I have a bad cold right now. My right hand is also very inflamed, so writing is hard for me. But I read your posts.
I also watch a lot of movies; finished "Fingersmith" yesterday (1860s England) and also saw "Grease" again. I've also been doing some sewing, even if it isn't good for me; my rope farthingale is coming along nicely and I made a navy, narrow, straight, knee-length skirt yesterday.
