Sickness

So a little while back I was trying to explain to someone that I sort of like being sick. I know it doesn't make sense....it doesn't even really make sense to me. But something about being sick makes me feel alive. I almost never take drugs when I'm sick or hurt....not even Tylenol.

Some might call that masochistic. I don't know.....


Derek Webb has this song that I always think about when I'm sick....here's the chorus:

I don’t want medication

just give me liberation

even if it cuts my legs right out from underneath

don’t give me medication

I want the real sensation

even when living feels just like death to me

I realize that the song isn't really talking about having a cold....still, I love the lyrics....and being sick reminds me of the song, which reminds me of my freedom in Jesus and the "life to the full" he promises. Check out the rest of the song here: Medication by Derek Webb.

On that note, there is one sickness I DO NOT like. It's called pink eye. And it's exactly what I have come down with as of this morning. I finally broke down and went to urgent care after I could barely open my eyes because the light hurt them so much. I got some antibiotics, and now I'm at home. Ugh......

Hopefully this stuff takes care of itself before we leave for Vegas. (2 days!)
