I was sick from Fri. to today and IWFG. I thought it was a cold at first, but Sat., the 24-hr insurance advice nurse said it was flu. I slept alot  and watched Tivo when I was awake. I've given up expectations about a happy shiny family thing, in good way. It was nice to have options that I had to cancel and  it was nice to stay home.  I'm good with contentment.  Being at home with a loaded Tivo and 3 pets who I love/who love me is good enough.  I talked to all sibs by phone and ran in/out of mom's with presents for the (adult) nephews on a quick run for Theraflu and food on Sunday.  I felt good enough to walk into/around town with 2 neighbors & dog,  then pull weeds for awhile, on Monday, so, a teeny bit of exercise. The Elks Club was deserted, so I explored to locate their pool and sauna, and we located the nearby private school's pool,  where Master's Swim meets in the AM. I suppose locating swimming pools is a hobby of mine.

Season 5 of "24" was So. Much. Fun! Very exciting, great pacing. I can't imagine watching it week by week. There was a name check of Jane Espenson!  My new glasses are the same as Audrey's!  Smith (Thief-Lite) was pretty good. I was intrigued by the possibilities of Bobby's secret crime condo that Hope didn't seem to know about (not enough info to be 100% sure). IMDB says there were only 3 eps? Here I thought I'd missed Four, etc.  Oh well. Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert continue to bring me joy. OMG my laughing sounds like the worst bagpipes ever + whooping cough, but it feels so good to laugh. Bless them. I didn't tackle Jericho; not enough time.  The Year of Yes was dreadful, yet I skimmed the last 2/3 to finish it. That was it for my holiday. A little sick and a lot relaxed.

eta:  How could I forget!! My first monkey crack jewelry arrived (http://www.silverjewelryclub.com/default.aspx) Nice stuff! As billed, too, unlike a few items from stealitback.com.  Thanks so much, ratphooey!

Tomorrow: The Slanted Door for lunch. Whee!
