I don't get sick a lot, which is good, because I'm really bad about putting off doctor visits. The last major illness I remember was around September of 2006. I had a sore throat that I just kept ignoring. It got pretty bad and took several weeks to go away. I was insured at that job for over a year (temped for 8 months, then had a 6-month period before benefits kicked in) but never actually used my health benefits. Knowing what I know now, I wish I'd waived coverage.

Anywho, I had an appointment on Tuesday to see a doctor anyway (expect a post later about that) so it was funny that I started getting sick that morning. What are the odds? I left work yesterday after a half day, and haven't gone in yet today. I'm sipping coffee and feeling sorta ok, but I'll decide after I shower if I'm fit to go in. If I think I am, I'll grab some pho on the way down.

I'd just as soon stay in all day, but I can't really afford the time off. The hours I'm working right now are part of the paycheck that my rent comes from, and money is always tight for me those first two weeks of the month.

There was a point to this post, but I can't remember what it was. Maybe that's a sign that I won't be terribly productive if I make it down to the office.

I guess if I stay in today I can just work 10-hour days next week.

EDIT TO ADD:
I'm staying in. Just got wooooozy.

Feel better soon! I hate being sick too, and doctors, foo on you.

Ironically enough I spent a good chunk of sumer '06 in doctors offices and hospitals. Luckily it wasn't for myself. But I now know everything there is to know about MRI scheduling.
