Draggin'

Is it really only Tuesday? Good god this week is long. In all fairness it should probably be Thursday by now. At least. Besides, every day is another opportunity to be exposed to THE FLU.

Everyone I talk to it seems is in some stage of this flu. Either coming down with it, recently gotten over it, or completely bedridden. I had something last weekend; a wretched condition that resulted in a harrowing drive home through New York State and extinguished my taste for coffee. But as unpleasant as that was, it doesn't compare at all to what other people tell me they have endured. This only leaves me with the feeling that I am still susceptible to whatever it is that's going around.

I had a PHS ED teacher in High School that insisted that most illnesses were a state of mind.

"I haven't been sick in 25 years, because I won't let myself believe that I can get sick. And that's a fact."

Well, that maybe so. I always found him kind of creepy though, but I'll put his advice to the test.
