I am, infact, alive (or I'm a zombie who is feeling much better since coming back)

My body has been trying to defeat me almost the entire month of February. I have rarely gotten off the couch, called into school once, and been to two doctors appointments.  (If you are interested in all the gory details just ask).  I am finally starting to feel like my old self again.

In my down time I've had lots of time to think about random crap. Especially since the meds they have me on make me slightly manic and unable to focus on pretty much anything like reading or an entire movie.  These are some of those random thoughts...

I have discovered the perfect job for myself.  I just need Kathy Lee or Hoda to either quit, retire, or add a third person to their early morning shenanigans.  There was a segment where they drank wine and then threw things at people.  I've basically been training for this job my entire life.  I just had no idea!

I have also decided that Tina Fey & Amy Poehler's next project needs to be a Statler and Waldorf-esque show where they just sit around and make fun of everyone.  Tell me you wouldn't watch that religiously?

I did manage to watch some documentaries (pausing them pretty much every 15 minutes because I'd get distracted by Tetris on my phone or Tumblr ) and developed a crush on Louis Theroux.  If you have the time I beg you all to watch this segment he did on living with autism.  It says part 1 of 2 but it's just one big video.  I assume that caption is because he's probably planning to go back and revisit them later which he often does a few years down the road.  This is seriously the most accurate portrayal of autism that I have ever seen.  It gives a great look at meltdowns, the struggle for control, and just how broad the spectrum truly is.  Anyway if you have a bit of time please watch and share.  People need to see this.

That's all I got in me for today.  I hope everyone is well!  I'm off to shower, eat some mexican food, and then  go out for my first Ladies' Night in FAR too long.
