Day: December 17, 2012

After spending the weekend in bed alternately coughing, hacking, choking and with nose bleeds producing enough blood to make several “B”-Movie  slasher films.

I’m finally on the down side of this cold thing.

I still have a slight ringing in my ears and suspect that there’s little obstruction in the right that could lead to a full blown ear infection.

Needless to say I haven’t been any fit company so if you tried to call or sent email I’m sorry you didn’t reach me, although you may be glad you didn’t. I’d turned the phone ringer off so that I could sleep.

On the plus side… I’ve been able to avoid decongestants for about 24 hours which means that my mind is clearing and my memory is working again. The reason that I avoid decongestants is that they really mess with my head and I don’t like that. I’d rather put up with using a box of kleenex an hour. 

Of course I’ll bitch and complain about it no matter what.

Hey, It’s my god-given right as a man to bitch and complain when I’m sick, and I expect special treatment too. Of course what I expect and what happens are two entirely different things.

Even the dogs rotate looking after me. When they change shifts they pause and you can almost hear one telling the other “GOOD LUCK… Maybe we should just kill him and eat him.”

The down side in all of this is that I’m way behind in a bunch of things I had planned. Not the least of which is memorization for the class I’m working my way through.

Then there’s the christmas cards and of course the decorations for the house. Essentially nothing got done this weekend.

I’m a scary scruffy sight too. I haven’t shaved in 4 days or done much in the way of grooming at all. I recall having a shower sometime yesterday but I may have missed a day prior to that.

So off to accomplish the things that I’ve let slide.

Memorization first then the other things.
