I Hate Being Sick!

I know who likes it? Well I don't and that is all there is to it. However, I really hate it when I am just sick enough to feel icky, but not sick enough to stay home. The last week I have had this @$#* cold and it has slowed me down. I haven't been able to smell things like food or my wife's perfume. The bad thing is that my nose began to work when low and behold my youngest decided to load his pull-up last night. I can't smell apple cider but I can smell that? Where is the justice? Really, my biggest complaint with this bout with a cold has been, how exhausted I have felt. I wasn't able to muster up my semi-daily walks to keep off the pounds. I have managed to get to work and I did make it to Judgement House rehearsal but I paid for it afterwards.

Speaking of Judgement House it is on Halloween night and Sunday along with the following weekend in November atWoodlawn Baptist. I play Satan this year like last year and some peole don't think it is a stretch. After I am done here I am going to work on my lines so I can get my evil on. Now it is time for this week's version of THIS WEEK IN HISTORY...
