Paid the card
***750am: Buddy Sick. He threw up for no apparent reason at his mat by the breezeway. He seems fine and is drinking a lot of water. Around 9am he threw up again. It was just clear liquid because I hadn't fed him yet. Will wait another hour and see if he can keep it down. Today he is not acting like his normal self- kinda down, it seems. And then Buddy threw up again about 11am. Still no food since early this morning and he is not acting normal. He's resting behind the living room chair which is highly unusual.
***I fed him before I walked on the treadmill and he kept it down and more Friskies at 215pm. He's back! (Not so fast).
Watched 'THE RAILWAY MAN' (Kanopy). A powerful drama about a man who suffered unspeakable trauma in a Japanese prison camp during WWII. At first it seems to be a romantic love story about a 'trainspotter' (railway enthusiast) who meets the love of his life on a train trip through rural England. Later, we learn of his prison camp trauma and his wife tries to help, but when he discovers that one of his torturers is still alive, he realizes that a confrontation is inevitable; with Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman, and Stella Skarsgard. "59" Metascore; 7 wins & 20 nominations.
***The famous Bridge on the River Kwai in Thailand is featured near the end of the film. A character in the film explains that near slaves built the most difficult sections of America's coast to coast railway system and this railway across Southeast Asia would require 'an army of slaves'.
Watched the rest of the last episode of 'SPOTLESS' (Netflix). In the final episode the bearded brother jerks off an unconscious necrophiliac (Victor) so that they can get a sample of Victor's ejaculation to link him to the rape of a dead woman. I've never seen anything like that before. The door is wide open for a second season, but according to the Internet the entire project was abandoned in 2016. Too bad.
I tried to send a 'chat' email with a picture of the new futon but I don't think it worked, so I sent it as an attachment to a text. I hope this did the trick. (It did- I got a reply by text & email from Janny later).
12pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for another walk on the treadmill. The rain showers never materialized.
1230pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; the complete LISA KUDROW on CLUB RANDOM; began RUSSELL BRAND on CLUB RANDOM.
Weights: 3 sets/ 12 reps (barbells & dumbbells)
Reading 'THE KILLER ANGELS'
3pm- 4pm: Mowed the lawn & put down salt in driveway seams.
Reading 'THE KILLER ANGELS'
530pm: In the tub with 'THE KILLING ANGELS' and listening to QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Playlist; MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA Playlist; LUTHER ALLISON Playlist.
More of 'RUSSELL BRAND on Club Random.
More 'WOMEN AT WAR' (Netflix). I shut it down 34 minutes into episode #4.
***BUDDY SICK: When I came upstairs I noticed that Buddy had thrown up on the arm of the chair in the living room. He ate normally, I went to sleep and he threw up on the hallway carpet near the bedroom door about 4am. Again, he seemed completely normal at 540am when I got up.
