Ok, Ok I played fast and loose with the topic title but like I care.

Right now I am heading for the head cold from heck and I can feel my body slowly slide into the sick side of the force. I am doing everything I can do to head this off but I can tell when things are working and when they are not and they are just not.

I am not a good sick person and that is being kind. I really suck at being sick. I hate it with a passion of 1000 suns. I tend to want to hide when I get sick and deal with it on my terms and just not involve anyone else in my misery.

When I am sick I really don't want to deal with anything or anyone which is hard when you are part of a household. So I deal with things as little as possible.

And that really holds for the rest of the world.

Right now I don't give a flying flip about anything political. I know when I go back to caring we will be in just as big a mess if not bigger then when I left things. As to the Presidential campaign morass, I don't care. We are heading into the Vice Presidential debate and I just can't get excited about it. Normally I love politics but right now my nose running is more important to me than the candidates running.

Wall Street is screwed. I don't think that the bail out is even going to help. But I can't get worked up. I can't even get up the energy to get upset that my 401k is probably losing value faster than a stripper can lose their clothes. I just don't care. I haven't had a solid job since the downsizing after the last recession so why should I care about this one? I care more about the pain in my ears than keep in my ears open to see if there is work for me to do.

The Mets are out of the post season. The Braves are out. The Oriels are out. And I am supposes to feel something because the Cubbies are in it? I really don't care who wins what at this point. Yeah Tory proved that he can manage but it's the fricking Dodgers which I can't get excited about. We may have a White Sox vs. Cubbies World Series to which I say, "Have fun Chicago because I don't care who wins that one."

I have a million and three things I want/need to do but I don't feel like doing any of them. I have all this creativity bubbling up inside me. I am in a better place creatively than I have been in a while but right now I could care less. I look at the stuff I have put aside to work on and I can't get up the motivation to do anything. *goes off to yet again blow her nose which she hates doing* I have a lot of should do's that are not getting done. My family is bloody lucky that I managed to get laundry done before the cold took hold.

My apathy is legendary right now. I just don't care. But eventually the cold will pass and I will be back to caring about the world around me.

This was written for the 2nd week of the 5th season of LJ Idol. If you like it I hope you care enough to vote for it when the poll goes up Friday (if they aren't too apathetic to post it *grin*)

Gah, wow. I can really feel your aggravation with being sick :(

At least your apathy is (mostly?) conditional! :)

A White Sox/Cubs or Angels/Dodgers World Series would be fun :) If the Angels and Dodgers played it would be a Freeway Series lol.

I hate being sick :(

When I am ill I totally close down to caring. I don't even turn on the news but would rather watch (if anything) the soppiest of day-time TV or old re-runs of Friends and Frasier.

How aggravating to have your creativity and everything else sucked away by illness. I know i have days like that, but I try not to give into it or I'd always be sitting around doing nothing.

Hope you feel better!

I know that feeling, when the world narrows down to the tip of your nose. The drip at the tip, that is. :)

Since you posted this, are you by any chance feeling better at all? HUGS!

Great job in your thoughts about apathy!

It's hard to care about the state of the world when I'm walking around with a stone in my shoe. :)

I hope you feel better!
