watching television

It's Friday night, 9:49 p.m. central time; I am watching "Clear and Present Danger" for the umpteenth time. I love it. I also love, and I mean LOVE, the Bourne films with Matt Damon.
Yesterday, I fell at the Health Club; later, I went to Mercy Medical Center and was examined by a doctor. Nothing broken, she said; and your body will hurt in different places in the next few days, she said; the bruising is deep and will take several days to surface; keep it iced; here is 800 mg. ibuprofen; here is Tylenol w/Codeine. You are released.
So, I left. Took forever to get the prescriptions filled. I was so angry and frustrated about my situation -- having fallen -- and by the folks cutting down the trees at the health club, and about EVerything! -- that I drove down Peirce Street crying in the car, the air-conditioned car.
I finally got the prescriptions filled, bought groceries and went home.
I hurt this morning. My hips hurt today. I didn't fall on my hips, but they hurt. I ate today; I ate a healthy sandwich; I ate cinnamon roll; I ate three ears of corn; I ate those damned peanut butter and chocolate cookies that Vicki brought to class yesterday. Jesus! Now I feel thick and like a failure.
I will watch a bit longer, then go to bed, take a Tylenol and drift away to sleep and not get up till I wake up. No alarm tomorrow.
I'm going to the city tomorrow.
Goodnight for now. I've had enough. Long week. More later.

OK. I'm sitting in the computer lab at the community college working with my students and helping them set up their blogs. This is a good lesson for me in patience. I have very little. I woke this jdgaanderson@hotmail.com
