Snowflake, Arizona...

... Let me guess, the town motto is "One of a kind!" Right? You know, the sad fact is I probably am...

This week was a blast. Woke up Tuesday morning feeling like I had a cold... WRONG! It was a lovely little sinus infection. Thankfully I am over it. It was enough that I actually stayed home from work... For almost a whole day... I know, what the hell is wrong with me right? I went in for two hours Thursday (this was the day I mostly stayed home) afternoon, and am making up the rest of the time tomorrow by working 8am to 2pm. Which shouldn't be too bad and I should be able to get a ton of stuff done with no distractions.

Of course me being "sick" in anyway always frustrates my coworkers. We all smoke at work except for DomaRicktrix (he's the only dude working there other than the co-owner, don't ask about the name it is another terrifying story that maybe I will share someday...), and it drives the girls crazy that whenever I don't feel 100% I don't smoke. This drives them crazy because they do not understand why or how I can go without smoking like that. The why is because I know that me smoking will prolong whatever is wrong with me (especially if it is a cold or respiratory in nature). More than that, it's the how that they themselves just can't do. For me smoking is a totally recreational and social behavior (albeit an unhealthy one, but so is drinking), yes I have the cravings sometimes, but I know I don't need to smoke. Am I going to quit smoking entirely? Not right now, but definitely long before we seriously think about having children. I know, I'm weird... I hear that daily and relish in it.

Interesting things were learned this week while I was sick, such as the following:
The Top Five Reasons I Like Taking Nyquil:
1. It makes me sleep when I don't feel well.
2. It makes me feel better (even if only temporary).
3. It generally knocks me out in an hour or less... Depends on if I am fighting the drowsiness.
4. It makes me have funny dreams (...most of the time).
5. I like fruit flavored alcohol, especially if it has a medicinal purpose.

Now....

The Top Five Reasons I Should NOT Take Nyquil:
1. Sometimes I don't remember getting to bed... Or falling asleep... Or other things...
2. "Supposedly" I babble senselessly in my Nyquil induced sleep... This is unconfirmed hearsay.
3. I typically wake up within moments of it wearing off.
4. If I take it too late in the night, I don't want to wake up or feel tired all day.
5. (Frankly this is more rubbish) I apparently tend to snore... Like a lumberjack, after the Nyquil wears off....

Preposterous... Me snoring... *scoffs*... Not likely...
