Sick
I'm
at work and I'm sick. If I don't come in I don't get paid. So, I'm
here. I should be at home in bead sweating the cold out. I don't have
a fever, because I'm popping Tylenol every ten minutes. I'm buzzing
on cold medicine. It isn't a good buzz. I'm staring at the screen
wanting desperately to go to sleep. Why waist a sick day on being
sick? I got back from lunch and I feel a little better. I have
so much to do when I get home. I have to pay bills. I have to do some
research for Tpro. I have to wash the sheets. I need to pick up a
package from the apartment office. I have to throw out some
boxes. I need to fix my computer because it is resetting for no
reason and not coming back up.
It is not easy to be me and be
sick and be responsible. I can leave today at three o'clock. The walk
home sounds dreadful. I should stop at the store this evening. I need
a bunch of stuff. It will not happen. I will go home and collapse. I
fear I may sleep straight trough to tomorrow morning when my alarm
goes off. It wouldn't be the first time.
Must keep eyes open. Must
keep breathing. Must ... umm. something ... it isn't important.
I
want to go home and sink into clean sheets, dream of sleeping so I'm
enjoying two sleeps. I'll snore with a smile on my face. ahhhhh.
It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.
