I was sick a month ago and had to be out of work for a week. Ever since, I have had my trademarked sexyphlegm cough/voice. And ever since last week, I've felt like my ears were being pressurized the way they are in airplanes, or when you change elevations as you're driving.


Back in Maryland, I hardly ever got sick. I got sick maybe once a year. Also, I never even had allergies. I barely had to use my inhaler. When I lived in California, I lived off my inhaler because it was always hard to breathe on account of my chronic bronchitus. But when I moved to Michigan, then to New York City, then to Maryland, my lungs were fine.


Well, now that I'm back home in California, I'm getting sick all over again. Like I said, a month ago I was sick. And now it seems like I'm getting sick again already? I need my inhaler more than I've needed it in the last 4 years, but I've used it all up and don't have insurance to go to the doctor to get another one. Not for another month or two at least. And then I get BlueCross BlueShield, which is awesome, because I need an inhaler, Z needs blood pressure medication and new glasses and I need contacts (wearing my headset on top of my glasses at work gives me some killer headaches).


I'm starting to wonder if California is hazardous to my health...
