Hot "Heart Attack" Meal

I woke up this morning patting myself to make sure I was alive. Yesterdays fever had me delirious!! I even replied incoherently to a few text messages. Plus, I missed an important knock at the door.
It's really amazing what the body can do (with a little help from drugs) to repair itself.
I managed to lift my head from the pillow and stumble out into the kitchen. I tell you, I could have died yesterday and my body wouldn't have been found until today. My husband just basically ignored me. I think!! Hahah. For all I know, he was by my side and I didn't realise it. He would never leave me alone, he loves me too much!!
I think maybe he was avoiding my bad breath, cause I caught a whiff if it, and nearly puked. I didn't bother with breakfast, I headed straight for the toothbrush!!
I managed to take a shower, wash my hair, blow-dry, and straighten it in about 2 hours. Usually I can do all of this in about an hour. I have a standing lunch date on Mondays with Ling Lucas and there was no way I was missing it dead or alive!! Hahaha
Halfway through my preparation, I texted Ling to confirm we were still on for lunch. She was one of the people I incoherently posted on Facebook to, and she was somewhat confused. Her confusion led to more confusion on my part. But we managed to work it out.
NOTE TO SELF: Stay the fuck off Facebook when under the weather!!
I arrived at our usual sandwich shop and walked in the plastic curtain. To my surprise, the place had had a facelift. The walls were bright blue and yellow. I took a double look to make sure I was in the right sandwich shop. (an easy mistake for a sick blonde, lol)
The servers came to the counter to take my order, but instead, made a comment that I look very tired. I didn't feel like explaining I was sick, so I just replied "Maybe". If she only knew!!
I arrived at Krispy Kreme right on time, this is an amazing feet on any normal day, let a lone on a day that I feel weak on. I ordered a frozen blend and was told that the ice maker was on the blitz. Of course, nosy me, wanted to know if a work order had been sent in. (the way I asked, you would think I was still running the place) Ling said that an order was placed yesterday! I asked if it was sent priorty 1, which should have Norfolk out within 3-5 hours. Well, i guess some upper management asshole is running the show and hasn't replied to the email yet, therefore there's a hold up. So i didn't get my drink of choice.......Strike 2!!
The 25 year old, Store Manager they have running the place, obviously doesn't give a shit that it's summer and people want frozen drinks......all she seems to care about is her taking her days off........dumb bitch!! (Once again, proof that the care factor at this KK is non-existent)
While I was enjoying my lunch I heard 3 people order drinks that they couldn't make. That's a loss of over $10 in a space of 30 minutes......not good!! This store needs all the sales it can get. (if I was still the store manager, I would have visited my local petrol stationed and purchased 10 bags of ice, even on my days off)
I hung out for another 30 minutes and had about as much as I could stand of the place. So I told Ling that I was heading off. I knew she had drawers to pull and probably, shit loads of the store managers work to catch up on. With goodbye said, I was off.
I headed to the 'Hungry Jacks' across the street. Not for me, if that's what you were thinking. For my husband. We have a standing joke that I buy him the biggest, fattest meal 'Hungry Jacks' offers because I'm trying to kill him, so I can get his life insurance. (it's a pretty funny joke but only hearing it in my husbands broken Spanish translation) It's not true, but he makes me laugh every time he says it. And he says it every time I buy him his favourite meal of a large 'Double Whopper' with cheese meal!! He knows that there's no way I would eat this meal, you would have to force feed that meal to me through an IV tube for me to eat it!! I know it has the fat content of 3 days worth of fat. YUCK!!!
I headed home to give him his hot 'Heart Attack' meal, lol. When I arrived home I realised my fever was back slightly, so I've headed back to bed and hit the drugs. I think this is where I'm gonna stay for the rest of the day!!
