This will probably be a short post, unless the Tylenol kicks on for the headache I’ve now had for two days.
Thursday night everything seemed to be going well. It was a good day at work, and it was TV night. I really don’t watch much TV these days; something that I’m aware makes me appear quite socially challenged at work. I can’t carry on much of a conversation about the latest episode of this or that – but I just don’t have that time.
But, I’ve been an ER fan since the beginning and everyone has told me how great Grey’s Anatomy is, but until this season, it wasn’t on a night that I could watch it. So, I’m trying to allow myself Thursday nights to watch TV.
It’s been a big disappointment so far. Here this is my big self absorbed splurge – and this is all I get? Forget Grey’s Anatomy. I’m not impressed. It seems like a big soap opera. But, the little set errors are at least entertaining. I noticed last week that when the blonde chick, the one’s that in trouble for what she did with the heart transplant patient (can’t think of her character’s name) – when she was standing outside of the hospital all day trying to get up the nerve to go back inside, her shirt kept changing. First, it was a sweater, then a slightly lighter knit top, and then the sweater was back again. (It’s the same sweater she wore in this week’s episode – apparently the girl has a limited wardrobe.) It’s pretty sad when the blind woman notices these things.
ER is just getting stale. But, I still love it. It’s a soap opera I’m actually hooked on.
I went to bed, but couldn’t get to sleep. Pretty soon I started getting stomach cramps, and a headache – then the runs most of the night. I woke up feeling pretty crappy. Both of my bosses are out of town, and I’m working on a feature story right now – something I could easily do from home. So, I elected to stay home. Hopefully I won’t have to use a precious vacation day because I did work about four hours today, and will work at least another four (if not more) during the weekend to stay caught up.
Still, I spent most of the day worried about my leave status, office perceptions about my health etc.
I felt better after about 10:00 am, and managed to get quite a bit done over the next few hours. By mid afternoon I was starting to feel pretty crappy again and just went to bed. I spent the evening trying not to sleep too much or my schedule will get all out of whack again. So, I lay on the couch watching TV.
It seems Ryan’s feeling under the weather with stomach cramps too. Must be something going around.
Anyway, looking at the screen is making me queasy, so I’m going back to bed.

I totally agree about Grey's Anatomy! Totally! I can't watch it, not even for the continuity errors (though that's pretty funny!).
I absolutely love "House" though! That show is tailor made for people who've had unusual health problems, I think! If you haven't seen it and you have time (Tuesdays on Fox - after the World Series - or reruns of it on Friday nights on USA), you might like that one. They even had an episode with a child with a bleeding disorder this season!
I've seen House a few times, but it isn't always on when I can watch it. Someday, when I join the next century, maybe I can record it. You might enjoy this blog though: http://politedissent.com/ if you look on the right side you'll find a link for House reviews, from a medical perspective. Grin!
I think what I like so much about House is the idea that a doctor would be THAT determined to figure out what's up with his patients. And it's just too funny to watch him interact with the young doctors. Oh to be that bold! Grin!
