The Handmaid’s Tale
This show causes me to have all the emotions within an hour. It’s also not been predictable whatsoever. I’m hanging on my seat, I’m sucked in and extremely engaged. Usually, when I watch TV or shows or whatever, I’m doing a secondary task, like gaming or crocheting. Not with this show. I’m glued to every scene thirsty for what happens next. It can also be quite triggering. It’s the one and the only reason I even subscribe to Hulu.
The storyline from rotten tomatoes:
Based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Atwood, this series is set in Gilead, a totalitarian society in what used to be part of the United States. Gilead is ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state, and is faced with environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a devastated world, the few remaining fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One of these women, Offred, is determined to survive the terrifying world she lives in, and find the daughter that was taken from her.

I am feeling pretty under the weather today. I woke up with a cold sweat and I have a really sore throat, I can feel it inflamed up to the back of my throat. I have developed a dry cough as well and I’m really achy today. I had to cancel my physical therapy today because those wonderful people certainly don’t need these germs. My hot coffee feels soothing to my throat. Zahkya had a fever yesterday and she really struggled to sleep last night but she doesn’t say anything hurts. She acts like she’s feeling better today, far from the wreck she was last night. I have a feeling I’m getting whatever she has. I’ve lucked out this past year. I’ve worn my mask in public almost every time I’m out and I’ve managed to dodge the kids being sick with various things over the past 2-3 months, but something got a hold of me this time. I just hope it doesn’t develop into anything worse than it is today because I have a lot of responsibilities that have to get done every day whether I’m sick or not. #momlife
