The one where I mimic The Walking Dead

Perhaps I shouldn't have binged watched three seasons in three weeks. 

{It's a great show, if you can look past all the decapitations}

Things I might have said this past week:

*I really think I need to drink some liquid plumber. It's as though I have a clog between my lungs and my throat; I cough it upwards, it goes back down. I cough it upwards, it goes back down. It just won't exit.  Go towards the LIGHT damnitt!

*Me: Linds, I paid some bills this morning. I had to write 3 checks and for the life of me, I could not remember if I used my 1st name MIDDLE INITIAL and last name in my signature or just my 1st and last name. 
Linds: We can't blame that on the sickness mom, you might have dementia. 

*I'm not going to the Doctor. They just throw antibiotics at you and I don't want to go down that road. Surely, I can beat this with positive thoughts, orange juice and perhaps some magic crystals. 

*How come I don't ever get that kind of sick where you don't have an appetite? I'm eating as much as usual but I haven't burnt a calorie in days. 
{I looked it up, violent coughing doesn't count as exercise.}

*I feel as though I'm turning…Lolo, please find something sharp!
 {a Walking Dead reference}

Then I threw in the towel. 
It was Tuesday at three a.m, I staggered to the back of the house (away from my sleeping people) with my 14th coughing fit for the night.. 
I stared down at the three cages of hermit crabs and wondered if they too were sick of hearing me cough all night.  

Suz, you are going to the Doctor tomorrow….even if it kills you. 

{I said that, not the hermit crabs}

So, I went to the Dr. and yes, she threw antibiotics and cough meds at me.
Like the weak human I am, I took them.

I'll be back to my old sassy self in a few days; no big pickle.
I only hope that I remember how to sign a check next week.

Don't cry for me Argentina go feeling sorry for me, but do tell me something good that's happened to you this week….
or else I'll be forced to cough in your general direction. 

XOXO
