Since January 1st, I have been sick. Non-contagiously sick (thank goodness), but sick in that "I can't string more than 8 or 9 words together without eruptng in to painfull coughing spazms" sick. This would not make my job easy to do, considering that I must string together more than 9 words at a time on a semi-regular basis.

So I've ben burning through a WEEK of my "Flex Time", which really really sucks.

But on the PLUS side, I've gotten to watch all the episodes of Boston Legal up-to-date, and of course have been mightilly entertained by my fever-dreams.

(Chuck Norris is a BAD ASS no matter WHAT setting you put him in, even D&D-esque Knighthood. And if he tells you to cut off your own leg to prevent the poison from spreading, YOU DO IT!)

Doctor prescibed some pretty potent medicine for me. We asked if it had Kodine in it, he said "Oh no... this is BETTER". And the Pharmasist said "You wanna be sure to not exceed the reccomended dosage on this stuff... one teaspoon will KNOCK YOU OUT". Well I'm a big boy,and the reccomended dosage did NOTING for me except make the coughing stop for about 20 minutes. So now I'm taking a DOUBLE DOSE of the stuff and, well, it doesn't really make me feel any better, ut at least it makes me care less about the pain. Oh, and it makes me sweat like Richard Simmons is playing the Oldies for me.

Get Well Soon!

I've learned that drinking warm tea with dried sage leaves dropped in helps with the respiratory stuff... and EmergenC is a beautiful thing as well. Part of why I rarely have debilitating respiratory issues...

Thank you! Gonna get me some of that EmergenC, or at least some "Airborne"? That's another one that's been suggested.

Antibiotice?!?!? Ugh. I'm REALLY hoping itwon't come to that. I always seem to be the ONE GUY who has soem sort of mild side-effect reaction to them :(
