Do you really have to ask ME that?

When I had my procedure in January, I had the absolute pleasure of being home without Danny for a week. I had the other kids waiting on me hand and foot. The best friend brought me soup.

Seriously.

I would love to spend a day or two confined to bed in my favorite pyjamas, with a stack of DVDs on one side of me and a stack of comic books on the other side, and I would have a full glass of 7-Up at all times and I'd get my temperature taken (ORALLY, thank you) at least once an hour and they'd look at the thermometer and say "ohhh, you poor thing" even if my temp is normal, and the blinds would be drawn and I'd get to sleep wearing an ice mask.

I feel just fine for the most part, but this sounds heavenly. Better than a vacation, really.

Ya know?

Oh, and I want one a them little bells for when I have needs, I can ring it.

I never feel more lonely than when I'm sick. Cause there's nothing worse than dragging your ass to the store for orange juice and pain meds when you're feeling like death.
And I don't have anyone to do those things for me.

i believe that is called..hypochondria

pretending to be sick so you can get serviced?
i thought that was just being a faker.

In my younger days (around the time I was drunkenly collecting things from the street to decorate my home) I would daydream about the most perfect thing I could think of


which if I got the need for fizzy coke gummies, could drive me to the shops and I need not even get up!

i don't want to be a hypochondriac nor do i want to be a faker. i just want to be pampered and pitied. is that so much for a man to ask in this life? it's not like i'm asking for fame or mountains of money. just let me lay in bed and read a damn spidey funnybook and sip on a fresca for a couple of days. take a look at beyonce's list of demands for a concert, then think about what i want here. it's really pretty modest in the scheme of things. that is all.

You know when people talk about taking a "mental health" day from work? I think this is exactly what they mean.

well, i work evenings so i'd have to take a mental health NIGHT and endo could cater to my therapeutic needs once he got home from work. i think i'll rock it all shug avery style, too. if i don't like the dinner or snacks he brings up, i'll scream "DAMMIT FOOL, ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON ME?!?" and fling that food right upside the bedroom wall.

i think this will be fun!

i love being nursemaid
and i hate people who aren't good sick people


but i guess i'm one of them i'm quite bitchy
when someone tries to take care of me when i'm sick.
