Shot #6 out of 48

I'm just feeling a wee bit better from the last couple of days. Now It's shot day and I'm in for a rough couple days. But I can worry about that when I feel that that way, if I feel that way. Right now I'm exhausted and feel like crap. I am staying in for the night. I'm not going to any of my meetings nor am I driving spencer home. I think its just better to watch T.V. and rest and get this bug thats been buggin me out of my system.

When the body walks around in a fog for a few days, and takes in the breath of bewilderment and confusion mixed with a big cup of "Yucki-ness" it can only do one thing but exhale mental exhaustion and spit up something called do-able fatigue.

It seems that my feeling sick from the last couple days and my nausea, sprinkled with trips to the toilet, has finally left and gently slipped around the corner and all that is left is its shadow leaving me in the afterglow of a misty mental mind fog feeling. I am a zombie without the toilet paper wrapped all over my body. I might have a piece stuck to my shoe here and there, but sometimes thats life and we have to go through life with toilet paper stuck to our shoe for a period of time before we must wipe our own feet clean on our own.

And so here lies Another moment that I am getting over from being sick again. And so I wipe my feet clean, perseverance is moving through what life throws at me. And now I am here to face what is ahead of me for the next few wonderful days. I know deep down, in front of me, my next few days will have me feeling like a whole bathroom where wet toilet paper is on the floor waiting for me to walk all over it and get it stuck to my feet. But, Until I find A new bathroom, I will just persevere through this one and pick off all the little crap that life gives me on my way. I can make it through it.

I feel like shit but I don't feel like crap.

Anyways,It's really no big deal. This is just a bad metaphor.....Its not real...This is all a just a stupid metaphor conjured up by me.

===================================================

None of this probably makes sense so I will sum it up for you. We will call this section:

How Hepatits C Treatment is affecting Jason Today (FOR DUMMIES)

I've been sick. Starting to feel a little better but still feel like crap. Still not feeling good. Today is Shot Day. The shot doesn't make me feel better.
