Playing couch potato

I have been uncharacteristically lazy lately. In the past two days, I watched more TV than I do in an average month. But I have a good excuse. I woke up yesterday with swollen glands, a bad stomach ache and in total exhaustion. So I called in sick yesterday.

I have a hard time calling in sick. I'm not sure why. My step mom loves to tell the story about how I used to cry when I was little if I couldn't go to school. I could usually take it for one day, but the second I just couldn't bear sitting on the coach with a box of Kleenex while my peers played on the playground and I fell further behind in class. I liked school. I'm a dork, I know.

Yesterday, I actually got up and was going to get ready — but I couldn't take it. So I told my editor and crawled back into bed. I spent the day watching "Dickie Roberts, Former Child Star" and five episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" in a row. I loved it.

I wished I could have done it again today, especially at 6:30 p.m. when I was finishing up my second story — after my editor told me he didn't need a story from me at all today.

Oh well. Making up for lost time. I'll just work on my project later...

Lesson learned: Despite how Meredith acts, she really loves Dr. Shepherd. And Alex isn't the jerk that he acts like, even if he failed his medical exams.

Hi Alisha
I just got back from Montana and had a good time visiting your mom and dad. It was kind of cold for one of Terry's football games but we had a good time and his team won. I enjoy reading your blog it sounds like you have really been busy. Take care,
Love Grandpa
