Wah. I am the worst sick person – I turn into such a whiny baby and I’m just generally miserable and I act 3 years old. I can feel a head cold or something coming on. I’ve got the post-nasal drip, headache and body aches and just general malaise. I get so indignant, too, reasoning that I eat so healthy and take care of myself so I should never succumb to any type of sickness. I should be immune, damn it.
Tomorrow morning we’re having a new couch delivered. I think I may just stay home sick to be here for the delivery and then just take it easy for the day. Wait until you see this couch – it’s so gorgeous! Chocolate brown sectional with microfiber on top and leather on bottom, four recliners, two storage areas and two cup holders = never getting off the couch again.
And tonight, a miracle was performed in our house. You see, the old sectional needed to go downstairs, but it is a very large, unwieldy piece – even though it’s in three sections. Rob and Aric swore they wouldn’t be able to get it downstairs because the staircase is narrow. I knew it would be a pain in the ass, but also had faith that they’d find a way to make it work. I kept saying, “Positive thinking!” And they kept thinking, “Shut the hell up before we fit this couch where the sun don’t shine.” That’s okay, though. You know why? You already know, don’t you? Of course you know that our old sectional is the proud centerpiece of our basement rec area now. It wasn’t easy, and there is spackling to be done – but hey, the couch is down there and we’re all ready for our new piece to take its rightful place in my family room.
This weekend we also have to finish painting the basement. It’s going to be all bright and shiny down there! Time to throw a party. Want to come?
Now maybe I can use my positive thinking powers to will this cold out of my system.
well… if you are going to be under the weather, no better place to be than on the comfy new couch with a cup of tea and a good movie=]
Hope you feel better.
I feel your pain! Hope your feeling better soon and enjoy your couch!!
A party? I’m up for a party!
Oooh, I HATE getting sick! I try to hard to be healthy but it seems to get me every year.
Good story! I’m also a huge fan of thinking postively to combat problems, and always annoy my family that way too! I’m sure positive thinking does actually help illnesses, so give it a go and you’ll be better in no time I’m sure!
