Eva was sick for Monday and Tuesday. We figured that Andrew would be sick as well. He was doing fine on Wednesday and then was a bit tired Wednesday night. This morning he and Eva both used a Thyme oil steam to help them out. However, I got a call from Allison around 11:30 and she told me that Andrew had a high temp. I picked him up and took him to Toys R Us before going home. He had some money to spend there because some of his birthday gifts were duplicates. I figured that we’d be picking up one of the Jungle sets. Instead he picked up a container that was filled with LEGO bricks but wasn’t a specific set. I asked him why and he said that he didn’t want to be told what to build because that is boring. That’s my boy. He loves going his own way.
It was nice to have him home for the afternoon even though he slept through most of it. After lunch I we went upstairs so he could lay down while he watched some Llama, Llama on Netflix. I thought he was a bit old for the show but he enjoyed it very much. While he watched I read more of Ready Player One. I finished it today as Andrew drifted off to sleep. The book was incredible. I loved it! I did think it would be better if it had at least mentioned Thundercats or Transformers. The book did at least mention Voltron so that was cool. I wonder if Voltron will be in the movie.
Get ready to binge watch Netflix because if 2017 is any indication, 2018 is going to be a pretty incredible year from Netflix. Now, I do not know everything that is going to be on Netflix in 2018, new series, specials and movies are being announced all the time. But, because I am a Netflix Stream Team member I have access to see some of the things that are coming earlier than most. For 2018 Netflix has asked the Stream Team members to talk about what they are most looking forward to in 2018. I figured that I’d give a Top 10 list of what I am looking forward to. This past year I binged so many different series and shows that the first two items on the list that I am looking forward to are second seasons of shows that I really enjoyed.
Ozark Season 2 – It took me a while before I gave this show a chance even though I love Jason Bateman. I’ve been a fan ever since he was on Silver Spoons. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched almost everything that he’s ever done and in Ozark he not only acts but directs and he does a great job with it. Season 2 is set to return in 2018 and I am eagerly awaiting it.
Jessica Jones Season 2 – Set to return on March 8th this Marvel hero show is one of the better ones to have come out of the series of grittier shows highlighting more of Marvel’s somewhat grounded characters in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Jessica is a smart-ass private investigator with super strength but she doesn’t want to use her powers or embrace the hero thing. We last saw Jessica in Marvel’s The Defenders and she was a bright spot in that series.
