Ugh! I can't shake this damn sickness.
Had my days off this weekend...Friday/Saturday...woke up Friday coughing my head off. Got worse over the weekend. Chest congestion, coughing like no other...
I swear to God...I can't shake this at all. Everytime I get almost-well...I get crappy again. It's been this vicious cycle for almost 2 months. Working out on the ramp in this up and down Texas weather doesn't really help matters. 70 and sunny one day...cold and rainy the next.
Yes, I know I should go to the doctor. But, I'm poor and my health insurance with the new job doesn't kick in for another 2 weeks or so. Damn being poor. Damn the lack of a universal health care system in the U.S.
So, in the mean time, I'm calling in sick for a day or 2...I'm killing Mucinex like it's candy and laying around watching alot of TV. Luckily...the TiVo is jampacked with greatness... a few The Simpsons episodes (including the classic "Monorail" episode), a few episodes of Airline (a must for those of us on the ground), Rocky, Chicago, a few episodes of Third Watch, and 24 is on tonight, too. Not to mention a little spring training baseball and some EPL soccer. TiVo is the greatest invention ever. I never get to watch TV anymore... and now I'll be all kinds of caught up.
So yeah, I guess it's time to plant my big ass back on the couch with a comfy blanket. Until next time...here's to Diet Dr. Pepper and Mucinex.

Being broke and unable to go to the doctor isn't a joke.
Ummm...yeah, I am that broke. I use my best friend's computer because I had to sell mine.
I'd rather wait that not be able to afford it at all.
