Being sick for the entire summer is the worst. For those that don't know, I have Ulcerative Colitis, it's not a life-threatening disease or anything, but it is something I'll have for life, and nothing I did caused it, approximately one in six hundred americans just have it, and there really is no rhyme or reason as to why. Basically though, I have to go to the bathroom a lot, and that sucks. It also means my body isn't getting very much nutrition from the food I eat. This causes me to have very little energy. If I do go out an do something, I feel even more exhausted the next day. I'm on some medication to try and get things straightened out, but this medication has some side effects. The biggest one is that I have trouble sleeping, which was already an issue before, but now it's very difficult. I get 1-5 hours of interrupted sleep a night, which makes me feel even more tired.

All of this means I really haven't been able to work all summer, which sucks because I was hoping to bank a decent amount over the summer. It also means I really haven't been able to go out much. The few nights I have gone out usually lead to some not so great following days. I've basically been stuck in my house most of the summer, which is a very miserable thing. You don't realize how much you'd rather being doing anything until you pretty much spend all your days around your house, alone. It's like house arrest with conjugal visits. Also, I've been spending a lot of time playing computer games, because I have nothing else to do, except my computer just totally shit the bed, and I haven't been working, so I can't really buy a new one now.

Anyway, I'm just ranting because I'm going nuts. Feel like shit now and I'm stuck in the house with nothing to do. If you've ever got afternoons off, drop me a line. I really need to get out some more.
