What I'm Reading This Week #14
Annnnd we're revving into Friday. source I must start with a teary goodbye to Val Kilmer. No lie, three days before he passed I got the song " How Silly Can You Get " from the movie Top Secret in my head out of nowhere. I hadn't seen a reference, heard anything about him and definitely hadn't heard that song in 20+ years. I said to the Mr "I wonder how Val is doing?" then I soon got my answer. I remember seeing Top Secret at the drive in with Mom when it came out. When Real Genius came out on HBO, it was one of the few movies my Dad and I bonded over, is in my top five movies of all time and is the Mr and I's love language after I make him king of the winter carnival. source Anyone who followed Val's career and personal life over the decades knows he got a little out of the box and didn't settle for norms which also included his approach to his throat cancer.

Seeing Lazer tag fully intact in its box was awesome. And for $35 it was a deal but you really can't play that by yourself so rather useless. Still there is nothing like having the box in your hands to remind you of what it felt like Christmas morning when you opened that very thing. Happy February everybody!
ReplyDeleteHow did it get to be February already? Geesh it's going fast.

Saturday I had a memorial service to go to out in the suburbs and that was a really wonderful ceremony. I didn't get home until mid-afternoon and just felt plain pooped. I felt that way all day yesterday and was pretty nauseated, so I didn't get much accomplished. I did managed to change out my c-pap hose that arrived in the mail and was able to use it for the first time in months. And boy what a difference! I managed to sleep roughly 6 straight hours and have more energy today than I've had in probably 4 months. I'm still struggling with this pain near my sternum and will bring it up to the doc when I see her. I have a load of laundry going, will run out for a couple of items I forgot at the grocery store, then have an appointment at the YMCA with a gal who's going to show me around and help me set some things up. Now I'm paying bills for the month to get that off my plate for the week. Fun, fun... =o)
