Last Friday I pitched for our softball team in the cold, rainy weather after field day at work--bad idea. I've struggled to breathe due to congestion ever since. A trip to the doctor got me some more meds (just what I need, more meds) and I eventually get a few hours of sleep every night in between bouts of wracking cough. I have a history of cough syncope (passing out while coughing) and as a result I have this rather strong prescription cough medicine that leaves me too loopy to drive, so the Mrs. has had to take me to work some this week. It has been physically demanding for her, between the drive to and from my work twice a day and her still recovering from surgery.
All of our TV shows have ended their seasons the last couple of weeks, and it is quite refreshing to have the free time again-- to watch movies! Yes, I know we have an addiction. And admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. That and we are running out of storage space.
Not much else to go on about, except that school is winding down here, only one day with kids and one without left. In our Star Wars game we have added a new player, Melissa. She jumped right in with some quick training from Ellice and has been a welcome addition. The saga continues...

I researched cough syncope and it sounds very scary. I would be afraid at all times, but I suppose you know your own triggers before you faint. Still, this must be draining.
We too, are enjoying having free time from TV shows and have been watching movies and Star Trek TNG episodes. There’s nothing better than a little Jean-Luc!
We have sickness here, too. Mostly from stress and exhaustion, but several of the Brigadoon cast are coughing and sniffling, which makes for an interesting 'soundtrack.'
Addiction to watching things: No idea what that's like. Tell me about it.
Saw Indy 4 last night. Mostly agree with your evaluation, tho I'd give it 2-1/2 to 3 stars. Marion was fine (imo), except they didn't write her nearly as feisty as she used to be. Much more a 'mom' type which both works and doesn't. They didn't give Cate much material to work with either. But there were several good lines, altho I'm not too sure about the ending. Don't get me wrong, I love Stargate, just wasn't so sure it fit the Indy niche. They should've done something like King Arthur or Excalibur....................
