They installed leather reclining seats since the last time we&#8217;ve been there (and raised ticket prices from $1.75 to $2.75). I can&#8217;t decide whether I love or hate the new seats. On the plus side it makes the aisles so wide &nbsp;no one can reach your seat to kick it and the seats are large and comfy.

I was sick of it losing 25% in mere minutes. It spent more time on the charger than being used and was a constant source of anxiety and frustration. Now it&#8217;s almost like having a new phone. I can use it all day and it still has 20-30% battery life when I go to bed. I hope it stays like that for at least another year since I&#8217;m not thrilled with the price or design of the latest phones; consequently I&#8217;m not in a hurry to upgrade. I&#8217;m holding off on installing iOS 11 too since it will kill some of my favorite apps once I upgrade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When I woke up Saturday with a slightly sore throat I knew I had caught Joe&#8217;s cold despite our best efforts not to infect me. I&#8217;ve spent the last several days feeling exhausted and congested. I haven&#8217;t been this sick in years; I even called in sick to work on Tuesday. I hadn&#8217;t gotten a flu shot yet or this might have been avoided but with the allergy testing I didn&#8217;t have any arms left to spare for more needles. In any case, I started taking zinc right away and I think it helped speed up the process since Joe has been sick for nearly two weeks and I&#8217;m already starting to feel better. That&#8217;s a good thing because I have a busy five day weekend ahead of me. More on that later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday was rainy so we ended up going to the cheap theater to see Despicable Me 3.
