so i've felt something coming on for the past week or so. bought the usual cold-eeze and vitamin c drops and started pounding them while at work, didn't catch anything but still felt it coming. thursday night i went out and drank a tad too much. which of course opened the door for whatever it was i thought was coming.
going out drinking (and having too much) as the weather finally starts to get cold is kind of like inviting a vampire into your house. you're just asking for trouble if you do it. why i continue to do just that is beyond me. but i do, without fail, every year finally catch whatever bug i'm going to catch by stupidly enjoying some beverages.
so i woke up friday and had a queasy stomach. i assumed it was alcohol based since i was out drinking, but i didn't have any other hangover symptoms to speak of. made some toast and promptly puked up the toast. same thing with a vanilla milkshake. so i lied down for a bit before trekking out to see my grandfather. he of course was already asleep by the time i got out to the island.
while it was of course nice to visit with the rest of the family, the back and forth in what was kind of cold weather for my sick self having not eaten kinda sucked.
on the trip home i grabbed a sandwich and fries. they didn't last too long in my belly either. so i called into work. it's weird using a sick day when you're actually sick. feels wrong. sick days should be used for concerts, and baseball games, and fun stuff. instead i spent the day living like a baby. shitting, puking, and sleeping with just enough food to fuel the puking and allow me to have some energy to get around the house.
and it sucks because i'd rather be off on a sunday to watch some football.
speaking of, here are some picks. i put less thought into them than usual. they're from the post as always, and home team is in CAPS...
GIANTS -4.5 over chargers
JAGUARS -6.5 over chiefs
BENGALS +3 over ravens
COLTS -9 over texans
FALCONS -10 over redskins
packers -9.5 over BUCCANEERS
cardinals +3 over BEARS
dolphins +10.5 over PATRIOTS
SAINTS 13.5 over panthers
lions +10 over SEAHAWKS
49ERS -4 over titans
cowboys +3 over EAGLES
BRONCOS +3 over steelers
and with that, it's back to bed for me...
