Throat Problems and Other Highlights of the Week

Things started off so well, I should have known it would go pear shaped quickly. My boyfriend Michael had this weird rotating schedule where every four weeks he'd have off two days during the week, and then the next four he'd be able to have Sundays off. Well, now he's gotten a new co-worker(which is actually a good thing because the previous one was a lazy git) so now he won't have Sundays off. For the first week the new schedule took effect he'd have to work almost a week straight before he had another day off. So to prepare for that we spent almost the entire day in bed together. Not doing anything dirty(get your minds out of the gutter) but we just cuddled and watched TV all day. Whch was great in itself. One of the things we watched was Merlin which made it even better. We did a five episode marathon, including the first three episodes of series 4(my favorite.) I was busted in my Merlin/Arthur love at one point. I was smiling suring all the good M/A moments. But while we were watching the scene in "The Darkest Hour, Part 2" at the beginning where Arthur sends a sick Merlin off with Lancelot, my boyfriend turned to look at me and, of course, I had the stupidest grin on my face. He asked what I was smiling at. I tried to play it off at first but then I had to admit my M/A love and that I loved how protective Arthur was being. He called me a "little weirdo." But he said it with a big smile on his face. He likes to tease me about the weird things I like. Anyway, the smiles continued throughout the rest of the episode

Also this weekend, reading everyone's accounts of Comic-Con made me so jealous and really wanting to go. I was watching coverage on it on G4. Michael came home and started watching some of it with me. I wasn't sure what he would think of it. But, without any prodding from me, he said that it was something he thinks he'd like to go to. So I got all excited and am hopeful, cost permitting, maybe we'll get to go next year.

Also, during my sickness, I decided to do a little Friends marathon. I especially wanted to show Michael the episode where a sick Monica tries to get Chandler to have sex with her(trying to give him a not subtle hint to lift the kissing ban.) The laughing wasn't the greatest for my throat, but it was fun. At one point Monica gets upset because Chandler doesn't call her his best friend. So kind of teasing/joking/half seriously asked my boyfriend if I was his best friend. Without hesitation he said yes. So that made me feel very nice.

I'm hoping the rest of this week calms down, I feel better, and I can do some writing.
