if i go there will be trouble
i really want to leave work in the worst way. i'm tired after a night of listening to the boy's phlegmy coughs. actually it wasn't the coughs that bothered me but his anxiety about waking me up every other minute. i finally retreated to the living room so he could cough at ease. i didn't notice the window was open until i awoke this morning with a sore throat.
something odd about minnesota is that we had temps below freezing this morning and tomorrow we're supposed to be up to 80. i don't get it but it feels like cross-training for some kind of hell... i'm not sure.
anyway my co-workers and i played a bit of hooky today. we went for lunch and didn't punch out. then we left for a bit to get care package supplies for a friend in the army. one buddy here will be leaving on thursday so today was the day to get the shopping done. we loaded everything into a box: shoe cushions, foot powder, chapstick, oatmeal pies and such. we also got our dear friend some texture comb through 'cause we thought it was funny and it's on clearance. it's funny because our friend, though black, shaves his head bald and would not need to ever use a comb through... it's one of those jokes that may only be funny to those who bothered to shop at target with us today.
i'm weary of work even though i spent most of the day playing hooky. i know that i'll get most of my energy back the moment i step through the doors and run for my car [by run i really mean lope. i'm more of a loper]. as soon as i realize i'm free for the day i'm sure to get the spring back in my step. it would just be loads better if i could get that spring back now. yesterday i worked a whole whopping 3.5 hours. today i'm trying to make up for that but i'm plagued by constant yawning. i think that it could be chronic, perhaps even fatal.
i still haven't had my lump checked out. why? because i'm lame. there's no other reason for it. i just don't want to go to the doctor even if it's for good news. i'm sure it's just some lymph node malfunction... more than likely. however, i must really enjoy worrying myself to pieces. otherwise i'd get myself into the doctor STAT. anyone else do this kind of thing where you have a task that could easily lead to peace of mind but despite that you put it off as long as possible. i know that i have the boy worried about this and maybe some of you, too. i'll take care of it. seriously...
in the meantime i think that i'm going to leave work and enjoy whatever kind of weather minnesota sees fit to bestow us with.
