Happy Monday everyone! Indeed it has been quite the Monday for me! Woke up at about 5:40 and showered.  I was not feeling well from allergies the day before.  I was going to go ahead and take the day off if I was not feeling up to the task of work.  I felt pretty good, so I stumbled into the shower as I always do in the morning.  Waking up for me is a pretty daunting task lately.  Although, it seems I am able to wake up early in the morning on my days off.

Soon after, sheff came over and we headed out to work.  We had our usual morning conversations, me complaining about something and him spreading the deep knowledge of things unknown to my mind.  I always enjoy our intellectually stimulating conversations.  There is always something new to talk about.

One of which discussed today was a story I heard about yesterday from my family.  A new earth has been found approximately 20 light years away! I don’t know if you realize, but 20 light years is mighty close in the grand scale of things.  This means there may be hope for mankind after all! This is, before we render ourselves extinct due to war or disease.  That thought aside, this discovery was made in my lifetime.  This is indeed an amazing discovery.  In essence, the astronomers responsible for finding this planet should be rewarded!

As the day went on, I started feeling worse.  My sinus passages slowly stormed my hypothetical bastille, revolting and throwing breathing far from its throne. We found our differences, me hacking and wheezing all day, he just simply sitting up there smiling at me.  This was all true until I discovered a little invention called the “Neti Pot”.  Binx told me about this and how it helps conepup’s allergies.  I thought I would give it a try.  This indeed worked marvels! This tea pot like device is designed to use gravity to flush your sinuses out.  Ever blow your nose only to find it filled back up with the sputum ready to ruin your day? Me too… This Neti Pot easily remedies this.  It simply pours water and a cleaning solution through one nostril and out the other, taking anything with it! “What a great invention!” I thought.

After work, things were not so forgiving… Things got worse.  I had a fever spike up to 99.6, I felt really tired, and just felt sick in general.  I laid down and watched a nice episode of House MD.  I love that show.  Every time I watch it, I think of what it would be like being a sarcastic doctor that everyone had to listen to.  I quickly started feeling worse and went back upstairs to contemplate sleep.

Obviously sleep did not win, entirely.  I sit here typing away at my keyboard thinking of all the possible grammatical errors this blog may have.  I then think to my self, who the hell cares? This is my life and my words.

I leave you in good spirits for the world.  We have found a new planet… Earth at least has a future plan B…

Even though my dreams of being able to tell my grandkids I was a man to walk among the stars are far fetched, I will at least be able to look at so many amazing pictures of our universe.
