I've Turned The Corner

There's good news to report. I think I've finally turned the corner. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ready to run a marathon, or even get on my exercise clothes, yet. But for the first time in 10 days I'm not in constant pain. I still don't have a strong voice so I'm not planning to return to the airwaves until Monday morning. It'll be good to be back.

I have to tell you that there's been a lot of TV watching going on at my house these past two weeks. In fact, I've averaged about 6-8 hours of TV watching a day. I know, pathetic, but it was the easiest way to fill the time and forget the pain. Here are a couple of things I've noticed:

1)There are a lot of commericials about food. As soon as I can really eat, I'm going nuts and ordering a pizza from the Hut, hitting Mickey D's drive-thru for a Big Mac and fries, cruising Taco Bell for a Supreme with sour cream, and ordering a family dinner from Kentucky Fried Chicken. I AM FLIPPIN' HUNGRY!!!!

2) There are some awful shows on the tube. Nonetheless, I managed to get sucked in. These were my new favs. I watched the finale of "The Real Housewives of Orange County. (I think I cried a little during this one. Hey! I was having an especially painful day.) "The Millionaire Matchmaker" is a new one. A matchmaker tries to find millionaire men companions. Not as crazy as it sounds. I put it on my TIVO. "Cashmere Mafia." Loved it! It focuses on four ultra- successful women in NYC. "Jon & Kate Plus 8." Two adults. Eight children (six of them 3 years old.) Adorable.

3)HGTV now officially has too many "witty" hosts who try to re-do people's homes. Did I say "witty?" I meant annoying.

I better wrap things up.

Enjoy your health.
