I’m at home with intermittent headaches from my shitty glasses and sinus cold. I’ve already watched my fill of SpongeBob and Pokemon.
When I was a kid, staying home from school was a gentle see saw of actually being sick and pretending to be sick so you could watch The Price Is Right, The $10,000 Pyramid and countless befuddling soap operas. But I think kids today have it harder – you can’t fake it a lot or you’ll wind up being medicated for ADD or something. They’d probably squander their free home time on Xbox360 or something because there isn’t anything great to watch on daytime TV these days other than half crazy chat show ladies that discuss serious social issues. Like supermodels in fat suits. No, back when I was staying home, I recall Match Game and re-runs of Hollywood Squares where B and C list celebrities pushed the daytime TV envelope with racy jokes:
Blarg my nose is running again and is raw from wiping. I need Puffs Plus.

That was me last week. Still not 100% but had to go back to work today. I’ve been downing Benylin like nobody’s business.
Hope you feel better soon x
Happy New Year! May I suggest a Neti Pot or similar device? I started using one recently, and find it odd, bizarre, kinda gross, and helpful for sinus pressure.
We’re in the dam boat. I have te lovely strep throat– yet am at work because my company’s sick time/vacation policy is so fucked up I can’t afford the time off.
Kyle: It certainly made me wonder what my mom got up to all day long (she eventually became an accountant. How that relates, I dont know.)
SharkBoy: Its no fun without you!
Sshhhhh. Shhhhh. There there
