Well, here it is Monday evening... and I'm sick again. Seems I caught whatever is going around again... although I think I have it worse than most. After the Furry Brunch yesterday at Shoney's, I got sick to my stomach, almost to the point of throwing up.. which would not have been fun. But it did want to cause some other unpleasant results, which I won't say here. Then, I got very feverish and dizzy. Took some Ibuprophen and DayQuill, which did not do my tummy any good. Deb gave me a Phenagren.. which helped... but then for some reason, I was sleepy. Went and layed down.. slept for several hours. Woke up really jittery and tried to catch up on email... watched part of a movie on SciFi... went back to bed. Woke up at 4 am, soaked in sweat... got up cause I couldn't get comfortable. Tried to use the computer, but couldn't get my eyes to focus right. Went back to bed finally, slept off and on for a while. Got up for a bit around 8, then crashed again until late afternoon. Nessa was nice enough to run to the store to get me some peach ice cream.. I hadn't eaten since brunch, and that sounded good to me. It went down ok, and now I'm just feeling achy and still somewhat feverish. Trying to get a bunch of new music for my broadcast on Ash's Reverend Radio that I will be guest DJing on Friday from 6PM to Midnight, CST. I need to get out tomorrow, as I saw an auto service place that is hiring for a tire service tech.. wish me luck. I really need a job. Any job will do right now. It really sucks owing people money when you haven't worked since May of last year, and it really hurts one's self esteem that I can't seem to find any work. Depression has me in it's grasp so hard.... I need counseling, but cannot even afford that. Not to mention I could surely use some Zoloft or something.. oh well, I think I can survive... time will tell.

Yep. Phenagren will knock you on your ass. NyQuill and things like that do NOTHING for me, but Phenagren will put me out for at least 10 hours, and I'm loopy as hell when I wake up, too. I hope you're feeling better today.

I hope the job situation improves. One week from friday, Lox will be out on the street. The economy is crappy right now, and it's a bad time for everyone. *HUGS* I hope you can find something soon. We definately know what you're going through.

It really makes me wonder at times how us non-college degreed people are expected to survive... not to mention all of those who do have degrees, when we can't even find a job at a fast food joint...

Yep. Lox has a Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems...sort of the bastard child of Computer Science and Business Management. He still can't find anything. Last job he had was as a security guard.
