Staying in bed from 4:00 pm on Friday to almost midday on Saturday, only taking 15 minutes dinner time, I was recovered from the bad cold. Why it hadn't been gone during the weekdays obviously was that I couldn't have extended bedtime due to busy schedule.
Of course, I didn't stay in bed with doing nothing. FA Cup 4th round kicked in this weekend, I watched the two matches televised on Fox Sports I, though fell into sleep from time to time. Tottenham didn't have problem to win over Colchester, a lower division rival. The final scores were 4 to 1.
The following match was between Arsenal and Burnley, which relegated at the end of last season if I recall correctly. So this one was closer but Premier team advanced without a surprise.
I hadn't noticed a Bundesliga match to be televised on FOX until seeing a reminder on the screen. It's great to capture the entire match Stuttgart hosting Hamburg in the heavy rains. My memory was both team used to be very good at Bundesliga if they couldn't be defined as powerhouses, so I was surprised to learn from the commentaries both teams struggling to survive in this season. Stuttgart had made so many opportunities in this match, they at least should have scored 4 goals. Either they were not lucky or Hamburg's keeper and defenders performed extraordinarily, they only won 2 to 1 at the end. However, it's significant win for them to avoid relegation.
My original plan was to stay at home the entire weekend but my son called me on Friday to ask me to order contact lenses for him because he ran out of them. In addition, he left his glasses at home after winter break, so I would have to bring it to him. After lunch, I caught up my diary for Thursday, took a shower, then drove out on I-5 to approach to his dorm. The traffic became congested for unknow reason on Saturday, I took Exit to 85th Street to arrive at his dorm. He picked his glasses up and told me to come home next weekend.
I really wanted to eat something sweet after the recovery from bad cold, this was the only appetite I had despite it sounded not healthy. Though there were several supermarkets closer to our house, I knew what I exactly wanted to buy at the Safeway where I had refilled medications for almost 10 years. Walking around for several minutes, I grabbed a pack of orange juice, a cup of strawberry ice cream and a cream cake. As soon as I got back into the van, I sipped a great deal of orange juice in one shot. Arriving at home, I shared a little bit ice cream with my mom and ate the rest quickly.
On NBC Sports Network, NHL All Stars Skills Competition was being televised. The players' skills were amazing and I enjoyed capturing the moments of appreciating hockey again. This All Stars Event was mixed with Country Music culture in Nashville, it's a great combination.
Filling orange juice into a big cup, I started catching up my diary for Friday. Coming back to my bedroom, I lied into the bed again to recover. Searching on movie channels, I noticed a movie named Fifty Shades of Grey to be presented in 15 minutes. After watching the beginning of it, I realized that I had watched a very intimate scene of it last week. Because of the headache, I only watched 15 minutes, then turned it off. I would learn that scene was in very late part of the movie anyway, so I didn't lose much last week. This time, I watched it almost from the beginning to the end though taking a 15 minutes bathroom break cost me missing some scenes again. It's a weird but exotic movie and the scenes covered Seattle and Vancouver, WA. I read online that its sequel to be released in February, I may go to the theater to watch it. Kim Basinger would play the role of Christian Grey's first lover and business partner in this sequel. I am not sure if she would have some hot performances as she did decades earlier.
