Feeling sick again today. It’s cold and rainy, and my head feels very fuzzy… All I want to do is sleep. This isn’t right! I was sick all last week! This isn’t supposed to happen again, so soon…
So maybe I’ll do some things today that I didn’t do when I was home last week. Such as: read the above book, for which I am in the mood for some reason. The Giving Tree is a wonderful children’s book about a boy and a tree, and their enduring relationship. It speaks to the concepts of unconditional love and sacrifice, and the theme that there’s no place like “home”.
Also on the dock is the film You’ve Got Mail – terrible, I know. But I love it, I can’t help it! Aside from some dodgy scenes that are a tad too soppy or predictable, such as the twirling scene, or the unsatisfying ending (did anyone truly think they wouldn’t end up together?), there is some snappy dialogue and hilarious scenes. And for anyone who’s met someone online or conducted a long-distance relationship mainy via email and IMs, parts of this movie will seem awfully familiar. High art it’s not, but it’s comfortable and funny, and I watch it every time I’m home sick – except last week. So maybe I’ll make up for that today!
But first, I see that it’s 9:24; I got up at 8:30 – I think it’s nearly nap time!
