Pardon this blog. I’m drinking whiskey.
I have the swine flu. Whee. It is actually a mild case. Basically I have the flu with a nasty little name attached. But the problem is that I not only have H1N1, but I also have one of my two busiest weeks of the year at work. One of my biggest events of the year is happening right now, and I am stuck on my couch - sweating.
Oh, and the date. Yes. I have swine flu, a huge event happening and a date on Sunday...and Friday.
Stella and I have a date. I think God is truly crackin’ up on this one. Let’s bullet the events of this week.
Last Thursday: Find out from Spencer that we are running a 5k on Thanksgiving Day. I run at the gym. For some reason, I am really tired after 2 miles of running. Oh well. I have 2 weeks.
Last Friday: Meet a great guy, Bryan. Bryan’s stats: He’s a college professor of science, he owns a home and a cabin, he is SMOKIN’ HOT (good looking and gray-haired….grrr), he’s the daddy to Travis…a golden retriever, and he is into me like I’m into high heels.
Last weekend: Work at work all weekend.
Monday: Talk to Bryan for 2 hours on the phone. He asks me out on a date. A doggie walking date with Travis and Stella on Sunday.
Tuesday: I run 3.4 miles on the treadmill after work. I look like Grimace from McD’s by the end; berry purple. I feel like shit for some reason. I have a huge event at work this weekend. One of my two major events of the year. I run to Target get Nyquil and throat spray and call in for work that evening. I figure I will go to the doctor in the morning, grab some antibiotics and get back to planning.
Wednesday: The doctor informs me at 8 am that I have H1N1. Swine flu. I am not allowed back to work until Monday.
Wednesday night: Bryan tells me that if he can…he would like to come to my big event for work and “see me in action” on Friday night. FRIDAY! Fuckity fuck.
Wednesday night: I run to the store and buy 4 gallons of orange juice, a bottle of whiskey, ice cream, a humidifier and lots of hot tea bags in an effort to beat the shit out of the swine flu by Friday night.
Thursday: Watch a Golden Girls marathon all day while alternating Nyquil, OJ, Moose tracks ice cream, OJ and Jack Daniels. Fever is reduced to 99* F by noon. If is hold off, I am good to go for Friday and Sunday.
This is my life. This is why I am the way I am.
Tomorrow is going to be very interesting. I will let you know. Either way, it will be entertaining…
Until Next Friday,
Pauline
