Third Time's a Charm
posted on july 6, 2004, tag: me
Yuck. For the third summer in a row, I'm sick. It's the middle of the summer, it's hot outside, people are wearing shorts and going to the beach. People are eating popsicles and throwing footballs.
People enjoyed their three-day, July 4th weekend and I spent all three days on my couch, coughing and spitting and blowing my nose every few minutes. I didn't get to go to Coney Island with everyone, I didn't go to the barbecue, and I barely made it through the walk to the East River to watch the fireworks display.
Today I feel better, which is nice, and for the first day in almost a week I'm not coughing that much. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to normal, or at least feel good enough to leave the house (maybe, say, to go to work). Thank god for my DVR.

Get well soon! I know (somehow) how you feel. My wife is going through something similar.

Sorry to hear. Make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids, washing your hands frequently, and getting plenty of rest. More than anything (well, a multivitamin won't hurt), those will keep you healthy.
And watch the sugar intake, too.

Damn it while we were enjoying a nice barbeque and some fireworks you were coughing and sneezing! Sucks getting sick !! Hope you are fully recovered and willing to go about as your normal self.

I usually get sick like clock work too. This year I didn't get sick so I thought I was in the clear. Luckily it crept up on me when I went to Europe to visit family for three weeks. Walking a couple miles each day with a ferocious cough and stuffed up head is great.

I have that same problem — I'm always sick in the summer. Weird. Well, hope you get better! And when you are, start making some more short-movies goddamit! :p
