Buffy

I'm watching Buffy season six. Why? Cause it's there. It's the season where she comes back from the dead and things are just wonky for her. Many grown up problems in this season. She has to get a job. Giles isn't watching out for her. Her best friend is dealing with an addiction issues. Anya and Xander are getting married. Dawn is being a terrible teen. It's the season of the musical episode.

I remember watching all of  this and dealing with some pretty vivid emotions of my own at the time. Season five had the excellent episode 'The Body' where there is no music at all. Just words.

One of the biggest issues is that she ends up with Spike. The bad boy. The enemy. The vamp with no soul. He knows she doesn't love him and that this is unrequited but there is that feeling. You know that feeling when you do something you aren't suppose to.

Buffy turns to him because she has no where else to go emotionally. She's also in her early 20's so having a friend with benefits is something realistic that a TV show heroine would do.

This season shows a Buffy who has to deal with the real world as well as demons and vampires. Bills, working a crap job with weird people, the trio of annoying nerds it's all things everyone including non vampire slaying people can relate to.

Dawn realizes that vampire slaying might limit Buffy's career options because of the time and effort she has to dedicate to it. It's an well written moment. And realistic for a fantasy show.

Lots of good things about this show.

Walking

Yesterday I walked a mile and a quarter with BF. My head was pounding.  I thought I was going to faint from the heat and humidity. BF ran to the car during the last quater mile to get water for me. I poured it on my head and back.  I felt better and kept moving. 

My hip feels the same as if I had just sat around yesterday. There is no increase in pain. The pain is still there but it is very manageable. That is sort of amazing.

The only thing that hurt was my head. I know now that might have been from a medication the doc increased to help with a different problem. Now that I'm 72 hours out from having the med in my system I think we can attribute the weeklong headache to the med. 

The sun pounding on my head is never a good thing ever. I know now to wear a hat or walk when it's cooler. 

I am thinking I can try walking everyday in addition to my pool work. I do walk the dog twice a day but that's a different sort of walking. It's more like being pulled. 

I know doing the pool helps me sleep. I want to go to sleep. My mind still runs and runs and runs but eventually my body says no! you must sleep now. 

I am sort of amazed at how doing something manageable and reasonable for my body is helping me feel better. Why didn't I do this before?

I am happy at this development.
