Going a little stir-crazy

Right … so I got sick while my mom and sister were in town last weekend, which was super disappointing as you can imagine. I have spent the entirety of this week in bed. It takes too much effort to hold a book up and turn the pages, so I have been watching movies and catching up on a bunch of TV shows online—So You Think You Can Dance, Sanctuary, Dollhouse, some web series like The Guild and The Crew, and lastly the pilot for Stargate: Universe, which was execrably, intolerably, inexcusably bad; in fact the Gumby Ninja called me an hour ago so we could mercilessly mock it together and bemoan the fate of the franchise. All that was way too much TV, even for me. But what can I say; when one is recovering from torturous sinus infection 2.0 (version 1.0 was earlier this month) and subsisting almost entirely on ginger ale and Asian chocolate-covered pretzels, one’s capacity for intellectual or theological input is severely diminished. Don’t judge me. Well, you can judge me about the pretzels. So … many …

I’m going kind of crazy and am looking forward to being well soon. Must get out of the house and do something productive! (We will not count today’s excursion around the block in which I examined some weeds and got tired far too quickly.) But being in bed this long with that much TV has fried my brain a little. Where should I venture out? What should I do? Do I even have friends any more?
