A day of rest

Nothing much happened today and that was good. I took the day off of work to re-coup my energy but at it turned out, I woke up feeling a bit sick anyway. I've been fighting this thing all week and I suspect that laying low and watching movies helped kick it out of my system. Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?

I watched "A Scanner Darkley" today. Pretty good. Not as great as Blade Runner, I don't think, but certainly the best Phillip K. Dick adaptation since then. Didn't really brighten my sicky spirts as you might suspect. But that's fine. Downtime is good for the soul.

I played with my new iPod a bit. I've got it stocked with 10 episodes of Hogan's Heroes now. Just in case.

I finally got showered by 3 or so and then did some yoga. The Baron Baptist DVD that I did is such an ass kicker that I know I'm gonna be sore tomorrow. I hadn't done that one in a while and had forgotten how trying it is. Mindy and I joke that the two girls that he has demonstrating the poses are his "race horses" though I suppose they're more show horses than race horses. He just walks around them and corrects their postures the whole time as he runs on and on in this stream of consciousness blather. Don't get me wrong, it's a good workout or I wouldn't do it, but the guy has a serious motor mouth.

I'm off to bed. Tomorrow I have to take my mom to Seattle for her surgery follow-up appointment from her hysterectomy that happened last month.

It's been a hell of a year.
