The Purple Bird's Lament (or, let me sing the blues)
Ok, so... it's just not my day... or, not my week? Not my season?
Started out a few days ago, when my lungs hurt when air moved trough it! (sorta hard to avoid! But I tried taking shallow and slow breaths, it helped, somewhat) Then I started freezing, even when it was warm, as if I was getting a fever. (which I didn't actually get for the first two days of this feeling, but it got started eventually) Then gradually coughing more and more (luckily, the hurting stopped a day or so after the coughing began... it was pretty ouchy) until I'm at this point coughing up thick annoying phlegm until I get a blood taste in my mouth (but no actual blood, thankfully, also no vomiting, yay!)
So I decided I really wanted a nice hot bath tonight, to cure myself a wee bit... but before I got around to that, speaking of blood, my period sets in, of course!
So apart from all of the above I'm also cramping and feeling generally icky, looking forward to tomorrow, when I traditionally feel particularly cranky, and on thursday I have my final exam in the math and didactics course I've spent this fall on!
The test lasts all day, so I want to safe and wear one of the thicker pads, because few things seems as nasty now as sitting there bleeding on the chair for half the exam (yay! TMI!) but I have only two of those left, and I don't want to go to the store... because it's snowy and cold and I'm sick!!
This body fails, can I trade it in, please?!?
