Yesterday was a pretty miserable day for me … I was basically on the brink of death and it was not fun. My entire body ached and I was burning up for most of the day … fortunately, my stomach was fine so I was pretty sure my illness wouldn’t last long. David was such a doll, he took care of my every need … hot tea, cold oj and fresh fruit — he kept me from wanting to end it all ;) Obvs, we were in no mood to go out last night so we rented Vicky Cristina Barcelona on On Demand and ordered in:

While I greatly enjoyed the film overall, I honestly did not see what all the fuss was about. Sure, Penélope Cruz was great in the film but I absolutely did not think her performance was Oscar-worthy. Considering the amazing work that Amy Adams did for Doubt, I just couldn’t see it. Scarlett Johansson was the worst part of the film, I’m actually surprised the actress who played Vicky, Rebecca Hall, didn’t get more attention … I much preferred her performance to Scarlett‘s. But, as I said, I really liked the film overall … it was a nice reminder of the amazing time that David and I spent in Barcelona a couple of years ago. Fun movie, just a bit overhyped in my humble opinion.

After the movie, we watched a few eps of Sex and the City … then I downed a Nyquil shot and passed out. I could feel my fever breaking in the middle of the night and I awoke to 100% less aches. I’m not quite back to normal but I feel the worst has passed. I doubt we’ll be up for anything social today but we do need a bed … we may venture out in public after all.
