Her Smiling Eyes

Wednesday, February 23, 2005

Oh lordy! Yesterday I was feeling quite awful. I was a walking zombie at school, and it wasn't just because of school- I was under the weather my friends. That's right, the bug got me.

I woke up all dizzy and nauseous. My skin hurt and my body ached. My chest felt like it was full of dust or something...it was just congested like you wouldn't believe. I felt like I needed to cough but tried to refrain from doing so for fear a lung would come up or something to that extent. To most, those would be signs to stay home. But as for me, no dice...I was completely oblivious and thought I would brush it off.

Big mistake. I got to school and realized I was ever so slowly dying as each minute passed. The aches grew more potent, the skin more tender, and I was going from hot to cold throughout the day. Then, the migrane set in. Oh, the lights were so god damn bright! The only way the throbbing would dissipate was when I put my head down. When I got on the bus, I sunk in my seat and the sun went right into my eyes. I put my hands over my face to block the light and felt my forehead pulsing- sweet jesus I thought a vein was going to explode.

I got home and ran into bed. That was the only right thing I did all day. I slept for the remainder of the evening. I did talk on the phone for a while which was nice.

I didnt really sleep much last night because silly me decided to work out despite feeling weak and shitty that day. I dressed and did the body bar dealie with Rummel...aye de me. That bar is 12 pounds and any other day I would have been fine doing the work out. But yesterday of all days, I do it and I got so flipping sore. My shoulders were so sore and achey...they didn't hurt really- they were more so uncomfortable. It felt as though I needed to stretch, and I did but it didn't help. All night I was trying to get comfortable and lengthen my arms or stretch them out...ugh...nothing worked.

I ate some oatmeal this morning. Then, for once, I took some meds for my freaky body aches and cold/flu symptoms (yay all-in-one capsules!). I finally got some sleep and I slept from 10am to 4pm. I was refreshed when I got up. My ma made brownies (of all times...when I don't have an appetite...) I had a bowl of mac 'n' cheese for dinner and I've been drinking Sprite all day.

I don't think it's necessary for me to go to a doctor anymore. I am doing much better than I was yesterday. I am not 100% better but about 65% or so. It doesn't matter anyway, my mom won't take me to the doctor. So even if I did wish to go, I'd have to be sure I was absolutely dying before my mom would ever consider taking me to the doc. That's just how it works with my family. And according to her, I am doing fine- I just need to sleep it off and get lots of rest + liquids.

I will prolly have to go to school tomorrow. Damn. Oh well, just a few more days and then another weekend =)

Love to all and try to stay healthy! Eat lotsa oranges!
