"exhaustion"

so i was diagnosed with walking pneumonia brought on by "exhaustion" and am on meds and was told to "take it easy" for a few days.

which is impossible of course since this is my jersey week. then i have plans this weekend (BBQ at mae's on saturday) and the hamptons the beginning of next week. i'll rest after i get back from there--and hope that i get better by then!

i'm tired. i think i will sleep early-ish tonight. i can certainly use it. i can most definitely use it!

i just hate the phlegm. i swear to god i am THE GROSSEST sick person anyone could ever meet. no joke. i really mean it. my family will attest to it, i'm sure. i'm not the kind of sick person that engenders "awww, poor thing." i'm the kind that gets the outright looks of disgust or, if the person is remotely polite, the crinkling of the nose.

but everyone shudders and walks a wide berth around me.

and i can't blame them. i just can't blame them. i'd give myself the disgusted look--and often do when i'm sick.

i can't wait for my clothes to come from patagonia!

there's been a lull in the movie industry for me since i saw slumdog millionairre. but there are a couple of movies i want to see (monsters vs aliens and i love you man) and then--the summer movie blockbuster season--TONS of movies i'm dying to see then. so yay!

beautiful days...

and i am sick. sick. sick. sick.

which really sucks. i am coughing up phlegm and i feel very bad for the people around me. they try to hide their looks of disgust and horror with sympathy--but it doesn't quite come out properly--and i can't blame them.

i even disgust me!

when i get sick--i get SICK. and so, tomorrow, after doing some work or before doing some work, i will go to the nearest walk-in clinic that i have found, which is actually about a 45 minute train ride away--and seek out some meds. no doubt it will probably be azithromycin or the like again because--no doubt, i have walking pneumonia. again.

it never fails--if i nap? i get sick. this theory has not failed yet. and yet--i couldn't help myself--i had to nap after my thanksgiving day/black friday event. so the laptop isn't going to just cost me $399.99 and tax. it will end up costing me probably $50 more as well.

still worth it i suppose.

except that i just came back from 3 days in the hamptons, plus i have 3 days next week in burlington, vermont (which if i'm not sick--should be REALLY FUN) and then new jersey again before calling it good for the rest of the year on the 18th!

i might visit the pacific northwest for a week--but considering my lack of planning...we'll see.
