postscript. I think I may actually look into the Carpenters Union here in Chicago and see about technical school/classes with them.

Being sick has its benefits. One of which is that I haven’t had a cigarette for a week. The only problem is, now that I’m feeling even just a LITTLE bit better, I can FEEL the cravings start and I’m worried that it’s going to turn me into a monster and we’re not ready for that yet.
So my options are, have a cigarette (and be that guy that gives up again), and come back to quitting when I can afford some ‘help’ in the form of accupuncture etc. or try my to keep myself busy.
The latter is really hard since I don’t have any of my stuff up here with me. Keeping busy for the most part = eating, watching the tele or using Carey’s computer when she’s not using it.
hrmnrnnrnrn..
New Years Eve I came down with the flu. Carey spent the evening taking care of me while I made my way through textbook symptoms of neasea, vomiting, diarrhea, cold sweats, chills, fever, hacking away all night, not enough energy to sit up in bed etc. It’s been five days now and I’m still dealing with it. I’m back and forth between feeling like I need to throw up vs. feeling like I could sleep another decade.
I’ve been so drugged up, whacked out by this that I feel like I haven’t seen my girlfriend for weeks and that makes me sad. She’s been here the whole time, we’ve talked (I think), we sat on the couch for a bit last night, she picked me up from work yesterday… but it feels like a dream.
The apartment is/should be on quarantine for the next week or so. Nick started showing signs of sickness a few days ago, Carey is now coughing, I heard Steven coughing this morning regardless of how many light switches he sprayed with Lysol last night.
I’m just hoping that I start to feel better soon, both because I start work full-time on Monday which won’t help the getting better process and because I figure at the rate Carey is going, she’ll be sick by this weekend or Monday and will need some taking care of which I can do much better if I’m not also still deathly ill.
