So I'm a little ill today. I've tried everything, drinking loads, eating loads, multivits, iron, Vit C, tea, coffee, sleeping, laughing, showering.
Which has brought me to the conclusion that after all this effort, the fact I still feel like lying down still every 5 minutes to catch my breath could mean I am actually ill. The minute I get a job. Thank fuck I don't start till Tuesday.
It's been a harder than necessary week. However I did get a job, as previously mentioned. I now work 4 days on, 4 days off on a shift pattern that looks quite like thus:
4am-4pm x 2
10am-10pm x 2
LOVELY. Well at least there's no night shifts as such. I can now pay off my debts, get a lovely little housey for me and rabbit and anyone else who's coming along and not have to suffer the wrath of parents who still insist that silence from my room when I am within it means I am 'getting up to something'....not just studying, as I have been several times this day, when they have burst in, inappropriately and uninvited. If you don't act like a child then you won't be treated like one. If you're treated like a child then eventually you will come to act like one again. One day they'll appear to find me setting fire to the curtains. That'll learn them!
I've learned a hell of a lot about MS today, and biological psychology. It might be too little, too late, but it was nice to see all those obscure words I read over and over in a book finally floating above a diagram of what they actually are on youtube.
I haven't slept well all week and it has such an effect on my brain. I feel muggy and unreal. A pulse has been throbbing through my head all day. It's that pathetic 'I feel ill', without any sympathy-inducing symptoms, such as throwing up or collapsing every so often. Weak!
