oh man!

i've been sick. have i mentioned that? since about saturday, although it kicked in good about monday. been down for the count ever since. the flu, i think. i was able to get out of the house today and ride around with my sister while she did errands. that was a hoot. was doing good with our little trip until the end. sigh.
we're in hampstead stopping at the exxon on the corner of 210 and 17. i get to the counter with my drink, sonia is behind me somewhere. this other lady calls attention to a man on the floor by the drink fridge...he's having a seizure. sonia is a nurse. an ICU nurse. i'm thinking, 'great, we shouldve gone to the hesswilco'. but oh no. sonia doesnt want to deal with turning left. so she gets seizure guy instead. but all in all i was glad she was there so the guy didnt choke or hurt himself. there was another lady there that just kept telling the guy, 'calm down' . like thats gonna get thru. but i told sonia, she didnt know cause she's just a civilian.
and i got to keep the guys head off the cement floor so he didnt hurt his head. used some people skills.
sonia kept saying after we left, 'i vowed to never use my skills in public' and i told her 'if we had only gone to the hess wilco.... but oh no, you didnt wanna turn left'

still not tired. oh yeah. about that. you'd think that with me being sick i'd sleep for hours on end. no. i cant fall asleep for nuthin. and when i do the longest i've been able to stay asleep is almost 4 hours. AND thats with sleeping pills, benadryl, nyquil...4 hours. otherwise i get 30 minutes here, 10 minutes there. argh. its like, ok, recharge. bugger.
