Kicking off the mental shoes
Slow day - Ramon went off by himself to Sta. Cruz, and attended Mass to remember his late Ma's birthday. I dropped him off at the gate, then deposited my loose change at the bank; bought a couple of packing cartons and sorted through my old books to make room for the ones I will eventually get around to reading. Picked up a roast chicken for lunch.
Took a nap after lunch, surfaced from sleep when Ramon came home. Got up to monitor dinner prep, ate with indifferent interest. Went through the usual: LJ-Friends, e-mail, and feeds. Finished editing all the DVR files left over from last week.
I guess I'm still recovering from the stresses of the New Year. ::shrug:: Hormones are kicking in, too - on the way home from the post office, I suddenly started feeling rather sorry for myself and wanting to cry. What I need are a couple of old-fashioned romatic movies I can really get into, I suppose.
Currently watching "Eve" from The X-Files. I love the way Scully teases Glasses!Mulder after the mysterious phone call:
"You're rushing me out of the room, Mulder."
"I am not." (perfect innocence from him, The Look from her)
"You got a girl in here?"
At which point I chuckled. Chuckled even more when it turned out Mulder was trysting with Deep Throat.
Ma is bugging me to call the travel agency to set up a vacation abroad this year. Maybe a cruise? I am going through my pre-travel reluctance phase, only this time it's worse than usual, what with Ramon's health issues. I know he's doing all right, thanks be to God, but I cannot help but feel wary about leaving him all by himself for a week to ten days.
What we need is someone reliable to stay with him, who won't come up with some sort of excuse to leave the moment we're all at the airport. It was bad enough that he had to deal with a super-typhoon single-handed the last time we were out, and he was healthy then.
If only it were possible to be two places at the same time. If only it were possible for me to have a vacation on my own after accompanying my parents on theirs - being the buffer for their issues (even while out of the country, dear God) is a wearing thing.
If only... Meh. Can't go down that way. Will have to find a work-around, and hope for the best. In the meantime, there are other things that need to be done, but that's for another day.

I finally got some time at a day spa for a scalp/shoulder massage, and a peppermint foot scrub. So now all the kinks are worked out of my upper back, and I have smooth feet as well! Plus, Ramon's cousin in the States sent us a package of goodies, which arrived safely, thanks be to God.
It's been an orange-flavored day!

Most folks I know lost interest after Duchovny left the show, about season 7. It just wasn't the same without him.
There was the one episode where Deep Throat's reflection appears in the mirror when Mulder looks up from the sink, while they are both in the men's room. My hubby went - "Maybe that's where Larry Craig got some tips?"
