Still Coughing
This is the first time I have gone this long without posting and one of my parents hasn’t asked if I’m ok. Maybe that is because I’m 30 now? I’ll have to ask them. BASICALLY, I’m still sick. BUT not sick sick, just annoying and stupid mostly dry COUGH sick. It means I can’t work though and I keep having to turn down calls including today I was supposed to work but didn’t because if my cough gets any worse it’ll be hospital bad. I have gotten coughs since I was a kid so I know how to handle them and if I worked in an office I’d go because I feel pretty much fine other than, *normal* to suddenly migraine headaches, sore ribs and a sore back my stomach muscles only start to hurt if I have a full on cough attack and tears are running down my face and I can hardly breath and Adam is all ARE YOU OK? But I can’t answer him I can only flip my head all over the place rolling around like a fish waving my hands like they are flippers. When I worked in offices I’d go in cough a bit and get sent home but at least I went. I knew getting that cold so early in the season was BAD NEWS!
Some of you will remember Mrs. E. my horrid German landlord. I fixed some of the July 2005 archives and there are some stories of her antics under the assholes category and OF COURSE you long term readers will remember this, CLICK HERE NOW. And really that is all you need. And this. Anyway, she was being herself again the other day and cornered Adam about my cough because she says that I cough too much, she doesn’t like it, Adam just walked away from her. I’ve yet to run into her. I can’t wait until I do!
Last night a migraine sent me to bed and I said MY HEAD HAS HAD ENOUGH OF THIS COUGH IT IS REBELLING. I did not yell it though I said it very quietly. Yelling would be silly. SO I was not able to read before bed last night and I am coming down the home stretch of A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini which is taking a lot longer than normal for me to read because how I feel is dictating when I can read. My friend I lent The Kite Runner to is done it which rules because it means I get my book back. AWESOME.
I didn’t post because I didn’t want to complain and really I am not doing much except not doing things I am asked to which is unlike me and I’m sorry. I have also been coughing all over the key board which is probably what got Adam sick but he is almost better, me not so much BUT I can’t go any longer without posting, blogging is somewhat of a screwy addiction at times.

Ugh, I know that cough. It’s horrible. The best thing I found for it was really hot tea with lemon to cut the rattle, and a dose of rum to calm down the spasms. Oh, and codeine cough syrup. Did I forget that part?

i just realized that she could have been born when hitler was coming to power. thats why we must never mention the war…
oh basil you old so and so.
she kind of reminds me now of my highscholl french teacher mrs. whitworth. it IS weird that i was taught french by someone with a british accent, right? it must be an institutionalized irony put in place to remind us who won on the plains of abraham. but guess what board of education? wolfe died too motherfucker. anyways we were forced to cover our textbooks with brown bag paper in mosta our classses, so it began in grade eight the first week (maybe second i probly did it late) i drew the first picture of mrs whitworth. i believe this was the ‘captain baguette’ cover. she was flexing her massive muscular arms hands on hips in a skin tight purple and gold superhero tight setup with a crest on her chest, a fresh golden brown baguette in the center. it flustered her. we had to sit with our books closed on the desk often, and she would change her route through the desks when she would catch her likeness with a sidewayzer. the next year i drew another, and one for my sister. this produced the greatest highschool soundbite ever bitten, and when i say this, keep in mind that this little english woman sounded just like C3PO. i wasnt there, but i can imagine the shit eating grin on saras face when mrs whitworth saw it on her desk, and she says, “its bad enough with your brotha!”. that poor woman. i had her four years in a row. one year, im thinking grade nine-tenish i drew four teachers on my french book, the theme amd title was “the HD Stafford Village People”. my socials teacher mr bull was the macho man, the pervy principal mr dukowski was the indian, whitworth was the cop, and i now cant think of who i made the construction worker. it was a goodun. the other teachers liked it who werent in the hds village people the ones who i drew mostly gave me the crazy fear look.

Man, I hate coughing. I’ve taken ages to get over the last cold I had. I’m over it but still snotty, after a month. Hayfever tablets don’t make any difference so I don’t know what it is. Hope you get better soon. Missed your posts xox

Yikes, I hope you are wayyyyyyyyy past the contagious stage. I hope you are feeling better, 1) because I am coming down there SOON, 2) I will explain in a seperate email and 3) because it sucks to be sick!
