So if you’ve read this blog from the beginning then you know I’m inherently an insomniac.
On rare moments where stress has left the room I rest (e.g. vacation), however on most normal nights my mind runs a mile a minute with all the things I need to do.
And staring a business for yourself doesn’t help because your to-do list never ends. So, yes…. I do take the lowest dose of Ambien to calm my mind down.
Well, my dear sweet Sleep Doctor retired (moment of silence). So before she left she put the bug in my ear that “hey, perhaps your primary doctor would be nice enough to write the prescription.” Good idea.
So this Tuesday I set up an appointment to get that paper.
Right away in the waiting room I noticed the following:

Everyone was SICK.
The germaphobe I am sat as far away from them as I could. I immediately wanted to abort my mission, but I had to think long term. If she said no I had to give myself time to implement a Plan B so I thugged it out.
Well, the mission was successful. She wrote the prescription.
But I kid you not, my throat was scratchy as I drove home. I figured a nice warm cup of latte would cure my throat and now subsequent chill. NO. And from that point on my health just went down.
I don’t know what kind of super-human flu strands those people had, but I’m here to offer this Public Service Announcement.
DO NOT EVER, EVER, EVER GO TO YOUR PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN DURING FLU SEASON, UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FLU. SCHEDULE YOUR NORMAL APPOINTS AT A LATER DATE.
