F is For Vitamin

I would be lying to you if I told you that I was well. The truth is that I am not. In fact, I’m very sick. The doctors aren’t too sure what’s wrong either. One of the things I hate to do is tell people I’m sick. Reasons for this include:

• Some people think I’m faking it to get out of work. This is untrue.
• Some people think I’m perpetually sick. You would be too, if you and had irregular diet patterns with a hedonistic lifestyle caused by the coolness of living alone.
• Some people are just jealous that others get time off to recuperate whilst they soldier on with their petty insignificant careers.

When I’m sick, I usually just stay at home and try to sleep it off. If anybody calls to ask, I’d pretend that I’m leave or something like that with a similar effect. The dreariness of going through the motions to explain that I was sick, and at home and what I was going through becomes such a friggin bore especially if all you want to do is rest.

Strangely, I’m one of those people who do not dwell on the past, live in the present and worry incessantly about the future. In my latest stroke of madness, the awful reality of my mortality gripped me by the balls and sent cold beads of sweat down my back, forcing me to call my insurance agent and increase my coverage just in case shit happens.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go slay the Z monster.

I swap with you. You go reservist, I take MC. Confirm you will feel 500% better.

Get well soon, Cowboy!

no wonder you so free can blog all day :p

take care man

After coming down with a nasty high fever that lasted well over 2 weeks a few months back my perspective towards sickness changed. During those days I was bedridden for 3 days (barely eating anything and only drink plain water), wasn’t able to walk properly for more than a week so I spend most of the time in bed. The sickness gave me an excuse to not have a care to the world, those calls and sms from friends and family saying I should rest and not worry about anything feels really nice :-)

Main point? Being sick is a great excuse for a long deserved rest and provides an escape from everyday stressful life :-p I used to hate being sick so much, but now I don’t. Ironicly, I don’t get sick as much as last time now :-/ (I used to be very prone to illness).

Hey this has stopped being funny. What do you have, dude? Not dengue right?

does all that come with an itchy feel to the balls? they will drop off in time forthe wedding, no worries.

Perpetually sick alright ! I’d be too if such thing as MC existed here.
