Fighting the cold again=0(

Yesterday, in work, I realized, to my greatest horror, that I was beginning to feel a sore throat. I knew I would get sick. I must be the only person who gets sick in the summer but i know why. Going back to Thursday, three things contributed to me getting sick. First, I was dusting the shelves in work (I really do not know where all the dust comes from) and i was not even five minutes into dusting when i started to sneeze and my eyes got watery. then i felt as if i was swallowing the dust and my airways were constricting. realized i was in trouble when i began to hear myself wheezing. had to wet a napkin and put it over my nose to finish. I hate dusting. Anyway, then there was the three very inconsiderate people with their cigarettes, which further polluted my lungs....and finally, i got wet in the rain on my way home. by the way, i did speak to some smokers, who i found were a hundred times more considerate than these three morons. my friend, sal, the mailman, told me that when he smokes, he does it away from where there is people because he knows that second hand smoke is dangerous. he went on to tell me that when he started smoking he did not know that it could cause emphysema and cancer and all those other illnesses. he said it was the worst thing he could have ever done. i felt sorry for him. he is such a nice person! now, sal is in the beginning stages of emphysema but he is finding it hard to quit.
so yeah, yesterday, i had a fever. woke up this morning with one. took medicine, yucky stinky medicine simply because I cannot really call out at work. woke up this morning and i could barely swallow. spat in the bathroom sink and saw blood and decided that i should take the medicine. i guess i really picked up some bugs this time! Since laila left, it is hard for any one of us to call out of work because it puts strain on the other two people. So I took the stinky scary medicine and i felt better. tomorrow, sunday, i will open the store. the indian boss is going up to Jax (jacksonville, fla) for the Fourth of July weekend for a family celebration. I will open the store and the pakistani boss will close. Then next weekend, i take my vacation. whoo hoo! okay, gotta go now, game starts in 20 minutes!!!!ole ole ole ole, brasil will win, ole!
