I watched the first 2 seasons of The Guild before 10 a.m. I did a 10 a.m. conference call, during which someone’s kitten decided to puke on my carpet. I then watched The Proposal and The Felon (two separate movies but it would be an amusing combination). The Felon was chosen simply because it had Val Kilmer. It wasn’t very good. And now I’m contemplating what I should watch to further mess up the Fop’s Netflix recommendations. Perhaps some Airwolf or Kevin Costner movies?

When you go to bed at 8 p.m. and sleep for a handful of hours here and there, when you wake up coughing at 6 a.m. it quickly becomes obvious that you’re not getting back to sleep comfortably anyway so you might as well get up. By “quickly”, I mean over the course of an hour of inner monologue alternating between whining denial and whining pouting at being sick. For the record, I’m firing my inner monologue’s writers and getting new ones. I’ll do it myself if I have to!

So, up at 7 a.m. this morning, with no foreseeable productivity due to a very congested brain, I started watching Netflix and hitting reload on social networking pages between bouts of sneezing and coughing.

I am not a morning person at the best of times. Sporadic sleep, cold medicine and and generally being a snot monster does not improve my mornings. I’m also unimpressed that I’m sick for the 2nd time this year. I thought we’d worked it out that I only had to be sick once a year now after being sick almost constantly the whole time I worked for the schools?

To make up for all this injustice, I am still in my pjs.

My awesome Fop has gone forth into the world to show ID to buy me Better Medicine and juice as well as Puffs Plus, because my nose is delicate and see the aforementioned description of my state of being. He rocks. More importantly, he’s willing to sign off promising not to make anything illegal from the cold medicine he’s buying for me. Yay!

So the most annoying part of being sick? I’m sufficiently sick that I can’t do anything more involved that watching tv. No knitting, no reading, no real useful brain waves at all. Wasted days.

health, sick
