Diagnosis: Obvious

Today's blog is brought to you by Jake's brand new laptop and White House Foods, Inc

I love juice. Juice is the win. Mostly apple juice. I consider myself an apple juice connoisseur (White House brand "100% Apple Juice (no sugar added)" is the best). I drink it most everyday, but if there isn't any I'll have a glass of orange juice. This must have built up my immune system quite a bit. That is a lot of vitamins.
But being on campus now and not having a refrigerator, i have no access to the apple juice i crave. And the only place i could get it, the wag, is out of stock most everyday. And wag orange juice is a joke.
Most likely due to the above problem, I haven't been feeling well since last Thursday. I told my mom and as every good mother would, she told me to go down to the doctor on campus. Me being a man, I put this off for a few days. I was busy, don't judge me.
Well today i finally got around to the doctor's office. I sat in the waiting room, filled out some forms, and about 20min later, i was taken back to see the nurse. The nurse explained this year's fad of sickness. It was very similar to what i have.
She took my blood pressure. "Almost high, but normal for someone who is sick"
I stepped on the scales to find my weight.
No response from the nurse.
I was taken to see the actual doctor and he asked me the usual questions and checked my newly made chart that nurse gave him. "Your blood pressure is a little high, but that's normal for someone who is sick."
i think there is a script that they read from.
"225? You are a little big for your age."
I'm aware.
Does he think that this was the reason i came in?
"Doc, i feel fat. Can you weigh me?"
Anyway, he gave me some Mucinex, and i was on my way, feeling worse than i did on the way in.
I have always hated the Mucinex commercials.
Not because it's gross, or anything, but because i feel bad for that blob.
I know that he is annoying, but he is homeless at the end of every episode.

Well, there you go.

  1. Well Jake, I won't comment on the blood pressure or the weight thing, because I think you know what that comment would be. However, if your mother is as good as you say, she would have gotten you a refrigerator for your juice, then you would not be sick
