i'm horribly ill on my second Friday off ever at Walmart (the first being the weekend before my birthday) after over a year of working for them.
being congested all week,
i became lightheaded today while maneuvering on the interstate in lunch hour traffic, and proceeded to sneeze blood.
once home my body temperature quickly began to decrease.
interestingly i was sweltering at the same time.
i drank cold orange juice to soothe myself, which only gave me a persistent, painful "brain freeze" and uncontrollable chills. with these, i huddled, crying, under my blanket, aptly called the "Womb," and somehow passed out for 6 hours.
some fucking vacation.
living alone means that even while there's a hospital 20 yards from your apartment, there is really no way for you to receive help if you can't even stand up and walk to your phone.
living alone and having no friends means that when you miraculously wake-up, still dizzy, but craving hot soup and a light sandwich (example: from jason's deli) and acetaminophen.
well.
oh well.
so i'm preparing myself to drive in order to acquire these essentials.
i feel a bit better. i finally put some string lights on my back porch.
and am, perhaps, even motivated to clean my apartment,
and then enjoy the rest of my Free Day by showering and then lounging naked in my backyard while enjoying today's first meal.
because finally, it's that kind of weather.
