I was so close to calling out from work today. I actually called my boss, but changed my mind at the last minute cuz I'm stubborn like that. I told him that I would be there to work, but I don't know how much good I would be. I told him I'd do what I could and do as much as I could.

I'm thankful that today was a slow day. And that there wasn't a whole lot of prep work to do. I didn't get it done as fast as I would normally have gotten it done, but under the circumstances, I managed to get it done efficiently enough.

When there were only a few things left to do, easy things, I asked Gary if I could go. He asked me what was left, and when I told him, he said yes. So I left work about 3 hours earlier than I normally would for a Monday, or any day for that matter.

He kept smiling, smirking and surpressing laughter whenever he came around me. At one point I asked him what was so funny and he told me that I looked horrible. I felt horrible though, so I guess it didn't suprise me that I looked that way also. My sinuses are so swolen, it feels like my eyes are wanting to shut without my permission.

My throat is not bothering me as much as it was, but now my nose is just so stuffed; I woke up periodically during the night cuz I couldn't hardly breathe and I had trouble breathing while working.

I feel miserable. I'm sorry that I'm pouring all this out for you guys to read. But that's what Nutang is for right? To just simply write out your thoughts, opinions, and such. Well, right now, my thoughts are simply on getting better... and before Wednesday cuz that's when I have to work again.

So I've been sitting here for about 5 minutes now, watching E! True Hollywood Story: Johnny Depp. I absolutely love him. He's so hot! And he's an amazing actor. I don't mean to be cliche, but I would have to say my favorite movie of his, is Pirates {both one and two, and also probably when it comes out, three}. I love him in other movies as well; Edward Scissorhands, Secret Window, Blow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride {he's the voice of Victor}, From Hell, The Ninth Gate, etc. There are so many movies that's he's been in that are good. I think there's only one movie I saw that he was in that I didn't like: Finding Neverland. As much as I like Peter Pan, I was not at all into this movie. Whatever. He's still an awesome actor.

Anywho, I don't really have much else to say right now. I haven't written anything on either of my other two names lately so I might do that later this evening, granted I'm not sleeping. That's my plan for tomorrow. I don't have to go anywhere, so I'll be sleeping most of the day. Hopefully that'll help my immune system do what its supposed to and get rid of this damn cold. Till then...

I love movies by Tim Burton and he likes to use Johnny Depp so I guess by the chain rule I like Johnny Depp too.

If you want to feel less congested...
...I suggest you use Afrin nasal spray (oxymetazoline HCl). What it does is it stops the nose from producing a lot of the mucus. Just blow your nose, spray twice in each nostril, and enjoy relative decongestion. Only thing is that you can't use it for more than three days in a row. Usually the congestion is more manageable by then anyway.

I like Johnny Depp!! And he looks different in almost every movie he's in which made me wonder, is this really Johnny Depp? I only watched Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory though now I think I shall be raiding my aunt's DVD collection again. Of course that's what NuTang is for.. why else is this a blog anyway? I know I'd said this many many time but get well soon!

Not to sound homosexual or anything...
I like the combo of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. J.D. is an amazing actor and he fits out every part he plays to a tee. I mean, from writer to pirate, to weirdo chocolate factory owner to frightened zombie's husband. It's just awesome. I love Tim Burton's work. My room is filled with it. LoL.

Anyway, I really hope you feel better soonder then later. What I usually do to get rid of the cold is take a hot bath or sweat out the sickness. It seems to work all the time, that's why I don't get sick as often. Trust me, I'm not healthy, but I do work out or sweat out things once in a while. So...you could try. And usually tea helps me a lot, too.
