health

I’m still struggling with whatever I have.   I feel tired, weak, achie (almost brakie).  If anything happens to my dog or my truck (not that I have a truck, just sayin’) then I’m gonna have to write me a country song.

I even went to the doctor today.  I’ll wait while you pick yourself up off the floor.  I know, a guy that goes to the doctor pre-death-bed.  Well, let me say this: at 3:00 this morning, I was trying to decide if I would rather a) end my life or b) pay the emergency room copay.  I decided for “none of the above” and waited until I could see my regular doctor this morning.

She gave me codeine, disguised as cough medicine.  She loves me.

However, my wife suggested she would be extra happy if I wouldn’t actually take any said codeine until tonite, after the kids have been wrangled (we have a soccer game and who knows what else) and then I can sleep when normal people sleep instead of all day today and then fret all night.

I thought perhaps the weak / dizzy feeling was from not eating enough Ben and Jerry’s, but alas, I remember making it through lent (which felt like about a year) without Ben and Jerry’s and never feeling like this.  Plus my wife has been cooking some awesome meals and taking care of me, so I’ve got no cause for complaint.

I just need to admit that it takes longer to get over this kind of crap now that I’m - gasp - over forty.

I mean, look, she’s lonely and people have been badgering her about her weight. She’s lost 1,000 pounds already and they still want her to walk on a treadmill.

Maggie, stand your ground! If you get on that thing, sure they’ll start you with walking, but before long they’ll be making you run before you get any Ben and Jerry’s.

Oh, and I’ve gained a half pound. But I’m not bitter.

Well, I’m sick today.  I was running a fever last night (most of the night, it seemed) and decided it would be best if I stayed home and away from healthy people at work.

Feel free to talk amongst yourselves, I don’t think I’ll be saying much.
