Frog in my throat!

I had major sleeping problems last night that around 1 am I resorted to my heavy duty sleeping pills. I was feeling very depressed and because I am ME, I cry for no reason. So I knocked my self out with those pills and I got up around 6:30 am feeling like crap. I got dressed and was dropped off at the bus stop. I sat in my comfy window seat and closed my eyes and dozed off. I know that I have reached work by the feeling of the bus movements. I feel when the bus makes turns. So I know exactly that I am close to work by the feeling. :lol: I know I am weird like that!

I got into work with my head spinning. At our work there are no windows. I call my work a programmer’s dungeon. We are just missing some hanging candle chandeliers and chains everywhere to complete the Gothic theme. I felt stuffy and congested. It’s like I swallowed dust the moment I got in there, and I wasn’t feeling good to begin with. As I sat down, I started coughing. Once, twice, three times. … …. … It wouldn’t stop. My boss messages me and I am like, “I am sick. Can’t you hear my cough all the way down there!” He is just down the hall, but you can hear anybody! Full conversations at a time from where I sit. So I kept coughing, weezing, it just wouldn’t stop. At times the dry coughs were so intense that I felt like I was going to throw up. Good thing I didn’t eat anything because it wouldn’t have looked pretty at all.

So he came in and said, “we need to take you to walk in clinic now!” I said, “no!” I hate doctors by the way. They will recommend the same old crap and it would cost me more coughs and time! So my boss went across the street to the store to get me something to stop the cough.

He came back with horrible Buckley’s! It was disgusting! The moment I drank it, I felt like I was gonna hurl! I felt like someone put their hand inside my throat and scratched it with their nails. The stuff is horrible. The moment you breath after, you feel like a major burning intake of extra strong Vicks or some type of cough drop permeating all over the walls of your throat. Now I know how a fire breathing dragon feels! Eww!

So I took it and I kept taking more and more cough drops. Within the hour, (this is all before 9 am by the way), I felt better. The coughs stopped and I just felt lightheaded and sleepy. Throughout the day, I just felt my throat hurting and minor coughing, but I took Buckley’s again to just stop it. When I got home, my mom made me soup, and I took some cold medicine because I am sick of being sick. The ear infection yesterday made me feel like crap today. The good news is, my ear does not hurt anymore!

As the day passed, we had an end year potluck today, but I didn’t bring anything! I forgot! I felt bad. But when I am sick I forget everything. For example, around 8 am this morning, as I was entering our side of the building, there is a security door and I use my Chub card to get in. I was holding the office key instead just looking at the door wondering where to put the key. Where’s the hole I wondered! Until someone from the other side saw me and opened the door for me. I just looked at him and said, “oops, sorry, I lost my mind today!

As the day passed, all my co-workers did was play stupid games. Call of Duty 4 is STUPID! It has nice graphics and everything, but stupid. Unreal Tournament 3 is way better!

I tried to do something, I played for an hour and stopped. My head started hurting and I wanted something more calming and I wanted to watch a movie and we had the projector. No one wanted to watch anything. Just play stupid games.

So I got bored and I really wanted to go home. I just got tired and over whelmed from all the coughing. I just wanted to sit under my comfy warm blanket and sleep.

Around 2 pm, my boss then said, “time for contracts!”

Wohoo. Finally! I was excited and scared. So I got my usual raise, and not only that, it was a year contract! Although there are no guarantees there will be money for a year, but who cares! I was just happy I still got a job for January! I can have happy holidays! I was excited. I was so happy that I sent an SMS to my friend that I still have a job and she was so excited! Then I messaged my dad on MSN and he said, “Congratulations MunMun! Do you want me to pick you up?” I said, “No, I want to go to the mall, I want to go shopping!” :lol:

So I bought a cute gift for my best friend and I mailed it to her house in Mississauga so it would reach tomorrow for Eid! I told her that I sent her a gift, and she kept begging me to know what it is! I refused to tell her!

As I got home, I told my mom and she said, “I thought you are making over XX,XXX!!

I got mad! I told her, “Mom! Stop thinking and making up numbers to tell your STUPID Arab friends what I make! In this case, what I don’t make! I don’t make that much! I am not rich! Is it a contest between you women who’s daughter makes more money!” She said, “Calm down!” I said, “I hate the stupid Arabs here! That’s all you people talk about!” She said, “why you hate Arabs, you are one!” I said, “Yah whatever. I am Canadian now who speaks Arabic!”

I just stormed off to my room and I just took some cold medicine and enjoyed the rest of my evening. Aah. Peace and harmony. Now I can sleep well. First time in weeks!

By the way. Happy Eid! Eid Sa3eed! Eid Mubarak to everyone!
