fo real fo real

OK, sickness still on par of a real sickness, so I went to the doctor today. I was scared to find a new doctor and get everything squared away with someone who'd never met me before, but I did it all myself. Figured it all out, found my insurance and prescription cards and found the place all by myself. I even talked with human resources to find out when I can change from shitty blue cross blue shield to a real insurance plan and set a to-do in broker vision so I'd remember.

Doc looked at me like I was a pussy and was like, "guess we caught this one nice and early." Then I said, "Doc, did you notice the bullet hole in the back of my throat because it hurts a lot." "no." "Well, if that isn't gone by monday you're going to an ENT specialist." Great, so I still have to deal with this fucking stab wound in the roof of my mouth until monday. I think it's from eating chips or hard bread at work and cutting the dogshit out of the roof of my mouth. Regardless, my mouth hurts and I had to spend 15 bucks on advill. Fuck it. I'll just eat mad pills until I feel good and sleep.

Anyways, I got Nasonex nasal spray and zyrtec (which is so small I'm afraid I won't swallow it if I'm not careful). I used both this afternoon at around 4 when I got back along with some advil and a few glasses of water. I wanted to wait until they kicked in to go to work because I still couldn't talk and I felt like shit so I kicked back on the couch and listened to some tunes... and slept until about 6 when brad called a couple times to see what I was up to. So basically, I was worthless at work today. Went in for a few hours, made about 70 dials, left for the doctor, came home, slept all afternoon, and now I'm sitting here drowsey like Frank The Tank with a dart in his neck from these meds. I almost bought nodoze to counteract the zyrtec, but I am trying to keep finances to a bare minimum. Chock Full O' Nuts is going to have to live up to the task.

Unfortunately, if I don't shape up real soon I'm going to miss out on a whole weekend, but whatever. At least I'll get to sleep and by monday I hope to be back to my old self again.

Ever notice how when you're sick for a couple days you can't remember the last time you were healthy? Right now I'm looking back on all those days I could speak clearly and swallow without any pain and wishing I had appreciated them more while I had them. Whatever, I'm just a puss in boots. I can take a boot to the face, but a post nasal drip = incapacitated.

I'm going to go back to napping seeing as that's what I should be doing anyways.

Zrytec doesn't make your drowsy. Its an allergy medication. Also it takes a few days to kick in.

really, it says right on the bottle. I'll post the pic. Sounds like you know more about this drug than I do, drufus, so I'll take your word on it.

why would you want to? Become a character in the ongoing saga that is Another Waste of Time. Or I could just stop calling you out if you'd like.
