It’s Monday. It happened. I was hoping to slide through the whole cold/flu season again without getting sick, but that’s no longer possible. I woke up Sunday morning with a slight sore throat and feeling a bit off. The girlfriend has been very sick all last week and despite our best efforts to stay apart, it obviously didn’t work. So far I’m not too bad, but when it’s just getting started you never really know what you’re in for. Damn.

Well, the Bears didn’t lose yesterday. Of course, they didn’t play either.  This is probably their best winning strategy this whole season.

Before I got sick, a buddy and I decided to soak up some of the Christmas spirit by going to see the movie, Violent Night. It stars David Harbour from Stranger Things, as a beleaguered Santa who stumbles upon a group of mercenaries attacking the estate of a wealthy dysfunctional family. As the title implies, there’s a shit-ton of violence with many creative quality kills. While not your traditional holiday film, we both enjoyed it very much.

And speaking of the holidays, I started my Christmas shopping yesterday. I know, finally! I ordered one thing online so I feel like I’m on a roll now. I may try for a second item today. Or, I may just lay around the house being sick. That sounds pretty likely.
