For some reason I slept like a log last night and this morning. I didn’t wake up until 12:30, which so totally not like me at all. Even though I slept long and heavy, I only woke up once to go to the bathroom, which is so very unusual for me these past couple of years. I usually wake up 2 or 3 times having to get up and run to the bathroom before diving back under the nice soft warm blankets to try to go back to sleep.
So when I finally woke up, I felt so awful, almost like I was coming down with something. So I crawled out of the bed, took a couple of Aleeve, drank a cup of hot tea and took a nice hot bath, hoping to feel much better after soaking for a good long while. But after I got out I still felt pretty bad and decided to just go back to bed and lay down for a while and watch some TV and see if I felt any better.
There was literally nothing on the TV, even with all the channels that I get with our current satellite channel package. I kept returning to the movie “The Boy In The Plastic Bubble” made in 1976, starring John Travolt and Diana Hyland. I remember seeing that movie a long time ago and really didn’t have any interest in watching it again, but since there was nothing else on I decided to tune in and watch just a bit of it, while looking to see if there was anything decent on another channel a bit later on. I was surprised to find that this really was a good movie and that I really didn’t remember much of it at all and before I knew it I was sucked into the whole story line. I ended up watching the rest of the movie, even staying put during the commercials, afraid of missing a single minute of the darn thing. What a great movie!
