What a hypocrite

Yeah, I'm talking about me! I went out and got a flu shot today (while I was at the doctor). It's fitting- I had one the first winter I lived here, and maybe this will be my last. My first winter here was my sickest ever, and started me off on 8 years of being sick all the time. So maybe this will be my healthiest ever.

Maybe I'll figure out a place to move to that has a huge and sunny yard, deal with my other health problems, find time to work out 2 hours a day, grow rad food, get some kind of a healthy relationship going on with some kids (well, the main problem is usually parents), and figure out some satisfying political and personal work to do. Add some hunnys to the list of sweeties. Read more books. Visit the motherland, and my dad, too. Travel to Puerto Rico. Ok, there ARE still reasons to live.

Maybe sometime soon I'll stop coughing till I pee my pants. But I can't hold my breath- the doctor warned me that i could be coughing for 6 months (she mumbled something about reactive lung, but i think it's usually called Reactive Airway Disease). Lovely!

But anyhow, would/will I get my kids vaccinated? You want to believe in modern medicine. You just want to. But it kills some people!
