Man Sick

I have had some sort of sinus/head cold sort of thing. Needless to say I haven’t felt well the past couple of days. As a dude I am not good at being sick because I am not sick very often. There are all sorts of memes about men being sick and how they are such babies about it. Well I can be a baby about it. Do you have to be sick all the time to be good at it? Is being sick something you really want to have to practice?

Anyway this man has a cold thingy and I am determined to survive it because I don’t want to be one of those guys who is a whiny baby because there are people who are genuinely sick in a chronic way and they genuinely suffer. I can’t imagine me if I were really bad off because I would be the saddest thing you ever did see.

One thing I admire is the woman who is sick but still has to take care of her kids, spouse and go to work because she doesn’t have a choice.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mom’s birthday. I am grateful for her and I love her very much! She has been a blessing to family and friends over the years. She is eternally “29” because I won’t reveal how old she really is because I know better. You might recognize the little guy in this picture.

So, I Went Home Early Today

I have some sort of sinus, cold, hard to breathe thingy going on. Today I went home early from work, which is a rare occurrence for me. It was good to come home, rest and take a hot bath to help open me up. My wife got me some good things to help get me well including making some homemade chicken noodle soup to help me feel better. Fortunately I have a planned day off tomorrow so I can rest some more.

Throwback Thursday #TBT – Squeeze – Tempted

This is the song I was referring to in my Daily Prompt post. Its a distinctly 1980’s song with a timeless feel. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the original video which I remember from back in the day.
