Yep, Oral Thrush...a fancy name for a yeast infection in my mouth. Neat, huh? I'm prone to yeast infections. I get the vaginal ones every single time I get on any kind of antibiotic. A couple of summers ago, I got a nasty one in my armpit when the swamp coolers at work were broken and my deodorant couldn't keep up with my sweating. I've had painful white bumps on the roof of my mouth for the past two days. My good friend, the Internet, informed me that they were the aforementioned ailment. I guess they're the result of my illness the last two weeks. Of the several things they mentioned that could cause them, the mouthwash I was constantly gargling trying to kill the germs in my tonsils, the increased sugar intake from guzzling honey to soothe my cough and the lowered immune system from the illness are the culprits. Since I don't have the funds to go to the doctor, I'm going to try cutting back on the sugar, get some live culture plain yogurt and stop using mouthwash for a few days. Hopefully my body will get back in balance and I won't have to resort to expensive medicine.

I've had it with snow. I don't want to drive in it anymore. I'm tired of weather people making stuff up. Where are you Spring? How cruel that you tempted me with warm temperatures and melting snow just a few days ago and then make me scrape windows and take over an hour to get to and from work today. I'm tired of how stupid it makes other drivers. The snow is still here from mid-December. It's Denver...that is so rare here. I want to get my Christmas lights down. Is that all so wrong?

Now I've heard everything. Bank of America is offering credit cards to illegals. Oooo, but they have to pay a higher interest rate. Yeah. that makes it right. Are these people high? What is the point of citizenship anymore? I'm so pissed about this kind of crap that my head is going to explode.

I'm supposed to be to work at 7 am every Monday through Friday. I knew I was going to have to leave early this morning because of the freezing drizzle we had last night. Well....imagine my dismay when Marcus woke me up at 6:45 this morning. Yep, I was going to be late for work. I don't know if I forgot to set the alarm and or if I turned it off in my sleep (like I sometimes do). The good news is I slept soundly for the first time in weeks. The bad news is traffic is worse at that time of day than when I usually leave. That so sucked. Good thing we're a little slow at work and my boss wasn't really upset that I was late. It sucked to lose that hour of pay on top of the day I was out sick.
