I am having cold symptoms and a sore throat. I still went to the trainer and had a healthy breakfast, but I feel pretty shitty. I have a conference call at 9 am with a dairy farm that has a problem with an employee who lives on site. His wife is having mental health issues and threatened to kill the whole family and burn the house down, apparently, and they want to know what to do.

I am having coffee. I have to contact the office to go over a/p with my bookkeeper, but I will probably do that by phone. So AMA, because Pumpkin doesn’t give a shit.

I had a short flu I think, runny nose and general malaise all day yesterday. Last night I slept 14 hours.

Feel better soon!

I’ve felt like I had half a cold for several days, which isn’t unusual for this time of year. Since yesterday evening I’ve been getting dizzy if I move my head too much, which is unusual, so I’m working from home this morning, going to see a doctor shortly before lunchtime so I can know it’s not contagious so I can actually go into the office and get actual work done (only so much can be done remotely when all my notes and documentation is sitting on my desk).

I’m a big fan of mine. Favorite thing is buying a pork shoulder cube it. Pour like 2 cups of oj and garlic, onions, etc. Put roughly have the shoulder in at a time, pressure cook for 15 minutes or so. Then you get this crazy tender pork. I think if you do the natural release it makes it even more tender. Then when I actually eat the pork I toss some oil in a cast iron skillet and get the outside of the cubes brown and crispy and then it just f alls apart and I eat it with things.

No wonder you feel poorly with a breakfast like that. Needs eggs and bacon.

I’ve been struggling with a nagging cough that won’t let me sleep. I drink robitussin from a hip flask. So I empathize. Feel better.

You are a victim of too much travel, resulting in too much exposure to too many people. Sorry to hear that. Feel better soon!

It is. You can even do ribs in it too. They wont be as good as slow cooking with a smoker but they're still tasty

I hated doing it, but ditching coffee and switching to green tea with lemon was a start, hitting emergency-C or that smoothie you did is awesome. When traveling and I had to get through a last leg or something, I powered in with an airborne fizzy tab chaser on a dayquil gelcap. If anything, that may get you through that conference call and then you can collapse with a hot cider/lemon tea and a sleepy cat on a couch.

It sounds like any other apartment landlord issue with mental renters. Sucks, but the legal precedent in place probably sets that tone for options.

In school, whenever i was sick at home, the TV always had wither Tron or The Last Starfighter....guaranteed.

And their right, you should watch ice pirates.
