Ain't Life Grand

Life has been good to me these last few days. Soccer was a blowout last night, 14-5. Golf got cancelled during play before it got too wet. Saw The Grand Budapest Hotel tonight and enjoyed it. Had lunch with my college buddy this week. Feeling extra flirty at work and in emails and that's always fun. Been really engaged at work these last few days. I missed that place during my illness. Feeling better finally... like, all the way better. What little cough I have is allergies, for sure this time. I've been eating well. Love all of the new Adidas shoes I got (well, except that one pair). Nomming on blueberries all week. Ain't life grand?

Better?

I've been sick for at least 18 days and I think today may have been the last of it. At least I hope so. The Lung-Plague of April 2014 didn't kill me. But it took up the better part of the month and knocked my mortal ass to the ground for a good while. I guess, looking back, I spent too much time working hard, partying hard, and playing hard. A body has to take a rest.

I dare say I'm better. I have a small cough but I can hear and taste nearly as well as before. Onward.

Diagnosed

Got my diagnosis today. No surprise. I scored well, overall. And I'm satisfied with what the doctor said and recommended. I'm going to follow up with another professional and see where that goes. Life ain't so shitty. ;)

I'm the Baddest Man Alive

I'm not. Let's be clear about that.

But... I kinda am. :)

I loaded up on some new sneakers tonight. It was a great haul. Five pairs of shoes total. I even customized a pair by designing the colors. It was glorious. They are my super persona's sneakers. Bad. Ass.

I've had "I'm the Baddest Man Alive" by The Black Keys and RZA on repeat. I will walk with that as my theme music. And I *will* be the baddest mine alive...

I can take the pitchfork, from the devil
Keep a super suit like I'm incredible
From the deep blue sea, to the dark blue sky
I'm the baddest man alive

Excerpt from The Black Key's (with RZA) "The Baddest Man Alive"


On a completely unrelated note, other that possibly also being potentially badass, Ep 7 secondary shooting is happening, the script is all but approved, and the casting is down to finalists. The Star Wars saga continues and I hope for the best! :)

Sick.

Being sick sucks. It always does. And it seems to take so long to recover these days. As bold and clumsy as I am at times, it is illness that will be the end of me.

I am finally coming out of the haze of this latest illness. I am on my second round of antibiotics. Levaquin. It fucks me all up. It's used to treat patients with Anthrax and plague. No shit. I am shitting you not. I experience mild pychotropic effects when mixing it with Prednisone. I'm dizzy and confused. It's a very weird sensation and hard to endure for long spats - especially when the insomnia hits.

I've been sick for nearly 3 weeks and I'm quite tired of it. I feel like I'm getting better but I'm not done with it. My cough is better but still deep. My ears are still full. And I still can't taste (that is getting very annoying).

I keep telling myself this will end soon. I don't know how in the world I am going to function at work tomorrow. I will have to work from home. Can I even work a full day? I haven't moved off the couch or out of bed unless I had to. I've burned through 3 seasons of Game of Thrones and caught up with the new Cosmos.

I've been to the doctor twice. I've been on two antibiotics. I use two inhalers. I'm taking cough syrup and nose spray. At some point wellness has to return. And I hope he brings his buds back with him... taste buds, that is!

Sick Movie Watchin'

If I'm gonna spend the day horizontal and sick, I might as well watch some movies:

The Game. Cool!

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World. Cried.

Warm Bodies. Clever.

3:10 to Yuma. Meh.

Pacific Rim. Kaiju!

Game of T'rones. Aria.

Pacific Rim again. Jaeger!! I admit that some of the luster of this movie wears off outside the movie theater. That is why I *must* see Godzilla in the theater when it comes out in May.

Sick. Blech.

Blah.

I'm sick and I don't feel good. :(

Somehow the laundry fairies visited me overnight. What a lucky boy I am!!! :)
