Week-in-Review-- A Week of Sick

G was out the week before. I got the flu last week and now DH has it this week. Yuck. It was not a fun week. But we survived. We made it to the dentist. G still made it to his basketball game. We ate food and slept.

Neither him nor I were happy to be there! Clean bill of health no cavities!

LISTENING TO:

WATCHING: 

TV:

• HBO's: True Detective Season 3. It's fascinating! I love Mahershala Ali in this. I hope he wins an Emmy or something for this role. 

Movies:

• Won't You Be My Neighbor (2018): Very touching documentary on the life of Mr. Rogers. Why did this not get nominated for best documentary????
• The Little Stranger (2018): The book was better and more subtle and terrifying but the movie is still worth a watch.
• BlacKkKlansman (2018): Fascinating story.
• Revenge (2017): Loved this French story of revenge.
• Beautiful Boy (2018): A look into the horrors of chronic drug addiction.
• Into the Dark: Down (2019): The best one yet of this year-long anthology from Hulu.

(Actual reviews to come...)

 

This is what happens when you're sick for a week....

Making: 

A cake! G's birthday is Saturday and I want to make him a Minecraft cake...we shall see.

Looking Forward to:

I did nothing for Groundhog day...but I am looking forward to G's birthday weekend. We're taking him and his cousin out to a bounce/trampoline place. Then pizza and cake!

I'm also hoping we get our water main leak figured out and fixed soon! That's been a big stressor this week too.
