Sean's TMI Thursdays
Mommy, I'm Sick...
Sean from Just a Jeep Guy poses questions weekly. This is my response to this week's TMI questions.
1. When you were a kid, what would your mom (or who) do to make you feel better?
I really don't remember anything special, but I remember that she was always there for me. Medicine, food, or just doting on me...being around fretting over me...and it was all good.
2. Who takes care of you now?
Fortunately, I haven't been really sick for a while. But, I think it will be a combination of my kids and that special guy.
3. How often do you tend to get sick?
Typically a cold a year, and every few years, a bout with the flu or something close to it. Other than that, I have been fortunate. Unless I collide with other cars or stick my appendages in heavy industrial equipment, I am otherwise healthy.
4. How are you at comforting and aiding the sick?
I think I am pretty good at that, especially if it is someone close to me.
5. Are you a good patient or a bad one?
I am a pretty good patient...usually following orders...taking appropriate medicines...but I do love to be cuddled when I'm feeling bad [whether I am otherwise sick or not, actually]. I was addicted to pain killers once, and coming off probably made me a bad patient for a while though.
6. Do you have a your own version of chicken soup?
Not really...if I am caring for someone else, I tend to do whatever that person really likes or wants.
7. What one thing do you hate most when you get sick?
I hate missing things I have been waiting to do...like visits or parties. I also hate lying in bed all day...makes my back hurt.
8. What's your favorite comfort food?
Reeses cups.
9. When was the first and last time you played doctor?
Never played Dr. as a kid...first time was about a year ago, and last time was last month.
BONUS
"Not now, I have a headache." Have you used this famous excuse to get out of sex? What line have you used?
The line I most often use is, "We should do it now cause I may not feel good later." Why would anyone want to get out of sex?

Wal Mart
-SNL Weekend Update, Seth Myers
California police arrested a man who drove his car into a Wal Mart then began beating customers.
"If there is one thing that you don't expect to happen when you are shopping in a Wal Mart, it's for things to get WORSE."

About those Cherry Blossoms ...

A BUST!!
Someone lied. No, the cherry blossoms were not in bloom...at least nothing remotely close to the promise. If you tried really, really hard, you could find a tree or two that was maybe 70 or 80% open blooms, but there were damn few of them. And they were all surrounded by photographers who, like us, came to the tidal basin to see and take pictures of the trees. I assume a 'colder than predicted' night and a 'slower than predicted' warmup was to blame. But ...no matter.
No blooms to gawk over, therefore we had to find other things to do.
-Since we were already downtown, might as well watch some of the 20,000 runners in the Cherry Blossom 10K run.
- a trip see a beautiful garden just off the mall in a Smithsonian property.
- a visit to the Hirshhorn Museum featuring modern art.
- lunch in the American Indian Museum cafeteria...if you have never been, it is worth the trip...not cheap, but really good, unusual dishes.
- a side trip to Ikea.
This only gives me another excuse to get to DC to see them fully in bloom. When should I go? Or should I just skip this year for the pictures?

Japanese Cherry Trees to Bloom
Cherry Blossoms Peak .... story
Sunday is supposed to be a beautiful, sunny 70 degree day in Washington, D.C. and the cherry blossoms are expected to be at peak bloom. And... we're going to be there to see it .... might even take pictures for you.
The Jefferson Memorial in this picture holds a special memory for me, and is a perfect backdrop for the renowned blossoms from the more than 3000 Japanese Cherry Trees that line the tidal basin. By Sunday, or early next week, more than 70% of the buds are expected to be blooming.
This link tells the whole story of the original trees that had to be destroyed, and the replacement trees sent by the Japanese.
