Well Thursday was an event in itself. I got the call that I didn't get the new day job and so I was bummed for about an hour. Then I said "fuck it," and channeled what I was feeling into getting some art done. By the end of the night I had done three ANNA 2 pages, and 4 ADULT WEBCOMIC STRIPS. (and I am drawing these strips on horizontal 17x11 paper with large panels!) So the art Gods once again blessed me. It seems every time I get down on myself, the little voice in my head says "GET UP YOU SONOFABITCH!" Its like I got Rocky's manager MICK in my head sometimes, I swear.
But the next day I woke with sniffles, sneezes and extreme sinus pressure. I tried to pill pop and get better, even doing my trick of "ignoring" how sick I was feeling. That usually works. But by mid-day, my ass was kicked beyond repair. I had to cancel plans with Mjit and Dean, which pissed me off. I was really looking forward to getting my drink on and seeing my friends. But I knew I wouldn't be able to sit for long, nor drink on the pills I was taking. Plus I didn't want to get them sick. So I tossed and turned on the couch all night. Watched SHERLOCK episode 3 and some episodes of HOW IS THIS MADE on Netflix. Woke up around 9am, with barely any sleep in the bank. I felt like total shit. Aches, pains, headache galore and my brain was going a million miles a minute. Eventually I laid on the couch and got two solid hours of sleep. I woke up feeling much much better. Still a tad sore and blah feeling, but alright. I'm well enough to sit in the chair and blog now. So perhaps it is going, going, gone. Lets hope anyway.
I am fortunate in that I am never sick. EVER. I haven't called in sick to a job in almost six years. I just don't get sick. Little sniffles here and there but nothing derailing. Not like yesterday. I'm still not 100%. Maybe 70%. But I'll take it compared early this morning. I am the worst patient when I am sick. Totally helpless and I want to be babied. The wife wasn't having it. So I had to do it on my own. But I made it. I think. I hope.
Bad news is that the bots is sick as well. He's got a cough thats pretty bad. He's napping right now. Poor guy.
I think tonight I will continue this trend of getting art done and see if I can pencil some more shit while sitting at the coffee table. Wish me luck.
In other news, I scored the new Van Halen album. I heard it was surprisingly good. I have yet to listen to it. Also got Metallica's DEATH MAGNETIC. My pal Shane was mad at me that I hadn't listened to it yet. On a casual listen of the first 5 songs or so, its good. I'll put it on the "I'll dissect this album later" pile. The stack is getting pretty high.
Okay, have a great weekend. Be safe everyone!
