And you wonder...

...why I've started watching General Hospital again?

Well, I've had three sick people to contend with over the past week and a half, with the oldest being a not so good patient.

Husband would go to bed, toss and turn for a bit, then come out to the living room, toss and turn for a bit, go back into the bedroom...it was a pattern that got on my nerves. He's doing better today, although he now has what he calls a "smoker's cough" and he doesn't smoke. He sounds like a wounded goose or something.

Daughter sounds eerily like Demi Moore right now, all raspy voiced. Son, now he's the one I'm worried about. He's started walking around like a drunk but claims he doesn't feel dizzy or have a headache. I don't know, maybe this is his way of trying to get some attention, what with everyone being sick. Maybe this cold has thrown him for a loop, I don't know, but it is a bit disconcerting to see one's child weaving around the house.

So last night I opted to sleep on the couch because I didn't want to sleep with my goosey sounding husband and be coughed all over. Since I was awake I decided to watch GH on SoapNet instead of taping it...my god why do I do this to myself? How many times are Jax and Carly going to make cow eyes at each other? They were actually playing footsies! Just do it already. And Rick Springfield looks rode hard and put away wet. And he pouts too much.

But at least it's a solid hour I can sit and not have to think about the real world. and it's also an uninterrupted hour where I can sit and roll my eyes at the absurdity of it all...and wonder why I'm wasting an hour.
