Well, it was a good weekend, but the week is getting off to a bad start.
Friday, I went to see "Saved". A very funny movie, especially for someone who grew up in the Bible Belt. It pokes fun at the kind of Christians who mainly use their faith to establish their superiority over the "heathen", without denying that true faith exists. However, in the rush to a happy ending, I think it does way underplay the damage that those kind of people can do to people who don't fit in, but are too close to be dismissed as "unsaved heathens".
Saturday morning I had a massage. It's uncomfortable at the time, but it does help in the long run. I have to find some ways to do something about my back. Later, we played D&D, and much to my surprise, the entire party survived (at least this time).
Sunday, I went out to the house and worked on fireworks with my husband. I rewarded myself with a shopping spree at Bed, Bath & Beyond and dinner at Bennigans. I have always had a weakness for kitchen gadgets, but I always made do with garage sale stuff. (But there was always money for my husbands toys!) Now that I'm on my own, I am collecting some nice stuff. I also fell for a Balance Ball/Workout Tape combo that is supposed to improve core strength to help my back.
Then, this morning, I woke up two hours early and couldn't get back to sleep. My head is stopped up, my nose is running, my throat is sore, and I'm afraid I may be running a fever. I am hoping it's allergies, but I'm afraid I'm getting a cold. I don't have time to get sick! I've taken a allergy pill and an extra vitamin C, just in case. We'll see how the day goes.
