A Time to Remember, a Time to be Sick

This post is actually a day late for both things mentioned in the title, but nevertheless, here it is. Yesterday marked the 5th anniversary of my grandfather's passing. I think one of the reasons it is even more memorable for me is the fact that I was in the company that witnessed him dying. Hearing that final breath escape him was rattling and eerie and odd, and I can still hear it when I think of that night. Such a wonderful man, he is truly missed.
As for being sick, that hasn't totally passed, but it has enough that I am going in to work again. I repeated what happened close to two weeks ago, in that I left work early the day before I ended up calling in sick. This time it was mainly a sore throat and some stuffiness, as well as headaches and a little dizziness. I couldn't get much food down, and naturally a lot of things made my stomach want to eject its contents. Eventually things settled down enough when I got too hungry, and my throat felt better, so I could actually eat something and not retch. After sleeping it has for the most part pushed on to a bit of a fever, but it's not bad enough that I am going to miss work again, especially since my boss is a bit annoyed at me for missing last night. I really want to get another job. I did look online last night and posted my resume at a few places and everything. I really need to learn how to write a cover letter, then I should be okay, at least when it comes to applying places. When I let my creativity take hold, I think an interview is sure to follow. At least I hope it does. Though hope and 50 cents won't buy me a cup of coffee nowadays.
It's probably a good thing I don't like coffee.
