Miles and I have been sick this week. x.x He picked up a cold at the kennel and though I tried to help him get better it kept getting worse and then I got it. :L So, I went to the doctor and he went to the vet and we both have been taking our medicines. It's been crazy keeping track of my 3 medicines and his 3 medicines and making sure we take them the right hours apart. lol But, today we are both on the mend. :) Zoe's been fine and happy, as usual. xD After the first round of Miles's medications, though, he would peek around the corner every time he'd enter a room to see if I had the medicine in my hand. And every time I give Miles the medications when I walk anywhere near Zoe she runs and hides because she doesn't want to be next. I feel like I'm running some kind of weird kitty torture chamber. xD But the medicines will be all gone soon. And we can start rebuilding the trust. ;)
Also, a virus happened to my desktop computer. I think I killed it, but the computer's still behaving oddly so the Geek Squad will be here tomorrow to help me. =) My washing machine has also been acting up but it will just need to stay alive and wait its turn. *crosses fingers*
Since I've been on the couch for a week and a half, the kitties and I have been watching a lot of tv and movies (pausing for sneezing and nose-blowing, of course). There are my usual programs, Ellen, The Daily Show, Conan, 30 Minute Meals, Chopped, Ghost Hunters, etc. But, we've also been watching some other stuff. I've gotten hooked on a series called Downton Abbey on PBS. Love it! Gorgeous costumes, scenery, architecture, and the score is beautiful. It tells a story starting around the time the Titanic went down and moves through WWI. And, of course, I love Maggie Smith. ^_^
I've also been enjoying another British series on PBS that I'd wanted to see from beginning to end. A mystery series taking place during WWII called Foyle's War. One of the main reasons I like it is the stellar acting ability of Michael Kitchen. The rest of the cast is excellent as well, with appearances by Rosamund Pike, Emily Blunt, James McAvoy, James Wilby, and many other awesome actors. :)
When I get all better, assuming I still have money left xD , I am going to take myself and a book out to Carrabba's and get the shrimp and scallops in champagne sauce and enjoy not being sick. =D I am very excited. ;)

Matthew and I were addicted to Foyle's ward a couple years ago! We're still seriously considering the name Samantha for a future daughter (if we have one), partly because of Sam Stuart! And I've been interested in Downton Abbey too, but haven't seen it. Maybe it'll come out on DVD...
Yay! I love that you love Foyle, too! The actress that plays Samantha is named Honeysuckle and I think it's a really adorable name, too. =)
I think Downton Abbey is out on DVD. :D Also it's on instant Netflix if you have that. I think you might like it, too. ;)
I miss you! I wish we could have another Poirot party at Emily's mother's place. Good times! :)
