I'm feeling shitty. Crappy, crummy in fact. It started with the beginnings of a sore throat on Friday and kept on all through the weekend, with added sniffles, some sneezing, some dizzy headcoldy feelings. It sucked. Well it still sucks, I wasn't much better today, at least not in the morning.
Now, this is the sort of thing that sucks no matter what, feeling sick is shitty, and I'm not the sort of person who's stoic in the face of it, I let it get to me as much as anyone can... all I do is grumble about it and don't want to do anything. So yeah, it was going to be shit no matter what. The good part about being me is that I, to be perfectly honest, don't do a whole lot. And I mostly "work" from home, and have some control over the hours I keep so usually, if I'm feeling awful on Monday morning.. I can just slob around home and work on whining and getting better.
But no. Today of all fucking days in my boring pointless life I had stuff to do. Stuff! Like, go out of the house looking professional and navigating the currently largely diverted Prague tram system on a windy and cold (for August) day. I even had a fucking profile photo shot.. while looking red faced and puffy. And I had to go to a bank.
You see, even when it works out to be me it turns out that everything sucks anyway. Told you I had it hard, but you didn't believe me.

It's the sort of day when it's good to be me..

Meant to comment yesterday but life, as ever, intervened, anyway...
I'm sorry to hear the whole sore throat thing got worse, but then, they generally do, don't they. Its good to hear you take it all so badly though, whining and complaining, as I'm the same. It's nice to know I'm in good company :-)
Not that I'm trying to steal your 'afflicted thunder' but I thought I'd let you know, I'm in bed as I write, havin having been assailed by yet another migraine. Oh well these things pass.
Hugs.
Oh shit.. I guess it's a time for maladies. Or just a coincidence.. It sounds awful. I can't imagine how I'd deal with migranes.. no doubt extremely poorly, I feel for you, really I do. I hope they find a cure already cos those things sound like they suck, big time.
Today I've moved on to having a really bad cough.. and I'm feeling the fall I had yesterday.. did I mention that in the post? It's not so bad, similar to the feeling your muscles ache the day after you exercise sort of thing.. that is if you're like me.. the type of person for whom "day you exercise" is more of an anomaly than not.
No, you didn't mention your fall. Not bruised I hope? What happened? Or is that the subject of another post? That's the only good thing about shitty events... they make posting easier :-)
Thanks for being sympathetic, but I have to confess, if the migraines were as savage as they used to be, I'd not be online. Instead I'd be in a darkened room, whimpering.
Take care of yourself.
Well.. I'm glad to know that your migranes are getting better.. or so it seems. Certainly that they're not bad enough to keep you offline.. I mean, it may be selfish but then it affects me too :)
My fall was nothing serious.. I just tripped at the bottom of the steps in my building.. got up just fine, no bruises and I didn't feel anything for the rest of the day. I felt it a little when I got up this morning but it seems mostly ok now.
Now I just got this annoying cough.. *rambles on about that for another hour*
Funny you should mention being selfish, for I'm the same, always concerned that you'll have a sudden epiphany and change the direction of your life, like finding Jesus, for instance :-) (only someone who knows you as well as I could appreciate how hugely funny that is).
You can't be too careful with coughs, they can change their character easily from being tickly to chesty. Wrap up warm and keep away from smokey bars :-)
Ok.. will do! You actually don't have to worry about me wandering into smoky bars in this state.. despite my boasting about my wild lifestyle.. I do exaggerate, which I may have admitted once or twice.. and I don't like the smokier bars out there too much in the first place.. and when I'm a little sick I have no desire to drink or party.. and especially totally can't stand smoky places..
and don't worry about me finding Jesus.. in the event that it might happens (rather low probability in the first place) I'll just write about that in a witty and irreverent manner.. maybe.
*coughs*
I've no doubt you exaggerate (and I tease). I did wonder at one time, but that was early on, but over the years, I realised from your photos that you're in, shall we say, "tip top" condition? From my perspective, you're not the the typical, thirty-something eye-balls out, doesn't take care of herself, party-goer!
Yeah.. probably not. But a lot of the photos are not exactly me in all my raw glory.. I usually put on my best face for them.. including makeup, choosing the one out of many that shows me at my best angle...
of course, taking one photo every single day of the year makes that more difficult and some less than ideal photos get through.. but still.. I have power of veto.
I know all about being selective with photos. As you know, I'm rarely seen on photograph, and on those that I allow through, it's grudgingly so.
It's as I thought, you're a shrivelled crone with amazing make-up skills. Never fooled me for a minute!
Yeah.. I know you were only being polite. And thanks for that, even though it was pathetically transparent ;)
I tend to be reserved in the public sphere when it comes to complimenting women, and you've probably noticed I've been that way with you too, but... I'm going to say, as well as appreciating your honest, laconic, humorous and quirky way of writing, it has never passed me by that your are startlingly attractive. But I've always figured you'd appreciate the emphasis being on your other qualities, though I guess it doesn't do any harm once in a while to let someone know what you really think. So let's put it another way - you're hot!
Now look what you made me say... aint you the one who's supposed to blush? :-)
hehe.. now I feel like blushing..
*blushes*
no seriously.. well, it is nice to hear that sometimes, particularly right now when I'm feeling less than sparkling and all that.. :)
I know you feel pretty crappy. But I didn't know how to handle it. For a charming, urbane gentleman (irony), I can be remarkably awkward. Here's a hug and the offer of a totally clean (honest) hanky.
Thanks.. and honestly, you've handled it beautifully.
*blows noise noisily*
Wow! The Kat complimented me. I'm purring. Fangs.
