Someone's made me sick...and yes I'm looking at you. Fortunately I don't need to do much but sit here and answer the phone. And probably make everyone else sick at work, that's like my favorite thing to do. They are so lucky that they don't pay me for sick time...if I get sick I don't get paid anything anyway. Future employers be warned! I'm actually not as sick as I used to be, since I started doing yoga my immune system has gotten loads better, plus with the acupuncture (which has helped my allergies), I think I could recover from a cold in two days. The sinus infection thing took a little longer to recover from, but I think I was well in like 4-5 days without any major antibiotics...just over the counter sinus meds. That's what they give you at the doc's anyway...aside from the antibiotics that could possibly give you a yeast infection (well not to men for the most part). Antibiotics work but they also can make you sicker. I remember when I had an ulcer a couple of years ago thanks to our little friend h.pylori, I had to take these huge antibiotic pills than made me feel like I was dying. Imagine me working with foster youth all day and having to feel like hell just because of that little bacteria in my stomach, so I quit that bitch so fast and decided to go to acupuncture instead (I finally listened to them and quit eating cheese, so now I can actually breathe through my nose and smell stuff). Once I get health insurance I may have to go down that route again 'cause the little buggers are reactivating and I'm having trouble digesting most of the food that I eat these days. Might also be because if I eat utter crap food then I'll most definitely get sick to my stomach. I felt it hardcore this past week with Thanksgiving. I'm not really big on eating till you're lethargic holidays anymore. I can't really eat a whole lot anymore, I get full really fast on like 10-15 bites of food. And boy do I love to eat...what a shame! Like this piece of cake I was just eating, it was too sweet or whatever...I know, it's friggin' cake, it's supposed to be sweet! If they made a sour cake I would like that so much better though. Mmmmm, sour cake. So I'm slowly getting sick, so I need to take care of myself and go to yoga and then go to bed early after watching the last episode of the second season of "The Wire" (yeah I know I bored you to death talking about it yesterday). Really good episode last night though, Omar is the shit! Sometimes I don't know what's going on because they talk in code so much. I might even take a Benadryl if the sniffles are too much for me. I had a sneezing fit last night for no apparent reason, but it went away in like 10 minutes. Now I know why, I might get sicker by the end of the day. But if I maintain an air of wellness, I'm sure I'll make it through. I feel bad for the girl that gives me breaks, she might get sick too. But at least she gets paid sick time. I don't. So maybe I'll go to work even though I'm sick. I know it doesn't sound like fun, but this is my bread and butter until I get a real job. Which might happen soon or whatever, some place is checking my references, hopefully for the position I want and not a case management position (ugh I always get stuck in those, it's like purgatory for the over-skilled). Anyway, I'm gonna get off this thing and read something entertaining until lunch time.
One more thing - I was reading this article about the Duggars family, they're that crazy family of nearly 18 (going on 19) kids! WTH is up with those people!? That woman's poor vagina and uterus are a misshapen mass of stretched out skin, totally ravaged from the insanity of childbirth, she probably hasn't had a break in years. Every year she has a child or some insane shit like that. So anyway, they're trying to go to this amusement park in Arkansas and get there by 9am...yeah, as if! Since there are so many kids they take nearly 4-5 hours to get out of the house, but they at least manage to get there in one piece, with the van smelling like cat shit (don't ask) and deoderizer and child vomit. UGH, they're like the poster child family for not having more than 2 kids. They're all like, these are God's blessings. I think God would also strongly advise Michelle D. to get her tubes tied. Poor woman is a baby-making machine, much like the women in Margaret Atwood's book "The Handmaid's Tale" (I totally recommend it, very very haunting!). I think I'll have to find Michelle's address and mail her the book, she must REBEL! I gotta go, my head is starting to hurt!
