About what you do when you're home sick

I caught one of the grandpeep's colds, and spent yesterday getting a sore throat, then last evening acquiring a temperature of 102. Grownups with temperatures are not happy people.
So I stayed home from work today and--until just now--didn't even feel like opening up the computer.
No--I was forced to turn to TV. And what's on during the day is so banal, I ran away fast. I felt sicker.
So I've been watching Harry Potter movies all day.
Not only do I enjoy my technology too much, I'm addicted to kids' books ... and movies. {Ed. note: And, since I am a grownup, I just could care less about Dumbledore's personal life, although I think J.K. Rowling's recent disclosure was just TMI.)
And, especially since I'm feeling a little better, I'm having now having a blast.
Well, I only have so much strength.
Let me know what YOU like to do when you're home sick.

About Hey! Quit surfin'

I don't know about where you are, but where we are, it's 80 and sunny, and it seems as if summer has never left. So quit readin', quit writin', and start walkin' or something.

Okay, you can read this first:
"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult" -- E.B. White

Now, GO!

About walkin' on theTribe Side

After that 5-hour, exhausting, thrilling, satisfying Tribe win last night/morning over the Red Sox whom I am being to hate, I appreciate more than ever why Sunday should be a "day of rest."
Take a nap!

About when the Indians lose

Which they did. And I found this great quote from Klinger, and am going to start working out immediately so it applies to me:
"A good cigar is like a beautiful chick with a great body who also knows the American League box scores." ~M*A*S*H, Klinger, "Bug-Out," 1976

Hey, it's the weekend! Quit thinkin'!

About July in October

And how we need to be out enjoyin' it! Quit thinkin!

About what I'm doin' today

And one thing is not writin' much. I'll let others do the work...
"An intellectual snob is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture and not think of The Lone Ranger." -- Dan Rather
I think I'm safe from that label. Hi-ho, Silver.

About when you have a busy Saturday

You depend on someone's else's words to get you off the hook:

"My most important piece of advice to all you would-be writers: when you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip" -- Elmore Leonard.

Even if it does hit too close to home.

Hey, take a day off. Quit thinkin'!

About I better be takin' Saturday off this week

Maybe you should be too. Quit thinkin'!

George Eliot said, "It is never too late to be what you might have been..."

About a short quote for a Sunday

Because we should all be restin', so don't spend any more time here.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” -- Jack Kerouac

About takin' the day off

So I did. Hope you did too. Plenty of time to starting thinkin' tomorrow...

About the lottery

Because we bought three tickets each for the Hoosier Lotto and the Powerball, and proceeded to imagine our new life after we won both of them.
Imagine our excitement this morning when we head the Powerball winner is from Indiana.
Imagine our return to reality after checking the numbers and knowing it wasn't us.
Oh well, it's Sunday. Take a day off...quit thinkin'!

About I should take Sundays off

I'm not sure I'm succeeding at being creative all week, so I better take one day off to refuel. You should too. Quit thinkin'!
