With Somara being sick last week and all the chaos happening in my life, it was not a matter of “if” I would get sick but “when” as always. It started to kick in around Sunday evening/Monday morning, smacking me down like a freight train. Then came all the fun stuff I get from over-the-counter medication: nightmares and hallucinations. The doctor (who I had to reschedule with to the end of the month) I see for my anxiety explained to me why it happens, the medicine keeps me from sleeping deeply, hence my brain goes on the hunt. Good thing I’m not traveling anytime soon, there was at least one ugly plane crash in a recent dream.
I’m digging out on all the junk I need to do at home, work and anywhere else. When I wasn’t sleeping, I did manage to see the remaining two seasons of King of the Hill on DVD (seasons five and six). That cartoon still makes me laugh. I can only hope Fox will finish out the remaining seasons because I’m not in any hurry to sign back up for cable.
Life is pretty good down in Austin lately. The weather is nice (remains 70 F during the day, down to upper 40 F at night), the cats are in good spirits, my (local) team had a three-game sweep last weekend to put them in first place in the AHL West and November is traditionally a short month with the four-day weekend coming in two weeks.
