Memento Mori...

Yes… We all will die eventually, and it is good to remember that simple fact. But have you ever noticed that when you are suffering from a really bad case of the flu that, unlike most other times when you are wishing death to stay away for many years to come, that instead, if you could manage to stand up to begin with, you would go and find Thanatos and throw yourself upon his Scythe???

Yeah, that’s about how I’m feeling right now… I’m sitting here in an over stuffed chair (Ok… Sitting isn’t quite correct… Maybe I should say I have simply collapsed here in the chair…) with my laptop, trying to focus on typing, just so I can stop thinking about how freaking miserable I am right now and just how good the eternal slumber sounds at the moment…

I can feel my veins, and the flu medication coursing through them, running up and around my head, down my neck, into and out of my heart, and on and on and on… My blood is pounding in my temples and my ears… I have to close one eye from time to time just to be able to clearly see the words that I am trying to type… And I’m starting to think that maybe, just maybe, it would have been better NOT to have taken the drugs to combat the flu symptoms to begin with because I don’t think the meds are really helping the flu symptoms, I think they are just making me more miserable.

OK… Now I’m relegated to closing both eyes while I type. It is good to be a true touch typist… (Thank you Mrs. Hammer!!!) I always like to mess with people when they come into my office and I’ll keep typing while I look them in the eye… I’ve been told that watching someone do that is unnerving… Why? I have no idea…

Anyway, I’m going to try to sleep this off… Happy St. Patrick’s day to everyone who bothers to observe this holiday… Enjoy…!
