It's pathetic when you drown your sorrows in a bowl of rainbow sherbet.. at least three times a day. Yeah, that's how I'm feeling right now, pathetic. I don't want to complain, but I must in order to feel somewhat better. If you don't wanna read it, then don't.. I'm not asking for sympathy.
For those of you who have said, "Ooh I want mono, then I can sleep all day!".. I wouldn't pray too hard for it. I thought I would love the idea of sleeping all the time, and doing nothing. But being the person I am, it's pretty depressing. It's challenging at times to stay awake and focused. I can go to sleep for probably an hour and a half or better, be awake for a half hour and go back to sleep. There are times when I wake up and don't feel like I've slept at all. But the killer is my throat. It's beginning to really hurt. It's like strep throat, only about 10 times worse. Everything is swollen and sore, ick. Nothing really eases the pain either. I take three ibuprofen or tylenol at a time, and I don't feel any better. I'm supposed to drink lots of liquids.. ok that's cool, since I can barely swallow. I think if it keeps progressing like this, I won't be able to swallow. I'm to the point where I may need the ol' doc to give me something for it. Mom keeps yelling at me to gargle with warm salt water... I damn near vomit. That stuff is nasty. How am I supposed to gargle it, if I can't keep from gagging?
School is school.. I went to school yesterday so that I don't have a ton of homework to make up, but I only went for about two hours. Exams are coming up though, so I need to go. Mock trial and drama.. can't go to either, seeing as though I'm not in school long enough. Mrs. Sobieski wants me to drop one or the other. No one really asked her what she thinks. I don't know, this is just a really bad time for mono.. not that any time is good.
To top it all off, I haven't seen Will since Sunday I believe.. yeah I know, today is Friday. However, I can't say that I blame him.. no one really wants to be around someone who has mono. I don't know, I guess I'm just really sad right now. Nothing is going my way. Yes, I know this sounds like a huge pity party, and take it as you will, but I needed to get this off my mind.
Correction.. Mom just called the doctor, there's a good chance I will not be in work or school for a while. I'm supposed to gargle with warm salt water every half hour, drink TONS of liquids, and rest a lot. GRRRRRR.. I'm so effing sick of this. But I've decided I gotta get rid of this, so I'll be doing a lot of gargling, drinking, and resting.
