I was trying to look up funny cartoons to put into a friends 30th birthday card. Somehow I came across the above cartoon which obviously has nothing to do with birthdays but made me laugh out loud.

I have been rather sick for the past 2 weeks and finally went to see the doctor yesterday. I thought I was rather congested until I was sitting across from this old woman in the waiting room with an oxygen tank. She was sooooo full of phlegm and kept spitting it out into a napkin. I felt like an asshole for going in with my "congested" chest after that. Turns out I have a sinus infection and my chest is clear after all! I went on my way with stinky horse pills and some nose spray that I have to take for the next 10 days. My only question to the doctor was regarding booze and the pills as I'm headed for Vegas next week, he didn't seem impressed but thankfully my last dose will be taken the day I leave so all is well.

I slept over at a friends last night and was woken up at 5 am by this ridiculous windstorm. Apparently the wind reached 100 km/hr and completely tore out their patio cover. The metal rods slammed against the house and I had visions of them coming through my window and impaling me as I tried to sleep ( I have a vivid imagination granted it was crumbling right outside my bedroom window). The whole structure was torn down and in absolute shambels; trees were knocked down, power was out in various areas and of course the skyways were closed. I wasn't able to get back to sleep after that and dragged my very tired butt through a long day at work.

I am very much looking forward to Friday as I have not made any plans nor do I plan to. It's a weekend of rest and relaxation before Sin City sucks me in and has me up until the wee hours of the morning. I remember Vegas kicking my ass last year so I need to prepare myself for this go around :)
