Yeah, But Did You Die…

I don’t know about anybody else but I am a terrible sick person.  I just want to be left the fuck alone.  I see all these people out there doing things while sick and I admire them. Even if they are essentially spreading their cooties near and far.  Keep your damn cooties to yourself!  I say this but I went in to work today after being sick all day yesterday.

Getting a cold sucks, and the flu is even worse.  Every single time I get sick it always starts with me thinking my allergies are acting up.  You would think after 40+ years of life I would know the difference, but nope.  I have no idea why I continue to think it’s allergies, other than maybe my denial powers extend to being sick too.  If I just deny I am getting sick, maybe it won’t happen. 

Yesterday I tried everything I could to get it to flush out of my system; herbal detox tea, peppermint tea, kombucha, cold medicine, a hot bath, and pho.  Although not necessarily in that order.  I thought I was on the mend last night, feeling a little better after eating pho.  Woke up this morning not feeling too bad, but yeah, 4 hours later and I am rethinking this whole work thing. 

Okay, time to suck it up and be an adult and stop being so dramatic, but seriously, can I just go back to bed now please…
