I've Got a Fever
...and the only prescription is... MORE COWBELL!!! Yeah, sorry. I couldn't resist. Classic SNL skit. Anyway, I'm sitting here, typing away while I've got a bit of a fever at 100.4. So fun. I've just been popping a few tylenol and some other cold medicine for the past few days, although today was the first day I had fever. I haven't been feeling too bad lately though, as I haven't called in sick for work. Just started feeling crappy today. I damn near lost my voice at work. Here I am, trying to talk to my patients and my voice is reminiscent of Peter Brady's voice cracking while singing with The Silver Platters on the Brady Bunch. Oh my god- a random Brady Bunch reference. I'm such a nerd. Moving right along.... The cough is starting to bother me now, too. I hate being sick around summer. Bummer. I bet it's bronchitis. I know it is. I'll probably go see my doctor tomorrow and end up going home with a prescription of zithromax. Good ol' Z pack. Good thing I'm off tomorrow. Wait, tomorrow is Memorial Day...is the clinic even open? I'm not about to go to the ER and wait for hours on end just for some antibiotics. Screw that.
Being sick gives me a good excuse to regress. It's like being 12 years old and sick, minus the parents around to take care of you. It doesn't help that I'm watching DVDs of the OC right now. I know, I know. Embarassing (but there's just something about that Adam Brody...) I'm sitting here in my pajamas, listening to CDs I listened to from the ages of 12-20. I forgot how good the first Garbage cd was. And I realize how dorky I was at 16 to listen to stuff by nsync, bsb, britney, and hanson. Gross. Who would have guessed that nice, sweet me used to listen Snoop, Ice Cube, and Dr Dre when I was 11? Funny, now that my music taste now has more indie/alternative.
Completely unrelated, but i find it odd that for every single day this past week, I've had some random person tell me that I remind them of someone they knew in high school...someone very sweet. Very cool. It's a nice complement. Must be my charming wit and winning personality....haha. At least they didn't say I was a bitch.
Anyway, time to pop some more meds. This congestion is getting to me...
