averygoodun42It was such a gorgeous morning! It was quite cold (14F), but the sun was shining brilliantly, and, out of nowhere, little white sparkles started fluttering about. Can't say they were falling, because it was more like dancing as they twirled up and around, seemingly escaping gravity. Absolutely gorgeous!
Unfortunately, that was the highlight of the morning.
Geoff talked me into going to the doctor with him, so we spent the morning getting checked out (ear infection for him, sinus infection for me), and then spent an hour unsuccessfully waiting for our prescriptions to be filled at our pharmacy. ("About twenty minutes," my ass.)
I will be going back to check on their progress in an hour or two, preferably after I have calmed down a smidge more. I have a growing loathing of my time being wasted by others. I should be the one to decide when and how my time is to be wasted, thank you very much!
*ahem*
I think I will also be switching pharmacies, as this is their third offense.
The point is that the morning was shot, I feel cruddy and now I'm grumpy, too. Grr.
Hopefully this won't end with an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. It would be just my luck if I were allergic to both the cillins and the sulfas...
On the happier side of things, Page seemed to get all the way better this weekend. Not that I was awake to notice much of it, but he seemed super cheerful and energetic and only mildly obstreperous. Yay!
Also, he enjoyed watching "The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" with us. We have one more episode left before needing to mourn the fact that they didn't renew the series for a second season. Granted, even though the show is very good, the books are far superior. Maybe some of them would be good bedtime reading? ;-D
At some point I'll have to photograph some of Page's lego creations. I was really impressed with his recent version of an AT-ST Walker (Star Wars). No instructions, no proper parts, just a good imagination and The Knack. His star ships and speeders are all really cool, too. It makes me ashamed of the trite creations I made when I was his age. And older...
But before that, I need to post yesterday's photo meme entry. I did actually take the photo yesterday, but didn't have time (or energy) to process it. Or even download it? *checks* Yep. So, I guess that's next on my list of calming activities. Along with finishing this cup of tea.

Date: 2012-02-14 04:26 am (UTC)The director of the television series Anthony Minghella, was one of my heroes. He died unexpectedly and quote young. His other work included lots of literary adaptations (including The English Patient) and Jim Henson's Storyteller series. I felt like I had a lot more to learn from him, but now his life is done.
But Jill Scott... this series is actually how I got into her music. I think you would probably enjoy it, too!

However, I tend not to judge books and their video counterparts on the same scale. I thought this tv series was truly excellent, and I enjoyed how they changed some of the stories around so that not only did we fans not necessarily know what was coming, but made it better for television. I was just disappointed that they didn't follow the main precept of Mma Romostwe's business practice of: Just ask. They'll tell you the truth even if they lie.
