I will survive if only out of spite

So by my count, I've been sick 4 of the last 5 weeks. 3 of the last 5 weeks, I have not been at work I have been so sick. I wouldn't actually bother whining about this latest one but for 2 things.

1. I'd already been sick for 3 weeks and "well" for about one. That wasn't just ANY illness, that was bronchitis. I'm pretty sure my one and hopefully only kidney infection was more pleasant that bronchitis. It took me two weeks to feel well enough to wish for death. But I digress

2. This was a freakin' cold. A cold that laid me out for 6 days, and 8 days later still has my throat uncomfortable.

Has ANYONE seen my immune system? I'd like to bring it home and nurse it back to health. I have visions of it turning tricks on Aurora to get enough money for it's next hit of crack. I won't even do the Jewish mother thing of "do you KNOW how worried I've been?"

So, I apologize for my absence. When I have been working, I've been uninspired at best. I'm uninspired today, but that has to do with being up since 5 a.m. And Bert, I can't even blame you, which has me VERY cross.
