I am going to decorate my apartment for Christmas when I’m done writing this. Decorating is fun, but it also means I have to clean and I don’t want to clean. And I have to try to fix my Christmas tree stand. And my sad excuse for a living room is arranged differently than it was last year so I’m not sure where I’m going to put my village. I feel slightly yucky today. It could be because I didn’t have my first cup of coffee until after 12pm. Yeah it was a rare day. I never thought the day would come where I could actually function semi-normally without lots of coffee and a few cigarettes. For the first time since I quit smoking, I didn’t have a cup of coffee before heading out the door this morning. And I was ok. The no coffee wasn’t for any particular reason, I’m not giving it up or anything. I just slept in a bit and I didn’t have any coffee here at my apartment. Don’t worry though. I bought two big things of it at CVS this afternoon. Buy one get one free, yeah … I’m going to be good on coffee for a while now.
I just don’t want to be getting sick. Everyone in my office is sick. Luckily my job encourages sick people to stay at home, so they aren’t passing their germs all around, but there is also that incubation period. The sickness has almost gone down a straight line … and I’m next in line. And I have this awful headache which isn’t a good sign. I was sick with a horrible cold back in August. I thought I was going to suffocate and die one night. Then weeks later I was still coughing up my lungs. And I cleaned my floor with clorox and thought the fumes were going to be my demise. I’m kind of interested to see how much faster I’ll recover from a cold now that I quit smoking. I really do enjoy the fact that I have absolutely no phlegm ever. That makes me feel a lot more sexy. Not that I had nasty phlegm like yucky guys do … but I still had that smoker’s cough going on. And please, if I must get sick, let me get sick right now. I don’t want to be sick during Christmas, or in two weeks 🙂
Dear Germ Monster:
I would like to be sick now so I can be not sick later.
Or if you really love me make me not sick ever at all.
Thanks!
I’m going to decorate now.
Hooray for no phlegm! I remember when Courtney used to clear out her phlegm every morning in the bathroom when we lived with her. The sound still haunts me.
Am I the only smoker without a phlegm problem? Or am I just in denial?
When I smoked I pretty much always had that little cough that just sounded like I was clearing my throat. I never got to the point where I was like hacking out my lungs … unless I got a cold. And Courtney is just something else. She spit and hacked everywhere, so so gross.
