My Mumbling Thoughts

My mind is foggy and I've been wandering around the building as if I have been lost out in the desert for days without water. I might as well be foaming at the mouth, stripping naked and running out in the horizon screaming, "It's the beach! I see the beach!"

Yeah, so I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days. I think it has something to do with the heat and my sinuses. I try my best not to take any kind of medicine if I can help it, thinking that my body is all powerful and can fight off any infection, virus or disease without any problems. If I can attack it with plenty of fluids and fruit, then I consider myself good to go.

The bad news is that my body isn't all powerful (damn) and sometimes I have to break down and take a pill or two to coax my white blood cells into high gear and get their asses moving. The second bad news is that once I do take that pill or two that will be doing the coaxing, I am so pathetic and my tolerance is so low to any kind of medication, that the side effects hit me like a mack truck and I'm still left wandering around looking insane and asking people if they've seen my pet goldfish.

The heat is killing me. I've given up all hope of dressing up anymore to come into work. Screw it if we have an important customer or not. If they have a problem with my clothes, I'll ask them if they've been outside recently and do they feel like wearing an outfit that forces you to sit in certain positions if only to be slightly comfortable for most of the day? And let's just not get into the footwear, really.

I can see the smoggy air as I'm driving into work, lingering around rooftops and sticking onto plants. It's disgusting. People have to drive with the a/c in their cars blasting and then turn the defrosters on because their windows start fogging up. The air feels so thick that I can imagine kids scooping the humidity up in their hands like summertime snowballs and throwing them at each other.

It sucks. That's all. It just really sucks. I cannot wait until the heat wave passes and fall sweeps in the more tolerant temperatures. I've never been more ready to pull out my sweaters and greet the cooler months.
