Happy Singleness Awareness Day 2008
I’m afraid that you haven’t taken my illness seriously enough. My cold has taken a turn for the worse. Books on the power of positive thinking tell me this wouldn’t have happened if you had concentrated on my well-being instead of on your own selfish needs. How much concentration does it take to drive to work? You know the route. That should have been ‘Liz Time’. And that time you wasted thinking about what to have for lunch? People, I HAVE A COLD. Shouldn’t you be fasting, anyway?
On a more serious note, I really am sick. I think it’s pneumonia. Last night I coughed so violently that I think I ripped something internally. I haven’t yet figured out what ripped, but it was somehow related to my GI track. How else would you explain why I feel like shit?
I’m attempting to avoid the doctor’s office as they are horrid and foul and filled with sick people. Since Killer is a nurse, I have asked for his advice on how to treat myself. He obviously is hoping I’ll pass quietly in the night as he has had made no offers to assist me during my illness. I’ve always thought he had some regrets about being a dual blogger.
I’m not serious about that either. I was, however, for a brief moment last night convinced that I was actually going to die. You’ve felt it before too. That awful- this has gone too far- feeling. Fortunately, this feeling doesn’t hit me often, but when it does, it’s scary! It was scary last night because I thought, “should I call someone and tell them? Should I go to the hospital? Should I write a note and leave it by the bedside?” This is a pro and con of being single. There was no one to watch over me, to make sure I didn’t stop breathing during the night. On the other hand, there is no one this morning to point his finger in my face and say, “Ha! You’re still alive! You’re so fucking dramatic!” I don’t think I could handle that. The suspicious and annoyed look I got from the cats is enough.

My name is Kelsea and I am an associate casting producer for MTV. I am currently working on casting a new docu-series and we’re looking for young adults who have really stepped up to the plate and are helping their mom out who’s going through a hard time, whether it be going back to school, full-time job or even partying too much. We really want to congratulate these teens and document what they’ve been going through on a daily basis, as well as see if we can help in some way.
MTV NETWORK is currently seeking people that…

Travesti ankaradakitravestiler.com Thanks much for this vital
Sorry, I went to sleep instead of checking my email again. If you were about to die, you should have called.
Trust me...the LAST thing you wanted to do was go sit in a ER waiting room for at least 4 hours so they could say either you have the flu or you have “walking” pneumonia.
The flu gets you a pat on the back and a five hundred dollar ER bill.
The walking pneumonia gets you a prescription for cough medicine and some antibiotics, and a five hundred dollar ER bill.
Sleep and go to your regular doctor today.

Thanks. My regular doctor is MEA- which means awful lines and a major pain in the ass. They don’t open till 9. I’m fighting to stay awake right now. How could I make it until after 9?!
I would, however, like some high dose cough medicine. HIGH dose.

i think i had what you are battling with. it was the week before i was leaving for cabo san lucas and there was no way i was gonna miss that trip, so i braved the doc’s office. and it wasn’t too bad! he gave me good antibiotics, sent me for a chest x-ray and by the time i stepped onto the plane i was no longer coughing so hard that i wanted to vomit. and the best part? doc told me i could drink margaritas in mexico even though i was on antibiotics. (i almost blew him when he said that...i was THAT happy.)
feel better, my friend. i’ll tell killer to bring bourbon instead of cough drops.

The looks from your cats is not annoyance, it’s amazement. They’ve been slowly poisoning you for the last three months and can’t believe you are still hanging in there.
People just won’t believe me when I tell them cats are evil.
My wife is currently down with your malady. I’m doing my very best to stay the fuck away from her.

Maybe you could break your own arm like Elvis used to do and get some real drugs. Then you wouldn’t care it you were sick.

Hello- You’re my inspiration. Thanks
Dave- Sorry to hear about your bride. Be nice to her. She probably feels like SHIT and your turn is coming.
Churlita, Did Elvis seriously do that?! I’ve heard tons of Elvis rumors but never that one. Freaky…
