Being sick.. sucks

by Josh Newsome on Aug.17, 2008, under Life, Work

The title speaks a lot. I starting feeling like shit on Friday, and here is Sunday morning and I still feel like crap. I have been taking Dayquil, Niquil, Sudafed, and blowing my nose non-stop. It is getting old. I am ready for the throbbing in my throat to go away, and for my nose to quit being a spout for snot, and this stupid cough to go away, and for my head to feel normal again. The funny thing is, I didn’t get sick until I thought to myself “Wow, I haven’t gotten sick this year.” because I usually always get sick at least once a year. And then a few days later, WHA BAM! Same thing happened last year. I was talking to my mom and I said “Wow, I haven’t gotten sick yet this year.” and she said “Oh don’t say that, you will end up getting sick tomorrow.” No joke, the next day, I started to feel like shit.
So needless to say, the past couple of days haven’t been great. I only eat and drink because I have to. Nothing more. Food just tastes horrible when you are sick. And of course I know where I probably got it from. As most of you know I work at a grocery store. I handle pretty much all the money. At the end of that cashier’s shift, I touch ALL that money. No telling WHO touched it before them, whether they are nasty or clean. So I most likely got sick from handling that dirty money. I tell yah, I wonder about some of that shit. It is disgusting. So from now on, there will be hand sanitizer near me at all times.So I was looking at a post that I was going to do a couple of days ago, and I was talking about how I only had $2.16 in my bank account. Heh, wow. That was scary. Luckily I have a little more in there now. Not much, but enough to not be scared over. I said “It was because I had to buy those books for school.” But in reality, it is because I shop way too much. I can’t go to the mall without buying something. And I can’t just buy one thing… I have to buy a whole outfit. I buy things that I don’t need. Like I bought two shirts from rue21 and I hate them. But I can’t take them back because I don’t have a receipt and it has most definitely been 30 days. So I think that for right now, I have enough clothes. So I can quit with that portion of my spending. Another big spender is food. Food is essential. Everyone must eat. But what gets me is how much money I spend on food. Working all nights.. and having no time to actually eat anything, fast food is all that is there. Which is why I have put on so much damn weight. I need another plan.Well it is 6am.. and I woke up at 4 and couldn’t go back to sleep. I believe I a starting to feel droopy eyed again, so I think I shall try this whole sleep thing again.

Later.

Extermporaneous Speaking

by Josh Newsome on Oct.03, 2007, under Life, School, Work

Today is the the day. I have my speech ready and I am hopefully ready. I turned in my nutrition project today too, and think that it was about as good as it was going to get. But all studying for my speech is pretty much done, because they are doing maintenance on things down in the lobby at school, so it is quite loud. I had to put on head phones and turn on my music to block out some of the noise.

So this week I am house-sitting for my aunt.. again. This week she is on a cruise. I am just waiting for her to ask me if I want to go on vacation with her sometime, instead of her always wanting me to house sit. I like to go on vacation.

School has been stressing me out, but not only school, but WORK! If I am not at school, I am at work. I only have one day a week when I have the whole day to myself. Although, not sure what I am doing this Thursday on my day off. Last week I hung out at my friend Lindsey’s house. That was super fun. I should do that again maybe? There are a few things I would like to do, but truthfully I will probably end up staying at my aunts house with Rudy, Will and Doc. I need to take pictures of them and put them on here they are so cute.

So I don’t really have anything else to say, I just wanted to put this up because I had a friend say that I hadn’t put a lot on here. HI EMILY!!!

Everyday…

by Josh Newsome on Sep.12, 2007, under Life, School, Work

Everyday being something new I guess. I don’t know the meaning of the headline or the first sentence of this blog. I just didn’t know what to call it, or how to start it off.

So I guess an update is in store since I haven’t posted in awhile. I have a nice new computer.. or well.. not new, but new to me. I also got a “new” iPod, which is really an older model. Oh well! It works, and it works well. It has what I want out of an iPod. I bought it at a GREAT price too. The laptop was $400 and the iPod was $50. Both in very good condition. I have fallen in LOVE with this laptop already. The iPod is great too. I could go on forever.

School has been alright. Just really trying to make sure and study, and make good grades.

Other than that, nothing is really new. Everything is the same. I have no real life.

Oh.. but at work I am getting a raise and I am going to be a regular cashier. That is exciting.
