Sometimes,
you just have to take the L

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not a good medical patient, I’m impatient, want a cure now, and know a lot about my body, and when it feels bad.

I can be very descriptive of issues when they come up, and I can be frustrating for doctors when I describe things because I have a decent amount of medical knowledge.

So when it comes to having a cold, or flu, or covid, I can pretty much tell you what the doctors are gonna say, and I can guarantee that they’ll say something like, just sleep it off.

Last week, I started feeling that familiar icky and sneezing/coughing sensation that is oh so familiar for flu/covid, but I decided that I could handle it, but went to get tested for COVID anyways. 

The result: Was it COVID number 5? was it Flu? Nah, just a stupid cold, thankfully. I’m not sure my liver could have handled another dose of Paxlovid. Not that I know whether it would damage things, but I’m in my 40s, and don’t want to risk anything, ya know.

Since there is no cure for the common cold, or any of its more aggressive variants, the prescription was this:

• Matzoball Soup (Jewish Penicillin)
• Chamomile Tea
• Copious amounts of Dayquil
• Rest
• Lots of Catching up on TV for the Weekend

I hate being sick, especially since I am alone up here, and have to constantly remind myself to do things like make food, Make a Tea, Make the bed, stop being dizzy, take care of myself.

Also, the Tea:

• Ginger Crystals
• 2oz Whiskey
• 1 Detox Tea
• 1 Chamomile Bag
• 2tbsp Honey
• Juice of 1/2 lemon

Sometimes it’s great being single, sometimes the cats don’t make very good conversation partners, and their lack of thumbs means they can’t make me a tea from time to time,

I’ve often wondered how people who are not in relationships survive these things, well, I guess I have my answer, they do it like we all do it, they push forward and add a day or two to their cold or flu, because they have no choice, they press on, we press on, I… press on.

Upcoming Show on Wednesday

If I’m not feeling better by Tuesday night, I will cancel my appearance wednesday, so stay tuned. 

New writing Content

I’m going to be releasing some short-stories soon, as soon as I am done editing and checking them.

I have recovered a ton of writing that I’ve done in the past from an old storage medium, and so will be looking into those to try to get them posted.

Some are pretty rough, so they need some work, but some are complete, and need very little work.

The biggest loss that I’ve had, is the script for a short-film that I shot in college, that one hurt, because it was 150 pages, almost an hour of shot content and it was filmed and edited, I still have the video, and the source material, After effects files, etc, except that it is all shot in SD quality. But the script… that’s gone, argh.

Next weekend I should have a few of the items up.
