Tuesday morning I wake up with a sore throat. Wednesday I wake up with a sore throat and a cough, the kind of cough that means you are getting sick....Really???? It is my birthday week and I think that my curse has expanded from a day to a week. I go to the doctor, he swabs my throat and nose. I don't have the flu or strep, but I have a virus. I get a z pack, some of that awesome cough medicine that makes me sleep like the dead, and a pain reliever. I go to the pharmacy and off to the house to dream land.
I haven't seen my shrink in a month. I was suppose to go on Tuesday, but I had a call in and had to work the rest of the day. This sends me into a tail spin of no one cares about me. I try to do everything I can to make other people's lives easier and they could give two shakes about mine. I am the boss, no one is suppose to care about me.
I have decided that my sister and I have the most twisted sense of humor. She tells me about her pathetic attempt at suicide with the bic razor and I say "why didn't you just take a handful of pills". Please do not get me wrong, I don't want my sister to die or to leave me alone in this world, partly because she is the one who gets how messed up I am and how much it sucks. Of course when I tell her this, we laugh wildly, she tells butch.....he doesn't see the humor in it (which makes us laugh even more). I am sure he feels responsible for our dilemma's. Poor man, I would not want to feel responsible for the three of his children. My brothers shrink told him (sorry, I will probably get this wrong) that he is "incapable of dealing with real world situations". Crap, I thought I had problems. I think that when your therapist tells you that, you have zero options left in this world. Sister wanted a t shirt made for him. I would use it as my get out of jail free card....the minute I didn't want to deal I would just flip out my card (signed by my therapist of course) kindly explain that I wasn't equipped to deal with the situation and leave.
I send my professor an email that I am unable to attend class because I am sick, I have a doctors note and would like to make up my test Monday during his office hours. By the time that Thursday gets here I am delirious from all of the medication, simple tasks are super difficult and I am giddy. Maybe, I was stoned. I had a headache and took the medication that was given to me for my throat, by lunch time, my head was killing me. I took my Excedrin migraine, headache gone. I am in no shape to drive across town not to mention thirty minutes away. My professor sends me an email that no, I may not make up this exam it will just be weighted into the last two tests of the year. Ass, I drop the class. Really, I know students pull this crap all of the time, but I am 40 years old with a 3.82 GPA, have missed only one class in my college career and I cant even get a make up with a doctors note. My husband is pissed and is thinking of going to administration. Oh well, hope karma bites dr. whomever in the butt.
