My Wonderful Day Off

Things got off to a great start today. I woke up at 6:30, laying in my bed like some newborn calf, and realized that I had a horribly sore throat - just the wake-up call I needed. So I moaned and groaned, and realized that my carpool (who's supposed to come earlytomorrow, not today), was idling in my driveway as I clammored out of my bed. My mom, as she was leaving our house to go to work, told them that I didn't need a ride until tomorrow, and that I was just getting up anyway. So I wander blindly to the shower, freeze my damn rump off, get out, dry off, stumble through putting my clothes on, and prepare to face the chilling cold that awaits me outside. And so, as this fine day is just beginning, I'm heading to school when my dad asks me how I feel, I try to be tough, say I'm doing good, but, being the good father that he is, turns around and takes me home. Ok, that part was good (and so were the five extra hours of sleep).

Let's jump ahead to roughly 12:45. I awake to find my mom hovering over me, saying something that sounds eerily like "you have a doctor's appointment in twenty minutes". WONDERFUL. Just the news I wanted hear. Ahh. Anyway, I get ready, go to the doctor, get my antibiotics, and my mom decides to tell the doctor about the tremors in my hands. PERFECT. In conclusion, this basically means I get a needle shoved into my vein, and have a good few milliliters of blood sucked out of my body, but really, it wasn't too bad - just kinda stuck in there with the swabs they shoved down my throat. But hey! I had the pleasure of enjoying a nice double quarter pounder! Oh! I also learned that I lost 12 lbs since the last time I was at the doctor, which was about september. That's really odd. I haven't changed any habits, but I weighed in at 158, as opposed to 170 the last time. Hmm?

Yep, well, that's my day...hope you had a great time..
