that if you've been reading regularly. But no, I really mean - YES we're STILL SICK. However, we are feeling better - we're just not feeling well. ::sigh::

The last few days have been a cold medicine blur. And after shelling out a copay so that the doctor can tell me, "yeah, there's nothing I can do. we're done here" and me saying something to the effect of "why should I stand in a line to checkout if you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?!" And then something like, "um, yeah, I'm thinking that if at the end of the day you still have me in the system - someone will figure that I did, indeed, leave."

But whatever.

So I'm only coughing/choking/not breathing a few times a day rather than once an hour. So that's good. And Mark and I were able to taste my favorite chinese takeout that we ate in front of the TV watching Judge Judy and Dr. Phil (does he love me or what?!) And while we watched Wedding Daze, we indulged in ice cream and personalized M&Ms that say "Mark + Aimee" I'd say things are definitely looking up.

We've decided to keep our fancy dinner reservations for tomorrow - and just hope that we can both taste by 6 p.m. tomorrow. (send good tasting vibes - omg, that's a search for another website. LOL)

And because the night has been so nice, I won't even elaborate on the poor kitty foaming at the mouth because he had to take really horrid antibiotics. Poor baby.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Updates & A Movie Review (sort of)

Updates:

Mark's grandma is still in the hospital. And the results of the tests she had last week indicate that she has mono and NOT cancer. Uh, you think they would be a little more careful about telling people they have cancer, or you know, something else. GRR.

I was going to give you an update on Chance, but you didn't know he had an owie yet. So it's not really an update. But whatever. Yesterday, Chance was walking to his bed and he made a loud OUCH! sound and then was limping. He apparently hurt is leg/foot. Mark and I both checked his foot to make sure he didn't step on something and then poked around on his leg to see if we could find a sore spot. But, we found nothing.

After a full night of sleep (and not walking around on his injury - which he INSISTED on doing for HOURS before bed), his leg seems better and he's not limping much at all. Yeah!!

Also, I left early on Friday to get a TB test for my new job. It was owie! I have to go in again today so they can look at the spot where the injected whatever they injected and tell me that I do not have TB. I'm guessing that's what they will tell me since my arm didn't fall off. Yeah!

Okay, so for my movie review. If you like to cry (GRRR) you will love The Guardian! Okay, to be fair...I really liked this movie. I was thinking, Wow! This would be a great date movie. It has the action stuff for the boys and the shmooshie love stuff for girls. But then, the crying. I'm not a good movie watcher in general. I tend to cry over the littlest things. I wasn't expecting this one to make me cry though. (hell, I wasn't expecting to like it). But now, Mark is in trouble because he had seen it and he KNEW it would make me cry. GRRR.

But, it was really good. Seriously. Put it on your netflix (or watch it on demand on starz). Just make sure you have kleenex (and waterproof mascara).
