Home For the Holidays

Even though the thermometer has gotten it's fair share of use these last few days, rising and falling from 96 to 102, it's been a nice time at home. Most of my nights have consisted of lying on the couch or in bed with a few nights out....well, church and one movie. Other than that I've had a few visitors but mostly just have lied on the couch. I'm thankful I'm home though because the idea of sitting in Boston feeling this sick, yuck, being sick feels less awful when you're at home.

I had very high aspirations for my time at home however fate has a sense of humor. Today, waking up with a fever, again, and coughing so much I threw up.....yuck again, speaking of which - what's with the natural movement of putting your hand to your mouth when you throw up? Like you're going to catch it, whatever, all you end up doing is getting it on more stuff. Anyway, after that I've been watching The Family Stone. This movie is so heartbreaking, funny, just awkward! It's one of those movies that you watch and keep watching for some reason you don't really understand. Here's one of my favorite lines, “She doesn’t seem to know or trust herself,” he says, “which means our Everett may not know or trust himself at all.” It's funny when you think of relationships - if the other person really doesn't know themself...it's quite likely that you too, don't know yourself! Well, as I sit and watch the fever come and go, it's movie time. I also begin filling out applications and reading over some books in preparation for some special nights ahead!
