End of VS. week!

I have had all these random thoughts going on in my head from the last week for a while. I don't know how the idea came to me, but it gave me topics to write about. Hope it all wasn't too annoying. I guess it was a week long meme of sorts.

It's been an interesting week. I think because of my late night last Saturday and my tendencies to have an occasional cigarette while out drinking with smoker friends, the congestion in my chest worsened. I went to the doctor on Monday and took the rest of the day off as I was feeling very puny. Upper respiratory infection I was told. Tuesday morning I was feeling even more puny and by Wednesday morning I was having trouble breathing. Back to the doctor I went and after some chest x-rays the new diagnosis was bronchitis. With the right meds now I am finally feeling better.

I have finally accepted the fact that I just have weak lungs and that under no circumstances will I smoke anything. That's OK, I won't miss it at all; I'd rather breathe. Even the occasional cigar with other friends will have to be a no-no for me. Eh... I'm really OK with that too.

I also will have to watch and get myself to the doctor if I am again feeling congestion in my lungs. I annoy myself with the coughing and well as others. I surely must have coughed up a lung by now.

I am tired of being sick, but I know that getting plenty of rest will get me back into life soon enough.

Hope y'all are having a great weekend.
