Sick, But Not Really Sick

Remember when I used to post frequently and about non-health-related topics? Neither do I.

So I'm trying to figure out if my immune system is crashed due to the limited amount of food I've eaten recently, or whether it has something to do with standing outside in the wind and rain for three hours on Friday night, followed by over-consumption of vodka cranberries and two extremely long cigarettes, wrapped up with a day of hungover errand-running and close proximity to sick children.

But whatever the cause, I now have that kind of Sick that makes you feel like there's millions of shards of broken glass in your throat and that your neck glands are going to actually pop out of your body - split from your throat like some kind of fucked up cell division - but it's also the kind of Sick that doesn't actually give you a fever (i.e., an excuse to stay in bed all day) and therefore you must remain conscious and go to work and try not to scare anyone into thinking you've got the plague, "No really, this snot is all clear so we're cool, don't worry."

I've been drinking fluids like mad, which sends me to pee every 15 minutes or so (did I mention that the toilet seats around here are made of ICE?), but nothing else seems to be helping the burning eye/screaming throat/fuzzy brain situation, and the little bit of appetite I've managed to work up lately has vanished again, leaving me to my saggy pants and even tinier boobs (it's possible, I assure you) and a stomach that makes very angry sounds when I'm trying to sleep.

So basically, WAH. Oh, and WAAAAHHHH.

On another note, my mother did NOT approve of the "tone" of my bio (found here), which basically tells me that I did it right. God help us all when the day comes that she finds this blog. I'm guessing she'll like my bio here even less.

I'd also like to give a big shout out to my former boss whom I just learned reads this blog, like, even when I talk about midget porn, which in turn means I can never again use him as a reference. Fuck.

  1. goddamn that sucks. Do you like screwdrivers? I think OJ cures everything and vodka certainly can't hurt.

  3. Poor theeeeeeng.

    An ancient Mexican remedy when you're sick is to drink warm tequila mixed with honey and orange. Three of them should do the trick. I'm not joking. They gave it to me while I was there and the next day I felt great!

  4. Maybe he digs midget porn and now you'll get a really great reference? Don't be so pessimistic, frowny face.

  5. Are you fucking KIDDING me?! That bio was fucking HILARIOUS! I'm still laughing. Girl, you are sick in the best way. Your mother, as we know, has a terminal case of conservatism.

    Now about your throat - taking vitamins? Multi, plus 1000 mg of vitamin C every hour until you start feeling better. It'll make you shit your brains out, but it works. Adelle Davis. I'd swear by it.

    I'd give you a good reference. Anybody who takes accounting too seriously should never get anywhere near anybody's accounts. I've done bookkeeping for most of my adult life, and I'd swear by that, too.

  9. First of all, your bio is in keeping with the rest of the bios.. Tell your mom it's tongue in cheek.. And since she's your mom, or course she's conservative.. She just wants the best for her baby!! Even if it drives her baby crazy!!! :):):)

  10. The only certain thing I've pulled from this post is that now you can DEFINITELY use your former boss as a reference. Totally!
