cough cough cough cough cough

I wish this coughing would just stop.

Tonight I had plans to meet up with my friend and I spent 30 minutes before he picked me up just doubled over coughing. It reminded me of when I broke ribs coughing when I was sick in Japan for half a year. I don't think anything broke, but I'm tired of these coughing fits. There's nothing wrong with me except for this weird breathing/coughing problem that I've had this time for a week-and-a-half. Crapballs.

My friend and I went to Fatburger; I had a milkshake and onion rings (not impressive at all, I wouldn't get them again) and he had the daily special. We had a good chat about family stuff, as we've got a lot in common as far as aging parents, absent siblings, dealing with parental medical situations alone goes. I always feel better about my own situation when we talk because, while I'm likely going to have to take care of my parents on my own, it's good to know someone is in the same boat.

When I got home today from work, I was excited to see "The Young Girls of Rochefort" in my mailbox. Gene Kelly and Catherine Deneuve together! I can't wait to get the time to watch it. This week I also got "The September Issue" and "Vancouver Special," which requires a bit extra time to synthesize. This weekend is also Record Store Day and I'd really love to pop over to Red Cat and Neptoon for shows, but I have to put in a fair bit of time at work this weekend.

Geez, all that coughing is making me tired. Off to bed.
