Two days ago, I had the feeling like a storm was coming. A storm of illness. Sure enough, yesterday morning, I awoke and sure enough, I was sick. I woke up at 4:00 AM with a sneezing fit and my throat feeling as if I swallowed a knife. Yesterday I made a trip to the doctor and he informed me that it's just allergies. First of all, I felt really sick, and if I'm spending 30 bucks and 45 minutes in the lobby, I'd better have something far worse than allergies. I literally spent 45 minutes in the lobby, and saw three people come in after me be taken back right away. It was like that Seinfeld episode where Eileen goes into the restaurant and they have to wait and watch other people come in and be seated right away. So, I was finally taken into the room and the doctor came in and I'm not kidding that it took him literally five minuites to come up with my diagnoses. He checked me over really quickly and could tell within just 5 minutes. Well, he gave me samples, a nose spray and sent me home. Last night, my coughing got out of hand and so dad let me take some of his hydrocodone and that relaxed me a lot. But I started feeling really hot. I took my temp and it said 102. It freaked me out. I layed in the chair for a while, watching TV. I forgot to mention that dad is sicker than I am. We looked like Xavier and the other guy in The Spanish Apartment after the scene where the girl breaks up with Xavier and the other guy finds out he has a kid. We both sat on the couch out of it. We watched this really great movie called , "The Greatest Show On Earth." It was so good! It's about a circus, and the people invovled in bringing the show to life. Dad really enjoyed the clown sequences. One of the clowns was Emmet Kelly, a really famous clown who invented the stlyle of "the tramp." One of the other clowns dad regarded seeing at clown camp. He said they gave this guy $1,000 a day to lecture. Last night, I went into the night with shivers under three layers of covers. Cold sweat really creeps me out. In a way, I wouldn't want the high fever and cold sweats without the hallucinations. I decided not to go into work or school today. That may have been a bad decision, but while only feeling a little better, I still didn't feel well enough to get out of the house. So, I sat inside and watched TV on the LCD flatscreen. Towards the afternoon, I searched for cheap tickets to Universal Studios and MGM studios (changed to Disney Hollywood Studios as of 01/01/008) and really found some great deals. I'm dying to take Amy there. Ebay has some great deals as well. Too bad we aren't eligible for a time share presentation. If we could, two tickets would equal $20. It would be funny acting like a married couple just to get cheap tickets. One of us could act interested, and the other on not, and we could get into an argument with the time share salesman, and make it looks like the marriage is about to end. And the salesman might just even throw in a free week in a time share on them. Tomorrow, I'm hoping to feel A LOT better. I definitely want to get out and do something when I get back home. Staying inside really has been getting me down. I guess just a sense of claustrophobia. I'm surprised I haven't been spying on the neighbors like Jimmy Stewart in "Rear Window." OH! Also, John Ford's western epic "The Searches" is playing at Emory next Wednesday. I cannot wait to see this. Also, Dan mentioned that we might put on "A Dolls House" in the fall, which is awesome for two reasons: 1) It's a great play! 2) Dan hasn't mentioned a word yet about the fall lineup. Everyone is dying to know. Tony and I are lobbying for 2 plays. Picasso in the Lapin Agile in the fall, and Glengarry Glenn Ross in the Summer. It would be so much fun doing Glengarry. Well, I cannot say anything else, because Bill Maher is on!!!
