i have changed

so it's been a really strange last couple of days. last week after we got back from sundance, i got really sick. Finally on friday i got in to see the doctor. 103 fever, hacking cough, night sweats, the works. the doc concluded i had a viral pneumonia infection in my lungs. So saturday morning amanda flew to dallas for work, and i spent the rest of the days, until today, home in bed. I'm back at work today, and some things have changed.

First off, the medicine that i am on really changes the way that things taste and smell. bottled water tastes like bad iced tea. the inside of my car smells like a hotel hallway (i just had it detailed!) and bread tastes like cardboard. So i haven't had any coffee since last week because it tastes bad. I tried to drink some this morning, but gave up.

I also quit smoking. my doctor told me i had to, so i did. I have bought two or three packs since i quit, and actually tried to keep smoking, but the cigarettes don't taste right anymore either. they tastes, like a wet dog. this is the worst medecine ever!!

however i am kind of excited to quit smoking, and maybe even knock off the coffee for a while too. I'm starting to feel almost normal again (sickness-wise). I would appreciate prayer for health and for being a quitter. I'll probably need your help. thanks in advance. oh and andy... i am still going to try and collect all of the back-cigarettes you still owe me. i think we're at about four cartons now. you can write me a cheque =)
