Strep Globes

Monday Jan. 18, 2010 - 12:08 a.m.

First, happy belated birthday to my tolerant husband John, who spent his Saturday birthday taking care of me, but getting some downtime for himself while I hibernated.

I was down with the grot.

For the last few days, I've been offline for most of my day, which is rare, but I was ill with an old friend that I haven't had to deal with since I was in elementary school: Strep throat.

I slept on a pile of pillows instead of just one, my temperature broke over the weekend, and my cough has dwindled to the point of taking something before I go to sleep.

Before everything got to this point, I took four aspirin every six hours, and brandy until I stopped coughing.

I've since discontinued the above, taken no aspirin for twelve hours, and will use a two-teaspoon dose of Robitussin when I head to bed.

And Aunt Flo got here, too, so thanks to the coughing, I think she'll leave town in about 48 hours.

The Golden Globes were fun, and hooray, Avatar won best director and best picture.

I'm absolutely honored to have seen this thing first-run.

The Martin Scorcese award segment was lovely and now we want to see more of his movies.

Conversely, I saw at least four different women who looked like they were wearing tablecloths or bedsheets.

Nothing else to report. Have a good Monday.
