I checked out the van today at work and decided I'll just stick with the Expedition. The van doesn't have cruise control and had too much space so my coolers would slide around like crazy. I've gotten used to the Expedition.

So apparently once a week now I will be tracking rehabilitated fawns with collars. I am learning how to do it tomorrow. They are...

So the DEP swapped out my station wagon for a Ford Expedition XLT...and all I have to say is FUCK THAT.
That vehicle does not need to exist. It is MASSIVE. It gets like 12 mpg...and it's just a massive vehicle. I just talked to my boss about swapping it out for the van at the office because damn...
I don't feel comfortable driving something...

Went to the clinic today because I still feel like shit.
The doctor didn't argue that I needed to be treated for Lyme since I had flu like symptoms, and work around ticks...but she did want to make sure the nausea wasn't me losing blood from my stomach due to aspirin and ibuprofen...
and there is only one way to check that...

That's right...I had...

Thanks dad...for calling me and telling me how much of a waste of time and money my job is for the state of CT because the health of the deer population "doesn't matter."

Not sure why I still talk to him...

-Added-
One good thing is he basically said he wasn't coming when Christine and I get married. My cousin is getting married and...

So my mother is obsessed with this version of Amazing Grace sung in the Cherokee language. (Her grandmother was 100% cherokee)


I will admit it is pretty...but...
it seems a little ironic to me to have an indigenous people singing a song that was written by the people who took their lands, destroyed their entire way of life, and pretty much doomed them to an...

So I woke up today with the fever at 102...and called out of work.
I told them I am going to the clinic...

Then...
the fever vanished I am at 98.2...and have been all day.

So...I am not going to go to the clinic and tell them I have been running a fever for 4 days...only to be sporting 98.2 degrees as a temp.

Think I might be taking a trip to the ER tonight. Fever hit 103.4.
That's too high for my liking. Oh goody...debt...

Sigh...

-Me

-Added-
Down to 102.6, so I might be able to wait and go to the MUCH cheaper clinic in the morning.

-Added again-

Down to 101.4. I think I will be ok overnight as long as I don't spike again. Clinic...

Fever broke and my temp went back to normal before bed. I was stoked...but then laid down and even though it was like 80 under my blankets...I started shaking uncontrollably. Oh good...
Now it's 4:45am and the fever is back...along with nausea and a lack of sleep.

So I emailed my boss and I am taking the day off.
It's cool anyway...deer head pickups are...

101.8 temp now...ugh...
It's been fluctuating all day. At least I still have half a gallon of Gatorade from cutting wood yesterday.
It's been sustaining me fluid wise.

Maybe no work tomorrow if I am still this bad. Fuck deer heads...I need rest.

Oh good...a fever of 101.4. That's how I wanted to spend today.

Ugh...

Just caught myself up to the current season of Dexter...and God damn...
Easily my favorite season yet.

So I did some thinking, and I think this past show will be the last time I go see Reel Big Fish.
First reason: I've seen them 10-11 times.
Second reason: Scott quit the band to raise his first child. That is cool for him, but without Scotty...the band isn't the same. Half the entertainment of watching them live is the banter between Aaron and...
