weekend: cocktails and quarantine

This weekend at home was good - people came over to visit which is always nice and there was a lot of sunshine so we made some "feels like it's almost summer" cocktails as well as a jasmine tea/honey/lemon/grapefruit non-alcoholic version that was very tasty.

Spoons continues to feel better - more appetite, more awake, wider range of motion - and he can even put on his own shoes now! He keeps walking a lot, which you can see on Run Keeper (thought it's more of a "Walk Keeper" for now).

Unfortunately, as Spoons's health has improved, mine has declined. Even though everyone has been telling me to take good care of myself (and I have tried!!) I got sick yesterday with a fever and sore throat and stuffy nose and everything. Because Spoons really cannot get sick right now, I'm in quarantine in my own house! Good thing we have a comfortable guest bed. Last night I slept upstairs, where I had crazy fever dreams about octopuses. Tonight I'm hoping for a more relaxing sleep, with maybe a little less crazy dreams. :)

As the tables have turned, Spoons was cooking for me today, and we watched a movie tonight on separate couches, like roommates, before he headed downstairs to bed. I haven't had a fever since early this morning, so as long as I continue to improve hopefully I can get out of quarantine soon.

Movie reviews:

Animal Kingdom: Australian crime family, bloody, pretty slow moving but with some good parts. Guy Pearce does his best Gary-Oldman-Commissioner-Gordon impression.

The Prestige: Speaking of Batman, in this movie directed by Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins) Batman (Bale) and Wolverine (Jackman) are rival magicians in nineteenth century London. Also David Bowie is Nikola Tesla. That pretty much sums it up.
