  • A Day Off With A Cold

    I am off this week,  and sick.   Is that bad luck or what?  I had no real plans but was going to be a tourist in the city.  Did some work in the apartment.  I think I may go out and take some photographs today just to get out in the nice weather.  I've been sneezing and coughing and my chest is congested. 

    I don't really feel like running all over the city like I had planned, trying to take photos and do stuff and act like a tourist.  Just don't have the urge and I've been putting some sweaters away and getting out the spring and summer wear,  got a ton of stuff to give to the thrift shop.

    I'm not sure what I'll do.   I'm a bit mad that I'm sick on my week off and had to miss work on Monday and lost money because of it.  I spent that day sleeping and went to the Dr. but he couldn't do anything, I went for blood results, and they are good,  I wasn't sick enough to have him do anything or give me medicine.  I don't need medicine, other than the Alka Seltzers,  Tylenol and nasty tasting Theraflu I drank last night.   And Vick's Vapor rub.

    Alka Seltzer is my "miracle drug",   it works for every kind of pain and malady.

    You can't live without a jar of Vick's Vapor rub in the house.

    I had Cream of Wheat.  It sure warms the heart.  I eat it often now, since my mom died, and it always makes me remember to say "Thanks Mom" for showing me the benefits of a hot steaming bowl of Cream of Wheat, some butter, sugar or honey and milk, or even better, half and half.....  Since her death it has again become a major staple of my diet and if it isn't the most comforting bowl of hot wheat cereal, well then I just don't what is.

    Yesterday I bought a Mother's Day lotto scratch off ticket and it won 25 bucks.  Of course it cost 5 bucks,  I thought it would be lucky.  Now I can't decide if I should just get 4 more tickets and hope my Mom can pull some strings.

    I'm kind of depressed... just gonna go shower,  shave,  shit,  dress, grab the camera and head toward the Central Park.

    This movie is the stupidest movie in the world.  Don't waste your money.

    Don't let the title fool you.
