And a sickly New Year!

[autumnluv143]

So what can you expect of an up and coming new year, fewer than 8 hours away, when you walk into it with a massive cold and an onset of bronchitis? Joy and wonder and light? Yeah. Not really feeling that so much. On the more positive side of this, I think half the reason I eat what I do is because I eat things that are rich in taste. I can't taste much of anything right now so I haven't felt the need to eat a powerful lot. 6 of one....

I do believe that the antibiotics I was on from the staph infection have killed off anything that would have normally been willing to fight off this cold bug. The women at work are just convinced that if I don't get a stronger expectorant, or if the one I'm currently taking doesn't start working, I can "expectorant" to be in the hospital (they're clever, no?). Hey, it would give me a few days to myself....KIDDING! 

I'm not making new years resolutions. Every year I try to get all introspective and make these minor (although life-altering) changes within myself to make me more content with me and well...then I forget. I just don't have the ability (at this point in time) to carry out something so long term as "goals" or whatever. Yanno? My goals are school, beating my brother's gpa, getting into grad school and try to get wastewater treatment taken more seriously in this godforsaken state I call home. I'd say that's goal-driven enough to go around making all sorts of silly sentences of things I would like to see and would then go about timing myself to see just how fast I can get rid of them. 

It's the same thing every year with everyone I know. "Hey, my new year's resolutions lasted almost 4 months this year! yeehaw!" *blinks* Hey, at least you tried? My goals right now are: Find a new job, attend Servant's Retreat, pay my bills and ace the semester. Those are not new year resolutions. Those are real and achievable goals that I must see myself to so that I can survive. 

I'm thirsty. I'm reallly thirsty. I feel like that guy with the drinking problem in Constantine. Only water is not quenching my thirst the way nothing would that poor bastard. I know it's part of drying out due to cold medicine but OI, can't they make smarter medicine? I need a super-pill. One that will dry up my congestion without turning my tongue and air pipe into dried (yes, dried) dust. But it also needs to come with an energy side-kick and an expectorant and one that will process the fat in my body and turn half of it into muscle and the other half into brain cells. No, the meds are not making me delerious. I'm a dreamer <enter harps and birds chirping and shit here>

Bah, I'm out of here. I have to go act all chipper and happy about tonight so I can be "festive" or something for my best friend's kids. Yay. Miss Autumn is the best. *yawn*

When I had bronchitis in September the PA at my doctor's office told me to get Delsym (sp?) as an alternative to the prescription. It worked really, really well.

Feel better sweetie, I miss you!
