I'm officially giving up!

That's it, I'm done for. I've known for quite a while that my body doesn't like me, and I've tried for mutual hate. It's gone something along the lines of: Body: "Oh really Mind, you think you're gonna get to go to work this week? Well here you go, get a load of this cough!" Mind: "Well body, if you're trying these shenanigans, I'll just ignore them! Let's get cracking!" Body: "Oh, I'll escalate this conflict, here's a fever!" And so forth and so on...usually there's a tie where me (mind) has to take a day or two off, and Body decides to play fair for a good long while after that small victory.

But now, my body has obviously decided that this was my expiration date and from now on, every day I'm still alive is a freebie, and a painful freebie at that. I woke up this morning (yet again) from coughing, but this time, for fun it seems, I got this sudden, sharp pain in my left lung/side and it hurt so much I thought I was gonna throw up. It still hurts if I move/breathe/write/talk and the only reason I'm at work is because I'm refusing to stay home any more. Will you never be satisfied Body? It basically feels like someone has beat me with a baseball bat. Thanks world, now I'm really looking forward to that four course dinner at the fancy restaurant that I'm never gonna get to go to if I don't go with my work today. I hope nothing in my side is broken...

Please do that mumbo-jumbo sending me positive energy thing that Brian keeps talking about! I'm sure that we can beat my body into submission together!
