All i want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth

and all i want for my birthday is to not have pneumonia...

my birthday is in a week, and i think that my pneumonia is relapsing. i went through several courses of antibiotics, and i've been on albuterol and mucinex and all sorts of other things, and i was actually feeling better... i've been back to work since last week Thursday, but each day at work just leaves me exhausted and i've been having couching fits the last couple nights...

i have been told that my store has an "attendance problem", but what it comes down to is that my store has an illness problem. We are so afraid to call in sick people come in sick anyway and then get the rest of us sick... and then the cycle starts... we each get sick and then we each get everyone else sick all over again...

i was under medical care and was on leave directed by my doctor for about two weeks. Yes, i was actually feeling better, but maybe i pushed myself to go back to work. am i contageous? i have no idea, but i sure hope not.

but i have a cozy apartment in which to suffer... (see picture...)
