I'm really sick this time.
|
My throat feels like someone just poured a bucket full of acid down it. I can barely breathe out my own nose. I can�t even walk up the two flights of stairs at work without gasping for breath. Which is why I�m at home. This cold is still invading my body. I think I�m getting better though. After being drunk off Nyquil all weekend, popping cold pills and gulping down as much liquid as my throat will allow, I think I�m making progress. My fever is down�for now. I can finally stand up without feeling lightheaded and like I�m going to faint and my voice is starting to come back. But rather than go to work and spread my germs (like some of my very un thoughtful co-workers did) I opted to spend my day at home, in bed, watching TV. I went home early yesterday too. But don�t forget I got the new part time gig I�m doing which started last night. Even though I felt like shit run over twice, I got dressed and drove 20 miles from my house in traffic to sit in a fucking meat locker for 5 hours. I�m going to have to remember to dress in lots of layers when I go to this job. Apparently the way they keep the evening workers awake is by turning the air conditioner on, despite the fact that it�s about 40 degrees outside. Remind me again why I�m doing this??? Oh yeah, I have a very bad shopping habit! I will be back at work tomorrow. I am lucky enough to have a job that seems to be so damn important that they just don�t know what to do when I�m out. They better pray I don�t get a better job offer. J-mac called last night. He doesn�t seem himself. He called to tell me that one of his Uncles was murdered over the weekend. An apparent robbery that went bad. This is the second person in less than a month the J-mac knew personally that was murdered. I think it�s starting to get to him. Maybe I will send him a card. Let him know that I care and that I�m thinking about him even though I can�t be there with him. Damn I miss that boy. |
