Just another week and ... I got sick! I thought I was going to get sick back in January but then I guess I was able to fight that off and turned out to be fine. Then on Saturday night I started getting the same feelings and symptoms, but this time, I lost the fight. Woke up the next day, completely congested and got very warm and very cold throughout the day. I did not thing I was getting a fever but I did manage to be so tired and always blowing my nose. So slept throughout the day and then went into the office on Monday, stayed for 2 hours and then left. Made an appointment that same day and found out I had minor influenza and an ear infection in my left year. I am not sure if this was that drastic but the doctor said it was a good thing I saw them because my ear was about to blow causing serious damage. I mean, to me, it just felt like I was blowing part of the congested through my left ear but I guess that is bad. So I was put on meds right away and stayed home for the of the day. I hope it goes away ...
Weekly Update:The week itself was pretty quiet. Went to Los Angeles
on Saturday for a few hours. Getting there was not a problem but getting home ... funny how it is a Saturday and it was nothing but back-to-back street and freeway traffic. I thought I left at a decent time but I guess no time is decent for LA. I am sure other major cities have the same issue but I don't think they do almost year-round. I am sure other cities have issues with traffic because of weather like snow but just because of the amount of people and drives who have no clue how to drive? I think that is our issue and we need to figure out that problem somehow ... where are the hover cars to bring a new level of traffic?!
At the movies:
Absorbing up the #1 spot this weekend is The SpongeBob Move: Sponge Out of Water with an astonishing 56 million. Above most expectations and I am sure more toys and other related products saw a big boost in sales as well. Slight drop to #2 is "American Sniper" with another 24.2 mil and just shy of the 300 mil mark. It should hit that this coming weekend. New at #3 is Jupiter Ascending with 19 mil and slightly above expectation. Word-of-mouth is not great on this one so it should be a very fast burn. New at #4 is Seventh Son with a very disappointing 7.1 mil but not too far from predictions. Rounding off the top 5 is "Paddington" with another 5.4 mil as it more-or-less has run out of steam.
