Week from Hell
To say it's been a rough week would be a slight understatement. My body and mind are shot, and if it weren't for my close friends I know I wouldn't have made it through in one piece.
I got food poisioning on tuesday, and spent the rest of that night vomitting and various other activities that come along with food poisioning that I'd rather not elaborate on right now. Threw up on the side of Matt's car, in the hallway of Ashley, Jared, and Nicole's, and a couple other places, though a majority of them ended up in a toilet. So I spent Wednesday at my house, watching tv and trying not to think of anything fried because jus the thought of fried food made me nauseous and still does. Katesia took care of my, and then handed me off to my parents, who weren't as ably equiped, but did their job nonethless. So I wake up Thursday, having not eaten in 48 hours, call Kim and let her know I'm not goign to be in class, come to find out our portfolio is due, and I'm about 3 projects from having mine finished, so I start working on them, get two finished and figure i can just talk my way out of an F considering I have the food poisioning on my side. On my way to school however my spare tire, which hangs underneath the bed of my truck snaps off its bracket and drags along the ground, definitely not safe to drive with so I stop at a gas station and begin my 2 hour quest to fix it. So long story short, it's been a rough few days, but through out it all I'm struck by how kind some people have been to me, and i really just want to thank them
Matt- Thank you so much for not giving a shit as i literally vommitted the entire contents of my stomach on the side of your car, and thank you for the calls everyday to see how I was feeling, you truly are an amazing friend.
Emilie- You have alot going on in your life right now, but you have still taken the time to check up on me, ask how I was, and offer kind words, it meant alot to me.
Katesia- Thank you for spending the few hours between jobs at my house babying me, bringing me cold washclothes, buying me pediasure(that shit works wonders, highly recomend it), and making sure that I was comfortable, your kindness and careing nature is priceless.
Nicole, Jared, and Ashley- Thank you for letting me stay at your house and vomitt just about everywhere I could manage, it was a rough night, but I made it through ok. Hope there wasn't too much to clean up. All three of you call me through out the day, and it's very comforting to know yall care so much even though we've really only been friends for a short while.
Kim- thank you SO FREAKING much for A) not letting me get the best of me and procrastinating more than already and B) communicating with our teacher for me while I was trying to deal with all of the problems thrown my way. thank you so much
Dude in the red chevy- thanks for trying so hard to inform me that my tire was hanging, I'm sure if I had eaten in the past 48 hours and wasn't completely oblivious to what was going on around me I'd have stopped sooner and you wouldn't have had to look like such a reckless driver
and of course the one person that didn't help at all but made it worse:
plumber guy at the gas station i stopped at- thank you for saying "hey man looks like your tire is dragging" as I was on the ground, struggling with the damn thing, trying to fix it up that I could drive to home depot, buy bolt cutters and get the damn thing off. You saw me pull up and struggle with it for at least 30 minutes before finally securing it, Next time instead of just making a stupid comment at the end of my struggle either get it over with at the beginnning, help me out, or just shut your mouth.
