Not Feeling Well

Everyone hates getting sick.  Usually when I get sick it lasts for at least a month.  Usually sinuses are the thing that gets messed up for me the most.  But I tend to not get sick that often. *knock on wood*

Today I wasn't feeling well, but it was different than norma.  The head was just not there.  I've been feeling off for a few days now.  Finally got to the point today that I just had to take a sick day.  Woke up and was light headed from the beginning.  Fell down a few times and just had to give up.

Slept for most of the day and finally started to feel normal again.  I can't tell if it's the weather, maybe allergies, or maybe the sleeping pill that I usually take that just has messed me up.  Going to try going without it for awhile to see if that improves things.

It's also a good reminder of why I enjoy having a full time job that allows for paid sick days.  I used to go into work when I was feeling like crap before, just because if I didn't I wouldn't get paid.  I had a head cold one time and had to work in the garden center where I worked.  With all the pollen in the air and it being contained, it used to be outdoors, I was having a hard time breathing at all and started hyperventilating to the point I almost passed out.

Had to leave that day because I wasn't going to make it.  Should have stayed home.  I've learned now, and have even been told, that if I don't feel well then to just take off.  No use in being miserable, because I'm probably not going to get much work done anyways.  That and I'm sure they don't want to get sick from me anyways.  Now if only everyone stayed home when they were sick then everyone else wouldn't have to worry.

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
