Fighting for my life (I’m fine)
I still feel sick. My throat hurts. My vocal cords feel shredded from coughing so much. My head hurts from coughing so much. I’m tired. It all around sucks. And what’s annoying is that this sickness is due to pollen. The flu, strep throat, a stomach bug — those are dignified ways to be taken out… your body is fighting an infection! But to be taken out by trees and plants and stuff? Embarrassing.
I don’t want to put anything else in my body. Not another DayQuil, not another Aleve, not another cough drop, not another nasal spray, no more tea and honey. Enough!! None of it is working as effectively as it should.
I think the only true solution is to face off with the culprit of my woes: that damn pile of pollen sitting in my driveway. Pollen, you’ve been terrorizing me and making me feel like shit for days on end. Leave me alone.
Is this funny to you? Is this a joke to you? Are you happy with yourself?
Why am I completely taken out by something as natural as the seasons changing? I feel weak or defective. If this takes me out this badly, surely my gay ass would have been dead instantly in the cave-man times.
And the irony is, I’m on spring break! My body has an uncanny ability to time my sicknesses with my work breaks. Last year, I was healthy all year until I got food poisoning on Christmas Eve and spent all night and Christmas morning vomiting. (╥﹏╥)
Wish me a full recovery.
