it's not as fun as ferris bueller's day off

the only awesome thing about being sick right now is getting to watch 8 movies in 2 days and stay in bed and have an excuse to embrace slothiness. it's not as fun as ferris bueller's day off.

that being said... i'm going to finally finish watching the darjeeling limited. i think wes anderson's genius is potentially the most underappreciated of our day. that could be hyperbole. i'm really not sure. i do know he's fucking awesome.

not feeling well

this is the post for tonight... i'm definitely not feeling well.... we could go into details or you could just imagine me whining about it and then whining more and then taking a nap. there we're on the same page.

strep throat

strep throat. that's what the urgent care doctor says... strep throat. one shot of antibiotics, $250.00 and a prescription later i have been given strict instructions not to travel and to come back in a day for a check up. since i don't have tonsils (because i used to get strep throat so bad and so frequently) apparently it can travel into my lungs, stomach and etc etc. so i'm back on the road... i'll cancel the appointment from south dakota.

i love road trips but i'm hating life right now. i totally give up. it's absolutely frightening to be thousands of miles from anyone i know and the only thing i can do is keep driving. i can't eat and i can barely talk. i hate my ipod... it crashed this morning and i can't seem to fix it.

i'm frustrated. i'm overwhelmed. i'm giving up.

shellfish

why don't lobsters share?
because they are shellfish

which is the only joke my chiropractor used to tell me as he did the magic thing on my spine, head and hips. seriously he was magic.

the point is that i am allergic to shrimp which are shellfish. i have taken 4 benadryl today because somehow i came into contact with something. i thought i would have to use my epi-pen but i used powers of my brain instead to insist that everything was fine.

and it was.
it's funny since dan told me yesterday to tell myself i was something for an hour and i did and it saved me from the hospital and an injection... i don't think that is the way he meant it but those that dream small esteem to lightly or something like that. i've always been interested in taking things just to that next level.... it totally worked out.

i'm going back to lay down in my benadryl coma and think about controlling more things with my brain. or sleep.

did i mention today was absolutely beautiful and I am absolutely grateful for the day and the gifts i have been given? i don't know that i want to leave this island bubble of safety... that may be the drugs talking...
