How long Have I got

How long Have I got, Doc?
[Sick as a Dog]
Well, the flue, which has been dancing round the edges of my reality, has decided to settle in. I feel like a Nyquil commercial. Nose is runny and my head is stuffed up and I feel I am witnessing the world through transparent cotton. I went two days with out my regular hot peppers and I am convinced that going with out the peppers was my down fall. I had a couple today but I think “too little too late.” I am only scheduled to work two days this week but maybe I’ll call in sick tomorrow if this disease gets any worse.

I got in a weird cleaning mood this morning when I settled in my computer room to write out the Christmas cards I have been trying to get to all week. I actually wrote out the ones to all my immediate family which is major for me. I have to do nieces and nephews next as well as close friends—this may or may not happen. I do have to get my gift cards out. Shelly called the other night and she was interested in seeing what the local housing market was like. So, Dianne was out at the market last night and was able to get a bunch or real estate magazines. You know the kind which are in the free dispenser round the front door to markets, convenience stores and the like. Since a majority of the gift cards are also going to the same address I plan to stick them in the same envelope of box. I just hope I will be able to get them in the box, labeled and metered and out in time for the big day. So, I am in the computer room cleaning up. I spent the major part of the morning filing. I tend to let things like bank statements, cell phone and credit card bills just pileup till I cannot stand the bills being everywhere. I probably would be much more concerned regarding timing of the bills but I maintain all of these expensed via the INTERNET. I do not have the courage check th box which states that I no longer wish to receive “hard copy” of the bills. I would be so much smarter to go paperless. Like I said—the bills bill up and then one day I file them. I had I not used the image from “Fantasia” a blogs ago I would have used the image of the relentless brooms filling the tub. It’s like the never ending statements from everywhere—especially the banks and credit card companies. The credit card “come ons” is pretty bad too. This really pisses me off. Its not enough to just throw the credit card applications away—you cannot do that identity thieves—so now I must save everything into one pile so some day in the near future I can waste a couple of hour shredding the brochures and applications up. Maybe, I can pay Auni a dime for each envelope she does the deed to.

Sick or not I have been busy today. I put a roast on earlier, read a couple chapters of Stephen King and got the card written and addressed and it’s only 3:30 pm
