I never thought...

…I’d miss going to work. Today was my first day back since I got sick and it feels amazing. It’s weird. Work is my escape in a way. I get to boss people around, I get to tell my intern to get me coffee and make 800 copies when I only needed one. I’m kidding. I am actually really nice to her. She bakes me cookies and brownies and I give her an extra 10 minutes for lunch. Pretty fair deal. I was an intern once; I know how cruel interning can be – getting coffee, making paper clip jewelry, staring at the walls, shopping online – interning can be a bitch.

This morning I actually woke up an hour before my alarm went off. I heard the birds chirping, and the sun creeping through my curtains and gently tickling my eyelids and I said to myself “what a wonderful world”. I kid you not.

I had set my clothes aside the night before like I always do. I hate rushing in the morning. So anyway, got in this morning and found a pile of things to do, which I am staring at right now with the “I kinda don’t give a fuck – but what the heck, It will give me something to do later”.

But anyway, no Happy Hours are scheduled for the next two weeks. Now that’s something I am not looking forward to. No social interactions, no steamy love making, no booze or cigarettes (I quit – FYI whatever happened to my lungs was not caused by nicotine, thankyouverymuch) and no more booze – fuck I already said that. No more yoga?!?!? My social skill points a la SIMS will probably be in the negatives starting tomorrow. So sad.


Ok now its time to go take my pills and two puffs of Abuterol. I am short of breath.
