Halloweenie Tissues

I've had a headache since Friday - that's 4 days. I say that because apparently when you tell someone, like the Nurse at your Doctor's office that you've had a headache since Friday, it's not evident that you've had a headache for 4 days. You have to say, "4 days". This is how part of our conversation went:

NURSE: So now you have a headache?

[After listening to me explain that I caught a head cold and sore throat from a guy in our office who watches YOU TUBE all day].

ME: Yes. I've had a headache since Friday.
NURSE: How long have you had the headache?
ME: Uhhhhhhhh..... I've had a headache since Friday.
NURSE: How many days have you had a headache?
ME: Uhhhhh.....well, I've had it since Friday so...
NURSE: How many days?
ME: That would be...Friday....Sat Turrrr Daaay..... Sundaaaaaaaaahy....aaaaaeeeeennnnd.... Monday.....
NURSE: How many days?
ME: 4
NURSE: Okay, so you've had a headache for 4 days.
ME: Yes. Since Friday.

The good thing is, the Nurse gave me an appointment within 2 hours. I don't know why they make you jump through hoops and tell long stories. I'm sure someone else was on hold and passed out while I counted 4 days for the Nurse. Also, they were not that busy when I got there.

The other good thing is that I bought Halloween tissues for my desk at work. This relates because I am sick and because looking at these tissues is the only thing that doesn't hurt my head. I have named the red-headed blue witch, Ursula.
