It&#8217;s actually for everyone else&#8217;s protection. If someone can tell we&#8217;re sick from 100 feet away they know two things.<\/p>\n<p>1 We&#8217;re infectious, the rest of the tribe should stay away.<\/p>\n<p>2 We&#8217;re probably really bad tempered and unless you want a stone ax in your head&#8230; Probably best you stay away.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll eat when we&#8217;re hungry, we&#8217;ll forage in the food stores and cholesterol BE DAMNED! We&#8217;ll sleep, watch TV, we&#8217;ll jerk off cause we want to feel better if only for a few minutes and we&#8217;ll pull out the whiskey, scotch, or whatever because that gives us a burn in our throat that&#8217;s way better than Nyquil.<\/p>\n<p>In my case the dogs are on guard protecting me. It&#8217;s kind of nice &amp; I sleep soundly when they&#8217;re on guard. These guys don&#8217;t bark unless there&#8217;s something they&#8217;re worried about. For the most part they&#8217;re content to sniff me occasionally, (Checking to see if I&#8217;m dead, I sure smell dead.) then back to the foot of the bed watching the door.<\/p>\n<p>This Valentines day&#8230; all bets are off, I&#8217;m not going anywhere, doing anything, or engaging in a Hallmark Holiday. I&#8217;m in bed, in a cave with the flickering garish light of a TV, the only source of illumination. I&#8217;m cranky and I&#8217;m going to stay right here until either I can&#8217;t stand my own stink or I get well whichever comes first.<\/p>\n<p>if you want to see the &#8220;nice&#8221; me&#8230; The first appointment is two weeks from next Monday&#8230; I&#8217;ll see you then!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Valentines day.
