30 August 2004 - day

DAY ONE

I think today is the first day for the next part of my life. The problem is that I'm not there yet. There, being the physical place that I could, should but instead will be in about 2 days. Today started out with me waking at 4AM dehydrated and my throat killing me. I was in and out of dreams until Shane called me to tell me he's almost ready to go get his hockey gear. I realized my throat was clogged. Without going into too much detail, it turns out that I am now suffering from a 101 degree fever and a throat infection. Shane spent over $800 on hockey equipment. He was like a little boy at a toy store. It was great. It was nice spending time with an old friend and it was nice seeing someone excited about something. [Passion is a beautiful emotion sometimes.] Just sucks that I was miserable and felt like dying. On the way back from the hockey shop i called my Medical Clinic to make an appointment. Lucky me, there was room. Thankfully as a Disabled Vet my medical is free for life. Doc was cool, and wasted no time. Two Rite-Aids later, i got my little prescription of Amoxicillin. If I recall my history of Anti-biotics correctly, i should be feeling better in about 2 days. Just in time for our departure.
