I Hate Being Sick

Apparently, EVERYONE is getting sick this week. Doesn't it always seem like the minute you have a cold you hear from a doctor or a friend that EVERYONE is getting sick. That kinda aggravates me because I know I am the only one out of my friends that is sick. Kate is even fine so who is this "everyone" else that is now sharing my pain?

Anyhow, no I am not waiting for some sympathy handout from Gates or from anyone at this point. I would just like to simply express that I hate being sick. Since I woke up this morning I have gone through four boxes of Kleenex or tissue or whatever else you would like to call it. I can't help but to call it Kleenex. Kleenex and Q-Tip are two brands that dominate. Pay respect. He, he, he.

In any case, I am sitting here sick and sharing this random cold medicine induced thoughts with you. Don't pretend that you don't love it. Well, if you are one of the "everyone" group that is sick also, I hope you feel better. Over and out for now. May I suggest vitamin C to everyone?!

Not As Planned

Remember how I said I was going to be cheery and optimistic for the next couple of days? Well, that didn't happen. I got the flu, had a 103 temp and got stuck in the urgent care Thanksgiving night with all the other individuals that currently pay a high monthly premium for horrible insurance coverage.

I mean really, why am I paying almost $150 a month to get this type of coverage? It's all about how much money you make. I bet you Bill Gates has a doctor on call and never would even think of stepping foot in some low-grade urgent care.

My frustration levels had doubled. In addition to the "poor man's" treatment, I ended up taking a cab back home because I was too feverish to drive. I ended up back at home with no one there to take care of me. No wife or girlfriend, no friend, and absolutely no maids or butlers to cater to my every need. If I ever make even a fraction of the amount of money Gates does the first thing I will do is hire a butler. If I don't find a wife I am going to need the support of another human being. Ugh.
