2007’s First Progress Report
by Slack, on January 4th, 2007
I think I can sum up the first part of 2007 with the words, “Fuckin Whoop-dee-doo!”
As per usual, I’m being dramatic. But, we just seem to have a lot of the little things in life beating down on us… Just bad timing, really, but man I just want some slack for fate’s sake!
I’m still sick of course. Coughing and snorting up greenish fluids is my idea of a good time for sure. Not to mention the random coughing at night, damn it! Yes, I’m well aware that I should quit smoking, thank you very much. I’ll get right on that as soon as I don’t feel like the world is crumbling down around me slowly. So, I decided that two weeks of being sick, and unclear fluids coming from my sinuses are a good sign that I could use some help. I called the doctor and got an appointment. Guess what, my insurance has been canceled. Just in case I didn’t miss Spacely or something, they decided to give me one more good thrust. I’m told my insurance is good to go at Cogswell’s but, we are in the middle of some crazy conference thing, so getting those details is out of the question this week… Maybe I’ll get some Mexico Anti-biotics — yay border towns!
Rhys is still sick too. Luckily, his insurance is still working… I still haven’t figured that one out yet. Ear infection, same cold I have, and an eye infection. As if he hadn’t been through enough, he decided to do a faceplant the other night and bust up his last healthy eye. Good times for the little one.
Heidi? Nope, she’s not sick. But, don’t think that means her life is all roses. After all, she has to take care of Rhys and I! I think she’s got it the worst. She’s been in that “I Think I Might Be Getting Sick” stage for two weeks now. Which I figure is a lot like that “I Think I Might Be Getting Laid Off” stage I went through not too long ago.
So, we’re hanging in there. Hope everyone else is doing well and finding 2007 to be milk and honey. We’ll get there soon enough. :)
