My Wednesday
I didn’t feel like going to work today. Fortunately, a potential crisis unfolded which kept me away from the office.
I awoke at 5 a.m. with a tight chest, and a slightly reduced ability to breathe. I tried to sleep a bit more, found it difficult, eventually drifted off, had a touch of sleep paralysis, then woke again at 8 a.m.
I got up, Googled my symptoms, which turned out to match those of a heart attack. So, I showered and took the train to the hospital.
Six hours, a huge blood test, a chest xray, and an EKG later, nothing appears to be wrong w/ me. It’s either indigestion or a chest strain of some sort (insert joke here).
The guy taking my blood asked what I was reading. He found it ever so curious, said the Bible was true, that Satan lies, etc. I didn’t feel like arguing w/ him, but felt like saying, “The Bible’s irrelevant. You think it’s a valid work, I do not. We’re not coming from the same place philosophically”. Instead, I joked for him not to hurt me w/ his needle.
On the bright side, I’m not dead. And I finished my book.
In other news, I’m soon going to have to make a decision regarding my crush. I waffle between telling him how I feel and…not. I should because it’s proactive and will put me out of my misery and is brave. I really, really don’t wanna ’cause I like him a lot and have for many months and I’m ugly and don’t have the right to go after what I want. You can see my dilemma.
I anticipate being quite depressed in ten days.
Oh, and I love this blog layout. And, groovily, it was co-created by Canadian musician Matthew Good.
