Tired and Sick

Is it just because this is the week I have to work 40 hours?

Or because I have a dentist's appointment tomorrow at 11?

I mean, what is this all about? These chapped lips, these raw nostrils. What the hell? A nose that sneezes at least seven times per hour, a pair of eyes that make me look like I've done more drugs than Courtney Love, a head that all of a sudden feels like it weighs at least three more pounds...what is all this?

And my ear...my right ear...you know how in the summer when you swim and water gets caught in there and makes you feel like you have to shake your head really fast to get it out? It feels like that right now. Only there's no water. I just sneezed and it was like that. Do they make plungers small enough for ears?

Why does my nose run? It must hate me, because you know what? I hate it. I hate that I can't breathe through it, that I can't keep it from dripping copious amounts of watery mucus onto my shirt, that I can't even really touch it. Why a nose, anyway? I just want gills.

Just give me freaking gills.
