Sick Day

• This morning, when I awoke at my boyfriend's house instead of my own at the late hour of 9:30 when I was supposed to be on my way to work at 9:00. I work about a forty-five minute drive from home. I was feverish part of the night, I've been feverish off an on for the past few days and my nasal passages have seriously got to go. Medications do nothing and I feel like my head is huge. So, I called my boss, left a voice message and here I sit, taking a sick day, one I don't get paid for and can't afford. I guess I will make up for it by working extra hard on my novel, I have many pages written but not typed so I'm going to get on that. The best thing about today is that I get to spend it all with my wonderful guy. I'm going to try really hard not to be a gushy writer who writes about her boyfriend all the time, but he truly is a great guy. When I woke up on New Year's Day with this super cold virus, he rushed right out and bought me several types of cold medicine and several boxes of Kleenex. He takes such wonderfully good care of me. Now, I'm going to hurry up and get some typing done.
• Ok, I changed my mind. I just saw the preview for the movie Ink Heart and I have to say I am excited! I didn't know they were making a movie of it! It was one of those weird books that took me a while to finish and I loved it and sort of disliked it at the same time because it gave me weird feeling inside and I didn't know why. I read the sequel and loved it and it didn't give me the weird feeling inside. I don't know why, but that's the way it was. I hope the movie is good and they do justice to the book. Since taking a class on book to film adaptation I understand why they do make a great many of the changes, but I still feel there are many books that have been ruined in film, such as Ella Enchanted, and Eragon. These were good books diserved to be treated better. Although, I must say, Eragon was, in my opinion a little, shall we say, immature. It was really good for the first book by an eighteen year old, but the movie was poorly done and did not realize the book's vision at all and was so badly received by the public that the following books won't even be adapted to film which is quite a shame as the next two books were considerably better than the first. Ok, now, I will go type.
