I'm still alive

1. Well, pneumonia is no fun, but I'm starting to feel human again. It's a constant 'two steps forward, one step back' kind of thing. I'm too sick to do much of anything, but not sick enough to spend ALL day in bed. So I'll load up some laundry, then lie down for a bit. Load the dishwasher, lie back down. Read a book, take a nap. You get the picture.

2. Dealing with insurance is no fun, but everything seems to be resolved and *fingers crossed* repair work will begin on the roof today. If not, then on Monday at the latest.

3. I really, really love and appreciate my husband and children. They have been amazingly patient and helpful and kind over the last two weeks, and I am a very lucky woman.

4. James and I have got into The Office this season. Holy cow- that show is uncomfortably hilarious! Grey's Anatomy has gone so far downhill over the past two seasons that it's a relief to laugh from 9pm till 10pm. 30 Rock continues to rock, and I was so happy for their Golden Globe wins!

5. After seeing The Unicorn and the Wasp I decided to explore the world of Agatha Christie. I started A Murder is Announced last night, but I would love any suggestions as to which work I should pick up next.

6. Finally, Friday Night Lights in back TONIGHT!!! I'm so happy I could cry. I've managed to avoid any spoilers so far, but from what I've heard this season is just as good as Season One (which was the most absolutely perfect season of television ever).
