Colds Suck Ass

Yuck.

I hate colds.

They always take the most out of me, and yet I'm never so
sick from colds that I can justify staying home from work.
So I work, sneezing and coughing, eating Dayquil pills like
candy, and eventually reaching a point of consciousness
where I still feel a little icky, but I'm also a little
loopy from all the meds, so it becomes interesting to say
the least, how I manage to get through the rest of the day.
That's how today was at work. Last night was worse- the
cold was just starting, and I didn't have any Dayquil to
fight off the pain. But I got through it. Went home, had
some zinc, some chicken soup, and a little sleep. Not much-
I kept waking up because I couldn't breathe, but I got some.
And then I worked today. And now I'm home. That's pretty
much it in a nutshell for today.

That doesn't mean I'm done writing though. Nope, I have
loads more to say, though I doubt I'll get to all of it
tonight. Rocky was this weekend. I was under the impression
that I was going to be playing Riff-Raff, but somehow it
ended up that Krystal, another castie, ended up playing
Riff-Raff, and I ended up playing Brad. Needless to say, I
was a tad pissed that I wasn't given fairer warning, but on
the whole I think I did ok. Not as good as I normally do,
but hey, I wasn't really trying that show. My heart just
wasn't in it. A lot of people from Heavy Petting, the
alternate Rocky cast, showed up supposedly to show their
support, and to be honest, I didn't feel any bad vibes from
anyone from that cast, and I actually hung out with them
for a bit afterwards. That was fun, though I broke my
promise not to smoke anymore marijuana that night. By the
way, my parents now know that I smoke. They don't seem too
thrilled or too against one way or the other- I just hope
that they aren't gonna jump on me later on for it. One can
never tell.

Anyway, I still don't think it's a good idea for me to be
smoking weed, but at the same time, I would rather not beat
myself up for doing it- I mean, it's just weed, for crying
out loud! It's not like I'm going crazy every second that
I'm not using it, and getting into fights trying to score
it. That sort of behavior is reserved for other drugs,
drugs that I don't plan on ever using, if I can help it. So
far, pot is all the druggage I need, that and alcohol. I
don't think that going past that point is gonna bring me
any form of enlightenment, or any true happiness; in fact,
I'm sure that if I go through the aforementioned gateway,
I'll follow through with every base desire and want that
I've ever had, and then my life will be irrevocably ruined.

So far, the opportunity to score something harder than weed
has arisen, and I've turned it down. Hopefully I continue
to have that resolve, and hopefully I'll be able to swear
off getting stoned or drunk for good someday. I don't
really see it happening, but one can never tell.

On a similar note, Circle K still hasn't called back. I got
some niacin to help cleanse my system in case they do,
seeing as how they drug test. But I made a mistake when I
took it- I thought that the more I take, the cleaner I'll
be. Not only was that not the case, my entire body turned
bright red, as if I'd been out in the sun for hours, and it
felt about the same too. A little bit worse actually, as
some of your more sensitive areas are spared the heat. Not
with niacin they're not. OOOOOH BOY, I ain't doing that
again. At least not so much. Just one pill.

Well, I think that's enough for tonight.
