Sick Chick

I felt really tired and sluggish in work last night. Then couldn’t stop coughing in the car on my way home. This morning I woke up and feel terrible. Sore throat. cough and headache. I decide to skip the gym this morning instead I opt to eat some breakfast, take some Day quill and get a couple of hours more sleep. I think today should be a morning of rest and recuperation.

Its now 2 hours later and I still feel crappy. I must go work since I have no more sick days. Mushroom soup and hot tea should pick me up, I hope.

Why is it we get sick when we have so much to do. I really shouldn’t complain there are people out there really sick with life threatening illnesses. I was saddened yesterday to hear of Alex Trebeks plight with pancreatic cancer. I love jeopardy and I wish him all the best in his fight with it.

Strange how we can all get so involved with the life’s of strangers we see on the television. One of the seniors I take care of is so hooked on the Bachelor. I’ve never seen the show, but she regals the tales to me of the scorned women who he voted off.  Doesn’t sound like fun tv to me. But sometimes we have such mundane lives that watching someone else’s is entertaining. It just seems tv companies exploit people’s feelings to get good ratings. I did once see an episode once of Love Island. Personally, I think if your in a good relationship why ruin it. Why would you test if your partner would cheat? Temptation is something we deal with everyday. We all make those choices. We can all act differently in a situation like that. Maybe edited clips make it look like your partner is cheating so you respond by doing the same. I wonder if any of those couples stay together after the show. Not many I suspect.
