I hate this time of year, I really do
It's been a while since I last posted so I think I'll let you know how things have been going lately. By the way, it's not well.
Everything was more or less fine until Friday. Friday we got our MMR vaccines. Apparently Mumps is going around the Universities in our province. I hear that it's made it to the U of A. The flow between that institution and my own is almost constant. It would be WAY too easy for it to get here. So, as much as I hate needles I went and got the shot.
Now we all made plans to go and get the shots together. I'm not the only person in our group who has a needle thing so it was nice to be able to make use of the support network. However, when the time came to get the actual needle it all went to hell.
I ran into L!Mike at the bottom of the stairs and he was with his girlfriend Tracy and she apparently had class. But he said goodbye to her and took me to where the needles were being given. Apparently Zakhiyya had already gotten her shot and she had reacted really badly. Apparently she fainted four times. Janet was with her watching over her. Mike put me in the line and said he was going to go relieve Janet of Zakhiyya watch. So I stood in line waiting for Janet for like 15 minutes. Then Kris shows up and says that Janet is in line with her boyfriend Cody. I send him back telling him to go get Janet. He comes back and says that Janet isn't coming but he'll stay with me. I would have been better on my own. Kris could tell I was a little nervous so instead he scared me even more. Right before I went in to get my needle he had me huddled against the wall and almost in tears. The nurses were sneaky about giving me my needle. When one of them got my attention to ask me something the other one stuck me. XDD That was kind of funny. Then I went into the recovery room. If anyone was going to react badly it would be within the first fifteen minutes so they kept us under observation until then.
Naturally, I was one of the ones with a negative reaction. It went like this: first it was sore around the area where I got my shot, which is totally normal. But then I got that pins and needles feeling you get when your arm is waking up after you've cut off the circulation by sleeping on it all night. Then it started to feel hot and like it weighed more than it should. Then I lost feeling in my arm all together. Then I started to get a headache like my brain was too big for my skull and I started to feel lightheaded. So I got the attention of a nurse and they took me into the back of the room to keep a closer eye on me. This is the point where Kris left the room because his time was up and of course why should he bother to keep an eye on me? D:
So I lied down on a mat at the foot of a nurse for like an hour. It was kind of brutal the room was tilty. I had a cold wet cloth on my forehead and the pressure in my head went away when I wasn't sitting up. But I was there for like an hour wondering where everyone was and why no one had come to check on me. I was ill and I think my brain wasn't working very well because I felt very lonely. It's retarded. I wasn't without friends for all that long. It shouldn't bother me as much as it did.
Then I went back into the Lounge and got very angry at everyone. Janet felt very bad and when she hugged me to say how sorry she was I just broke down and cried for what felt like ever. It was really pathetic doing that in front of everyone. I really wasn't feeling all that well still when the nurses let me out under instructions to make sure I kept an eye on how I was feeling in case I needed to go back. I don't like to cry in front of people.
It turns out that the reason that Janet didn't stick around after her needle was because she had class right after. She probably would have showed up to check on me if I had been gone another ten minutes. If I had my cell phone with me I could have called someone but I didn't so it's partially my fault I guess. No one knew where I was. The only person I am really still mad at is Kris. He has really no excuse.
Then Nathan and Cianna showed up. I had a fight with Nathan because he said a bunch of shit about Catherine kicking Cianna out being illegal. Both of them are more or less happy with the arrangement. Frankly, it's none of Nathan's business. Apparently I was feeling a global lack of emotional inhibitions because I chewed him out for it. Whatever, the stupid arrogant prick deserved it.
Then we played Uno for a few hours. That was fun. I am so good at Uno when I am being ruthless. Then it was time for club and I had to deal with one of the members throwing a hissyfit because the guys playing guitar hero were driving him up the wall. Then Mike showed up and we played Dungeons and Dragons. I was apparently rather ruthless again. It's usually once every few weeks that I kill something. This time I killed four, and one of them was a cleric that was at least 3 levels higher than me. I was a right bitch. >D
Then when I went to go home I realized that I somehow over the course of the day lost all of my math stuff. Yeah, that sucked. My notes, textbook everything. The final in that course is on Wednesday and I haven't studied for it yet. I am SO screwed.
Yesterday I had to skip my Godmother's Christmas bash because I was helping Cianna move. But that was ok. We had a lot of fun doing it somehow. Mostly because Mike and Taylor did all of the heavy lifting. Not all of it though. I woke up this morning and apparently I pulled something in my shoulder lifting that one box up the stairs. O_o It hurts, I'm not going to lie. But we went for sushi really quick before Mike and I had to run to the Dinner theater that Catherine's church put on. It was HILARIOUS. I had a lot of fun.
That's about all for an update.
Oh, Niki, things are fine between Mike and I now. We sorted it all out. <333 Thanks for worrying about me.
I'm off to go study now! Wish me luuuuuck!
