Sniff-Sniff, Cough-Cough

My personality changes, I sneer instead of smile, I feel like I’m missing out on living (if I could call this excuse for cruising through time living) I resent my friends for making plans I can't attend. Selfish, yes. I'm sick. The flu-ish, stuffy head, running nose, dry throat, croaky voice.

I wasn't feeling 100% on Friday, a couple panadol and cough lollies, sharing a couple bottles of champers I was fine... Hang over on Saturday, Lisa and I had a 3 hour brunch, well brunch, lunch and afternoon tea at D B's. Marginally better, then I get the phone call. My mum had a fish bone stuck in her throat, I met her at the hospital, we were in the COLD waiting room for an hour before both of us have goose pimples over our skin, mum is drinking cold coke, too cold (apparently drinking coke would help - coke apparently dissolves the bone slowly) I left the hospital to get jumpers for both of us, it was too late, heavy head by 8:00pm I left to put on some trackies and call it a night. Mum is OK, the bone removed and she will be eating soup due to discomfort.

My plans for Sunday were thrown into disarray; I wanted to go to the beach, then the Art Gallery then the footy. (I know - what a combination) All I could fathom was the gallery; the Self Portrait Renaissance to Contemporary Exhibition was fantastic.

Yesterday I came to work, coughing splattering everywhere, I couldn't construct a sentence, I called it a day at 11:30am, I love my friend J., she offered to bring me chicken soup *squeals* I was home and bored within minutes. Day time television is crap! When did it get this bad? I watched 2 movies, The Last Castle and Clueless, slept and back at work today, still not 100%.

Scorpy, Scorpy, Scorpy... chick flicks! What were you doing to yourself?

I love both movies, I always cry in "Love Actually" so beautiful, I totally agree that its not recommended to watch with a broken heart.

All TV is crap! I couldn't sleep from 12.45-2.30am last night and there is NOTHING on. I already watched Before Sunset in the evening so wasn't up to watching another movie. There weren't even informercials to watch! France has German porn in the wee hours - why not us!

Steph, you never did the experiment at school with the tooth in the coke? It dissolves in 3 days! I love black magic ;-)

Watched a couple of SATC episodes with dinner!

A campaign - now that's one I could get passionate about! ;-)
