Daily Mood Quote
Day 149 – September 29, 2011
I'm not feeling very well – I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.
~Groucho Marx
I wasn't going to write today because as the quote says, I am not feeling well. But, that would not be the right thing to do. So, I'm going to buck up, stand up, shake off as much as I can and write. Let me tell you, the pain I am experiencing would make it so easy to whine. But I am not a whiner, I may be grumpy, a bit sharp in my attitude and a little careless in my disposition, I really do feel yucky...I guess it's that time of year. Every year I look forward to autumn, but I always forget the insidious return of the cold and flu season. Arrrgh! I guess every season has its caveats, With autumn, for me, it's sinus headaches.
I have grudgingly made a doctors appointment and I know he will put me on antibiotics. As my husband says, “Better living through chemistry.” I usually have to get pretty under the weather before I'll make that call though. The fact is, I hate going to the doctor's office. I'm always worried that they'll find something more wrong; as if they have quotas, or something. I know that's not rational, but hey who doesn't have irrational fears? But, when I am really sick, then all bets are off and my philosophy is, if it works, and I will soon feel better, bring it on. It's funny that I let things get so bad for me before I head to the doctors, when I'll drag my kids and/or husband there if I see a temperature rise, or even have the inkling that things are getting worse. Not me though...I'm tough! Well not really; I'm not tough, I'm just plain old stubborn. That's okay because my husband thinks that's a good thing and he sometimes quotes Christian Bale of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Empire of the Sun fame, who said of his wife Sibi Blazić, “What I love about my wife is that she's a really strong minded, stubborn, fiery woman. I find that sexier than anything else.” I think he said that to make me feel better and it does help a bit. Then he called the doctor.
Sooo.. “Stubborn is as stubborn does.” (thanks Forrest Gump for the paraphrase). I'm headed off to the doctors, face feeling like a balloon and grumbling all the way. Isn't chocolate a better cure??? Just asking.
How will you face your irrational fears today?
