The Pita stayed home yesterday do laundry[nope], do the ironing[nope], watch Top Gear on the DVR[yep], be with me yesterday [I think, yes] ---- okay, fine probably just to get his 2.5 hour workout in.
One conversation went like this:
P: So what do you want to do today?
Me: Uhh, get better.
P: Let's go somewhere.
Me: like?
P: to look at cars.
Me: Ya, I'm sure that'll help.
P: You're not very nice today.
Me: I'm sick. See the temp [not good], hear me [I sound like a phlegmy 80 year old smoker], smell me [just kidding-I'm a showeraholic especially when I'm sick]
P: "Pour some sugar on" you! [we are a rare breed [couple] who can converse exclusively using song titles, we are just special like that.]
Me: "Every rose has it's thorn"
P: But you are my "wild thing".... you make my heart sing.
Me: fine . . "pass the Dutchie" - let's go.
It was a nice distraction until about noon when I thought my head and lungs were about to blow.
I mean look at this Panamera Turbo. [drool]
So it was back home for me and off to the doctor. Ya, I guess I do need those antibiotics after all. 2pm I get there. "Ummmm, honey your appointment is at 3pm".
I was too pissed at her calling me honey to even care about the time problem.
Seriously. If you are a woman, don't ever call me "honey. The only exception is if your hair is silver/white or if you are a parent of mine. I HATE, HATE, HATE being called "honey".
Anyway.
Wasn't about to sit there for an hour so I did what all good, kind, considerate sick people would do. . . . . . . went to buy running shoes.
Where I met "Andy" who will be joining me [sorta] at the Man Vs Horse race in October.
Andy: will it be your first trail run? [we had just finished the 15 minute talk about my "treadmill running"]
Me: Kinda. I did do the Whiskey Row Marathon but don't worry, I KNOW it's not the same type of trail.
Andy: The 25 will be challenging.
Me: Well, I'm doing the 50.
Andy: [nope nothing-just the look]
waiting
waiting
waiting
Andy: you are doing the 50? [yes, there was an emphasis on the "you" that I did not enjoy]
Me: You bet cha. Show me the buckle! [big warm, sickly smile.]
Andy: wow. I'll uhhh make sure to look for you.
Me: ya! It'll be fun to show you my buckle. [I'm joking-I didn't say that . . . .]
Me {revised}: You think I'm "done for", don't you?
Andy: I'll be really impressed.
Uggg. Whatever. He better not have sold me the "wrong" shoes. ;)
Note to self [never shop under the influence of Nyquil]
I am dying to try these out!!!
Now for a drum roll . . . . I have . . . . . walking pneumonia. awesome. He said I could call it running pneumonia if it made me feel better.
