Day Three: The Saga Continues

It’s day three of my flu saga.  I’m still running a high fever, but hopefully the antibiotics are going to start working soon.  I’m really tired of feeling like crap.  Plus, it’s tough to be coherent at work when you’re head is throbbing non-stop — at least I’m able to work from home.  I’m praying that I feel better tomorrow.  Thank God for Tylenol. 

Because I’m contagious, I had to cancel my plans for tonight (bachelorette party with the gals).  I didn’t want to make the bride-to-be sick.  Instead, I watched the season premiere of Lost.  It feels like it’s been a year since the last episode; it took me a while to get back into the story.  In true “Lost” fashion, the more they tell you, the more questions you have (i.e. “Oceanic Six”, why were there only six rescued?  How did Hurley get off the island if he went with Locke? Why isn’t Kate in jail? What happened to Jack to make him want to go back to the island?).  That’s the fun — and the frustration — of watching this show. 

The episode was entertaining even though it didn’t progress as fast as I had wanted.  I was hoping to see the “rescue crew” arrive, but it looks like that will happen next week instead.  There were a few touching moments when everyone learns about Charlie’s demise (poor Claire and Hurley) and when the group splits up with some choosing to go with Locke and others choosing to stay with Jack.  I was surprised to see Sawyer go with Locke…that’s not what I’d expected. 

All in all, it was a good premiere.   I’m looking forward to next week’s episode (along with my renewed health).
