Ain't this a kick in the pants?

You know how everybody has been getting a little bit sick lately, but not like deathly ill? Well, me too. Except mine is going on 4 days now, whereas everyone else seems to be well in a day or 2. And I seem to feel way worse than anyone else has. I just feel totally wiped out and lethargic and fuzzy and lousy. Now, I get deathly ill 2 or 3 times a year--the whole can't-breathe, can't-talk, leaking-face, week-and-a-half-long misery that usually warrants a doctor's visit, prescription pills, and a whole lot of nasal spray. That's not what this is. I'm a tiny bit stuffy, but it's not unbearable. My throat's a tiny bit sore, but I can live with it. Mostly, I just feel like a steaming pile of crap. I can barely make myself get out of bed, I'm pretty sure I'm running fevers, and I have that fuzzy feeling like I'm in a dream. So I've been talking with my mother and we can only really figure one thing: when I went to the dermatologist for my whole leg issue (I sound like I'm 80, what with all my physical ailments), she prescribed these 2 medications. And one of them, she told me, may have the possible side effect of making me feel like I have the flu. It does that sometimes with young, otherwise fairly healthy people. So I think that, in trying to make myself better in one aspect, I have also given myself the fake flu. Imitation flu. Synthetic flu. It sucks because there really isn't anything I can do about it. I just have to wait it out. So who knows how long I'll feel like this? Suck. All I want to do is lie in bed, but I have so much work to do.

The Office starts on Thursday, and I am pretty freaking pumped about that. And Grey's Anatomy. They come on at the same time, but--thank goodness--I can watch Grey's online the next day.

So yeah. I have a lot of work and a lot of sick and the two don't mix well, so your prayers would be much appreciated.
