Bored out of my gourd
I am bored out of my freakin’ skull. I hate laying around in bed for days. It’s not even comfortable, but I feel pretty trapped. The stairs really agitate my side. If I make an appearance in a public area, Elsa takes it as an invitation to crawl all over me. I am so sad when I see her little mama-wanting pouty face, but I really can’t stand to have her kick me in the side right now. I guess having an organ pulled out of your body is pretty traumatic. I was expecting to feel a lot better today.
I ordered a big climber set for Elsa’s birthday and set it up for an in-store pick-up. I was really dumb and didn’t pay attention to the part that said I would have to be there with photo ID. I could have put it in Mike’s name, but it never occurred to me. So today I got to go on a car ride that just about killed me. Something about your body moving so fast without being in control of all the bumps and jiggles is just really bad post surgery.
Elsa is totally in love with the climber thing. I was afraid it would be too small, but it seems to work for the moment. I really wish there was something between a toddler size climber and a full-on huge jungle gym for a little townhouse backyard. There’s a market for it, at least in our area. If I was a builder type person I would start making them and make a million bucks. I’d really like to buy a big slide and build a tower, but I know I don’t have that capability.
I’ve been watching way too much Hulu and Netflix and am totally bored with it all. Netflix kind of chaps my hide. Why don’t they have any of the shows I want to watch on streaming? And how come I can never find any decent movies? Bah. I should bite the bullet and sign up for DVDs again. Except Elsa pulled the DVD player out of my laptop and I can’t get it back in. I better get it taken care of before my warranty expires, eh?
Nothing else is going on. My world is pretty small at the moment. I did manage to make Elsa a birthday cake, though it was a two day process. Loving my new Kitchen Aid stand mixer! I whipped up a big bowl of 7 minute frosting with almost zero effort. That’s what I call a modern day miracle.

Netflix has recently added a whole bunch of Korean Drama to streaming. Try Secret Garden. It’s a body-switch romance with fairy-tale allusions.

Aren’t KitchenAid stand mixers awesome!? I’ve been seriously in love with mine for over a decade now.
I’m sorry you’re bored. Have you ever watched Farscape? It’s on Netflix Instant and I think you might enjoy it. It’s the Wizard of Oz + space + twisted imaginations + Muppets. Yes, really! The first season is kind of uneven, but reading Jacob’s recaps on Television Without Pity REALLY makes the most of the show. And it picks up a lot during the middle of the second season, then gets really good in Seasons 3 and 4. Then the show was unceremoniously cancelled (boo!) on a major cliffhanger (BOOOO!) but they made a mini-series to wrap it up (yay!) but it’s not on Netflix Instant (boo!) but I own it and will lend it to you (yay!). 🙂

I got a free trial month of Prime, and god did it suck me in – it doesn’t have a queue like netflix though, which is really stupid. Not 100% sure I want to start giving Amazon $80/year, but it’s almost certain I will.
