Hmm now what do I feel manic about today.  Getting rid of my cold riddled head... yes!  I have been frantically taking cold and flu tablets, the ones where, when you buy them from the chemist, they look at you like you are buying them to use in a meth lab that used to be your kitchen.  I have a cold, I am not some drug lord.

This then has me pondering, how many packets would one actually need to fill a drug making shopping list?  I dare say more than one packet.  If I came in asking for several dozen, well then yes you have every reason to be suspicious but if I ask for one packet, which is asked for with a rasped throat and a nasally voice, then it is safe to say it is for medicinal purposes.

So I feel a little manic about my cold and the suspicious frown from the chemist. 

The only other thing that held some excitement while in my sick bed (well sick couch, someone had to make sure my children didn’t completely destroy the house) was having a movie afternoon with same said children.  With my head full of paracetamol and phenylephrine I took the kids to the DVD store to find two of my favourite movies from when I was a child, E.T. and The NeverEnding Story.  What a delight it was to return to my youth and watch these two films again.  Two stories that I believe are timeless (perhaps the effects are a little dated) but the appeal to the young hasn’t diminished and it was great to see my two little ones enjoying them as much as I did as a child.  OK I admit it, as much as I did yesterday half comatose on the couch.

If you have never seen either of these movies then it is worth the time to indulge in a little nostalgia.  E.T. in particular with a young Drew Barrymore and the genius of Spielberg is well worth the small rental fee.  

Tune in tomorrow, same Bat-time, same Bat-channel (um I think I need to lay off the meds) for Teaser Tuesday. :)
