I'm sick.
|
Cough, sniff, sneeze. Eyes watering, head aching, body stiff, throat itchy, trouble breathing.... All the signs are there. Yep, I�m sick. I knew it was coming. But I�m prepared. I went to Wal-Mart and bought the biggest bottle of Nyquil and some Dayquil liquid caps. I have a cupboard full of chicken soup (hey it was on sale) and blockbuster just sent me some coupons in the mail. Looks like it�s going to be a weekend in the house nursing this cold. Oh, did I mention that I finally have a REAL TV?? I have been using my 13" since I moved into my new place, but it�s so small that when I am sitting in the living room I have to sit the TV on my step stool a little closer to the couch just so I can see it. And since I am a TV junkie who usually can�t sleep without the flickering light of the TV, I was forced to carry my TV between my bedroom and living room. Luckily I have a really long cable cord that allowed me to do that. The days of transporting my TV from room to room is over. The only reason why I didn�t buy a bigger TV sooner was because my Aunt promised me her 27� TV once she moved into her new house. I finally got a chance to visit my Aunt and her new house for Thanksgiving and I was able to pick up the TV. So now I can sit comfortable on the couch and see the characters on TV without straining my eyes. Yes indeed, it�s the little things that bring me joy (or in my case the big things). Me and D are supposed to go to the movies tonight. I just hope that I am feeling up to it. In other news.... I went to the mall yesterday. After making my purchases the lady behind the counter asked if I would be needing some gift boxes...(long ass silence)..."Um, no I don�t think so"....was all I could muster. Damn, she just turned my shopping high into a shopping low. I know it�s the holidays, a time for giving and all that good shit and Yes, I should probably be spending money on others instead of myself but I just can�t help it. So now I feel guilty as hell that I just spent $64.47 on me. But it was worth it. And if Lerner would stop sending me those damn Internet coupons then I would not feel obligated to go shopping. I would be crazy to let a $25 off a $75 purchase go to waste...Right?? (your supposed to say Right!) More news.... I decided to be a Jamaican for the Holidays...i.e...I got a part time gig that starts Monday. I will be working from 5:30pm until 10:30pm Monday �Friday. For those of who are not good with numbers, that�s a 14 hour work day...65 hour work week...$250 extra dollars a week...and 1 crazy Blackpearl. The job is only until the end of the month and the money will definitely come in handy and that�s what I have to keep reminding myself. Now you see why I need to lock myself in the crib and nurse this cold. I can�t afford to be sick next week. |
