I thought it would turn out to be a cold or whatever, but that's not the case. If it's not the ebola virus or the bubonic plague... maybe it's the flu or something. It's pretty frickin' miserable to be me just now. I may not be dead, but I am almost to the point of wishing I were...
It's at times like this that I realize just how much I take some things for granted... like being able to sit upright without falling over. Or being able to turn my head without feeling like my neck is going to snap off. Or being able to stand up to pee.
Some holiday weekend this turned out to be.
Sorry you're not feeling better. Get well soon!

Aww... Poor Dave. If I lived closer, I'd come over and make you some soup. :(
I hope you feel better soon!
On a more positive note, not sure where you'll be on September 25th? (Although, I think that's the week you are in LA?) If you are in the WA state area, you should consider coming up to Vancouver to enjoy a "Third Tuesday" event -- It's our first real one! It's right up your alley.
Anyhow, if interested, check out http://www.thirdtuesdayvancouver.com

Is that all you're planning for your gravestone? Come on you can do better than that.
My bedside mannor leaves something to be desired.

Dave, sorry you're getting your leg peed on over the holiday week-end. If things don't look up in the next few days I'll offer the services of my personal Ya Ya Burial Society. That is, if you're not confident that Dave's Society will see to your last wishes in a manner that celebrates your days. The YYBS is full service--digs the grave, carries you up a long hill, plans and conducts the service--in high heels. . .
Not good symptoms, Dave2. Especially about the difficulty in standing up to pee. Yikes. Maybe Avitable knows about that malady.
If you have had these symptoms for 48 hours you should go and get a physician's advice, even if it means going to an ER on a Saturday or Sunday. A fever would also be an important consideration. My wild guess is you picked this up on the airplane from Chicagoland. No telling what it might be...

Sorry that you're under-the-weather, dude, but don't raise that tombstone yet. Switch the pudding cups for veggie soup and get lots of sleep...and although this will probably be an unpopular idea, you might want to spend little less time traveling (if you can avoid it - I know that's hard with your work). All that traveling has got to be rough on your body.
I you feel better soon, dude.

Dave you really need to go see a Doctor. Have a friend or family member drive you. I hope you get well soon.

I'm glad you're feeling better. I had a bout like that over Martin Luther King weekend last January.
Your desk pic is funny. How long did it take you to label all that?

I've been by-and-large fairly fortunate in not getting sick very often, but one of the worst times ever was when I came down with walking pneumonia. I laid on the couch all day and alternated between putting on sweaters, blankets and comforters in thick layers as I shivered, and throwing it all off as I burst into a fiery sweat. I had so little energy that it was a life changing event to crawl to the bathroom, which I did as little as possible. If I had not had roommates who took pity on me and fed me, I may well have starved to death for lack of ability to open a peanut butter jar.
You have my sincerest empathy and sympathy. Get better soon, very soon.

first, I think that peeing standing up is overrated. Second, your tombstone is going to have to have a dave toon on it. Third maybe this is what you get having a bad monkey as a pet or hooking up with those cheap whores in chi-land.
Or not.
Hope you feel better given that if I lost you as a reader, I'd be down to none.
Don't you just love how I turn everything into something about me? But seriously, don't die.
