so there i was, sleepin on the couch....

because if i lay all the way down...i. can't. breathe.
yea, it's totally awesome.
also, because i am so sick, i had to call in to work today which is something that i have NEVER done at this job. and i feel like an even bigger prat because it's right before christmas and even though they WOULDN'T think it, i am AFRAID that they will think i am just slagging off.
awesome.
so i am home, totally alone, and inside of my head kind of feels like this:

minus all the good times.
and then there is that horrible thing where your nose is totally runny but you can't blow it, and every time you try to NOTHING fucking happens.
BUT, when ever you sneeze, it feels sort of like this:

but not quite so pretty, partly because, well, it's SNOT, and partly because you've bitten your tongue and both of your ears have just popped and you kind of wish you were dead.

but aside from all that you're totally feeling fine.
oh wait.
no you're not.
because, since you've been lying down for so long all your limbs hurt from lack of use and your neck is sore form the couch and the funny angle you've been sleeping in and you are starting to go stir crazy because you are all alone and even though you know you should eat you aren't hungry and even if you did eat you couldn't taste the food anyway and besides that it's completely exhausting to eat because you can't breathe and so even though you know you aren't getting enough nutrition to properly heal you can't really get up the energy to care too much and so you try to watch an episode of n.c.i.s. but you can't get through it because you are too tired and you wake up an hour later to hear your laundry dinging {the one productive thing you've managed to do all fucking day} and after you go put it in the dryer you arrive back at the couch completely knackered only to find that your juice has gone tepid and your tea has gone cold and everything sucks because you're still alone in a big empty house because everyone is at work and so you try to finish that episode you started only to fall asleep again lather rinse repeat.

no? oh...just me then? well..that's fineOW ow fuckity OW!
my ears just popped again for no reason.
brilliant.
i suppose on the upside, i can report that i am on the upswing of my personal crisis from last week, and am feeling much better about myself and the state of things. you know, aside from the plague.
pity party officially over. go home.

aaaaaanywhoooo, i feel sleep comin on. well, it's more like 'i feel sleep beating me over the head with one of those sockem boppers over and over and over again' but that's just semantics i think.
and so, i leave you with some wisdom.

cheers!
