Now this has been a weekend of wasting time!!!

I don't even know where today went. My coughing cold is still in effect so I've been drinking various elixirs that have left me too loopy to do anything all that productive. Good thing I got this new bed because I spent all of yesterday in it without feeling any pain in my joints. 

My last bed was a futon with a solid mattress and a thin layer of memory foam on top. If ever I felt sick and spent the day on that thing I would wake, barely able to walk. Even when I wasn't sick that bed left me feeling like I was in an MMA fight and lost every night. 

All this time I just thought that it was part of getting old. I used to be able to sleep on any flat surface and wake feeling fine. I also used to drink a lot and wasn't really aware of how shitty I felt all that time. 

Today I woke and stumbled over to my computer to start the day. I found a dumb puzzle game and started to marathon listen to The Dave's of Thunder podcast's archives. I'd already accepted that today would be a sick day but I didn't expect that eight hours would pass and I'd still be sitting here doing the same thing. 

Oh well, wasting days is what the weekend is for, isn't it?

I should be well enough to work the day job tomorrow. Hopefully I'll feel fine enough to focus enough to start my next class because I've grown bored of slacking and need to get back to work.

We'll see what happens.

Talk to you tomorrow,
