3 day weekend!

AHEV has now decided that we are going to have weekend shifts.. so Shelley and I drew the first rotation. This is actually quite fine by me... since this weekend will be a 3 day weekend to compensate for the loss of my upcoming Saturday.
I finally asked the nurse to take me to the doctor's yesterday... I lost my voice and was coughing really bad. So at lunch she took me to an ear, nose and throat specialist. He said that I had a cold and gave me meds for my cough... then... pushed on my stomach and asked if it hurt. "Yes" I answered, thinking "dude you just pushed hard on my stomach, of course it is going to hurt"... turns out that I have an ulcer (or the beginnings of one)... he said that that is increasing my feelings of crappiness... and his perscription.... wait for it now.... "stop eating chocolate and be less stressed!" Are you f'n kidding me????? First of all... being less stressed is really easier said than done... and "B", you eat chocolate when you are stressed.... it's desserts spelled backwards for goodness sakes!
Urgh... I guess I am going to have to find another outlet for my stress until I can have another way to make it go away... though I think that my upcoming trip to Thailand will be a good start.
Cheers!
