Shredded

My throat is killing me. I've been feeling ill since last Tuesday. I've tried to sleep it off but it's not working. I'm debating calling in sick tomorrow for work. What is more important: my health or making money? Then again a better question is whether or not my health is dependent on me making money.
I usually assume that any illness I get can be defeated with sleep and orange juice. I'm 27 years old, and so far this theory has worked pretty much every time. I imagine that it will eventually fail. I hate going to the doctor and paying him $100 to tell me to sleep and drink orange juice. People like to pay for peace of mind. My idea of peace of mind is not losing my money.
