I spend half my time at the office and half at the seafood market. Last week, we prepared for the holiday paper, the largest issue ever. And I developed a slight cough by Thursday. And ear ache by Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, the two biggest days of the seafood season, I went home each night with a killer ear ache and inability to really hear anything. I felt okay during the day, but nighttime sucked.
Irony: I got an ear and throat infection on Friday night of a long weekend. Luckily, a hospital clinic in Kmart was open on Monday, so I could go get an antibiotic prescription. FINALLY.
Further irony: Dad's new insurance plan began Friday. The company somehow failed to register me, so we're waiting for that to kick in.
I couldn't even do interviews because I sounded bad and can't really hear on the phone. So for the first time in a while, I didn't submit any articles. Lame. Watched foreign films instead because I could read them. Glared at cough syrup for about an hour before I submitted to swallowing it. Also sat in the sun today, then sat on the porch and ate Mexican food while it rained, which was awesome. Back to seafood market tomorrow because I'm not contagious.
Faced with a half-cup of cough syrup, I'm suddenly an 8-year-old again. I glared at it for an hour before swallowing it.Hope you all had a great Independence Day! I watched fireworks on TV. What did everyone else do?
Congratulations on your new job! I worked on the 4th...as a greeter. So BORING. I like your photoshop art.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I love the picture, and the fact that you're in your Birthday Ball dress. But I'm sorry you're sick - or "not sick," as the case may be. And congrats on the job!! Corey told me you were working there now.
ReplyDeleteCorey and I spent the 4th with my parents and sparklers... we had an invitation to go see fireworks in Philly, but we were too lazy for that.
By the way, did you get my postcard from California? I hope so!
