I've been battling bronchitis of doom that won't go away. My sister had caught the flu and I told her to stay away from me...and then my Assistant had the flu as well and came into work (at which point, I sent her home pointing out that we have sick time for a reason!)...I did this not to be "mean" as both of them said, but because I knew this was inevitable. I take something that everyone else recovers from in a week and mutate it into an ongoing, never-ending illness.
On the bright side, I don't get sick that often anymore, but when I do, it just hits for weeks. I'm getting slightly annoyed at this point more than anything.
And I'm on an inhaler, something I haven't needed since I was like eighteen years old.

Tonight I go see Rent in Philly as part of my theater subscription and I'm taking my other Assistant. It should be fun. I haven't seen Rent in a long time at this point. It will always have a special place in my heart. A lot of my closest friends came into my life because of my love of the OBC Rent and doing the line and all of that back in my younger years.

Who watches Manifest? I think that and Million Little Things are my new favorite shows. I'm just depressed that Manifest is done until next year. i want more answers to what the heck is going on.
Other than that, I've watched Umbrella Academy and really loved it. It went off in a different direction of the comics, but I enjoyed what was done and I can't wait to see where it goes from the end of season one. I can't decide if Five or Klaus is my favorite - but I found myself going back-and-forth quite a bit.
And, of course, my great love of all things Bravo and reality tv. Love After Lock-Up - I've gotten a few of my coworkers to start watching this trainwreck because it's amazing! I still ponder how one makes that decision to seek out a person in jail as a potential life partner, but the show is the best kinds of crazy.
Vanderpump finally looks like there will be some drama this season. They've all been getting along super well except for things with James (as always) and Billie (which was weird to me), but in previews it looks like that might be changing. They are the least self-aware group of people ever, but I love them all. And then Real Housewives of New York is back as is Beverly Hills and I'm finishing up the end of New Jersey season (haven't watched the reunion yet).
I find that reality television is my happy place since Trump became our President. Okay, I loved it before that, but really, I can barely handle MSNBC or CNN anymore because I just get stressed and sad and angry...so I go to Bravo and watch so much fun crazy.

I won some bids in the
fandomtrumpshate auction that I'm excited about. After my tax return each year I like to make some donations and this way I get to have some fandom fun as well.
I also signed up to take part in the
waybackexchange because it's all my favorite fandoms of the past (and some still are things I love). I figure it will also get me writing and accomplishing some words toward my writing goal of 200K for the year.
