I started my vacation by staying up way to late to finish reading a novel that had gotten good. I didn’t turn off the lights until near 4am this morning.
Robert woke me around 10:30 when he decided to walk the dogs.
Insert a little internet time here.
Then we watched a couple of episodes of A Pup Named Scooby Doo. I napped a little while it was on.
While watching them Robert finally gave in and too the Cipro that he swore he would not take because he didn’t like the side effects. Shortly after taking it he began to manifest one, single, solitary side effect……he got sleepy.
Now I don’t know about you, but I quite often get sleepy when I take antibiotics.
Well, it sent Robert into a panic. Then he swore his fingers were tingling, and he and I spent most of the next hour calling various doctors and pharmisists.
Meanwhile I’m concerned that Robert has developed an alarming case of hypochondria. He’s had way to many dr visits lately, and none of them are finding anything wrong with him. He keeps researching symptoms and side effects online, and then POOF he has them. At one point he was convinced he has salmonella.
While he was in panic mode I made a pizza, and even though I followed the directions EXACTLY the pizza turned out crap. My lunch sucked.
Anyway, all the doctors said he would be fine (I don’t think he beleived them) and I finally convinced him he would not die if he just SLEPT and would feel better for it afterwards.
He did (sleep), he didn’t (die) and he did (feel better).
I internetted while he slept. When he woke up he put in an old horror movie called Frogs. I got bored with it before anyone ever died and went to lay in bed and read. Only, I fell asleep again.
Robert woke me at supper time. His mom fried catfish. She always fries catfish on Saturday. Specially for Robert.
Since he was feeling better we went to return some movies to blockbuster, then I tried to find some playing cards at dollar tree. I wanted two matching sets so we can play canasta. They only had packs of two…two non matching packs. I didn’t need 4 packs of cards so I didn’t buy them.
Came back home, Robert put Frogs back in. He had apparantly stopped it while I napped. So I played on pogo.com until it was over.
After that we watched Cloverfield, which was okay. I think I would have liked it better if it wasn’t shot the way it was.
When it was over he put in Alien Vs. Predator Requiem. I told him I’d rather watch something I hadn’t seen before. “Like what” he asked. I rattled off a few movies I hadn’t seen yet (Silent Hill and Hostel 2 were on the list)
Suddenly he didn’t feel like watching anything. He wanted to go to sleep.
I said, “Screw it. I’ll watch Silent Hill with Tim next time he visits”
I get tired of having to watch all the movies I want to see alone. If I want to watch a movie WITH him he has to be something HE picks out and we usually have different tastes in movies. He tends to like comedys and chick-flicks or sci-fi movies older than I am. I tend to like bad horror and slasher movies, the more gore the better.
He’s not sleeping now, rather watching True Lies on tv while I washed dishes then sat over here to blog.
Tomorrow I think I’m going to lock myself in my craft room. It needs a good cleaning. I can watch Psych back there if he’s not taping something. Maybe I’ll write or do some ATCs.
And I’ll try to answer the newest questions on my Q & A tomorrow, so put in a question if you want to and you have not yet.
