What kind of friend am I?

I pride myself on my intelligence and intuition. Yet, I am so flaky at times...I have a wonderful friend who lives in New Mexico who is going through some really tough times. I think about her all the time...no joke! But just thinking about someone and hoping things get better for them and saying prayers for them don't really impact them on a face-to-face level. I feel like I've been a really crappy friend, not calling people back for weeks at a time. I always have my excuses...for example, this particular friend of mine called and left such a nice voicemail and I totally intended to call her back within the next few days...but then I was partially delirious from a nasty illness which turned out to be a sinus infection with pneumonia (seriously...I am not kidding about this) and it took me all the way until YESTERDAY to feel like a normal person again...that's the full 10 days of antibiotics plus 4 days at work...one of my students is on experimental steroids and it makes him totally incapable of controlling his impulses. The poor little guy is only 3 years old!! In my personal opinion, I think they need to try something else. He has serious breathing problems but they are making his quality of life worse instead of better!!

Sorry, running on a tangent. Friday night I finally felt like a halfway-normal version of myself and here I am, sitting on the couch, blogging and coughing like crazy because guess what?? I've got a sinus infection again. GRRRRRRRR!! I literally feel like growling but of course I won't...it would hurt too much.

Basically, I'm getting the feeling like I can't do anything right...and I am so damned sick and tired of being sick and tired....

Okay. I'm just going to stop here.
