(no subject)
For some reason, at approximately (I left my cell phone at home, and forgot that clocks are even available) 3:30 P.M. today I suddenly fell ill.
As I was walking out of my study session at the library with Joe and Allison towards the Student Union, everything started to go awry in my body; the feeling of misfired nerves and everything swelling up washed over me like a wave at Hanalei bay.
My throat got sore,
My skin and head felt warm like they were wrapped in a blanket,
My head started to swim, and throb a little,
My body within the skin chilled to where I felt like I'd been outside all day with no clothing,
And my bones ached.
And I can certifiably say, after years of both passive and aggressive martial arts, I know when it's my bones themselves aching.
I carried on as normal, but the walk from the union (where I departed from my friends) to the parking lot almost felt like a hallucination of some kind. It hurt to hear people talking, every color in view became vibrant, and again my bones ached. I cannot emphasis this feeling enough. Almost like being punched in the stomach, but along the length of every limb, inside my torso, and in my head. Just such an intense feeling of cold, and aching.
Even now I'm trying not to touch myself (har har), as even closing my hands into a fist makes it feel like I'm clenching my hands in an ice bath after punching a brick wall.
I suspect one of two things may have happened, but I'm going to stick with the likeliness that my schoolmate Joe got me sick. He was coughing during our studies and class, his eyes were shot, and his skin pale. He's an odd one, too. Maybe I'll talk about him some time.
I also found out today that Allison is turning 22, and had her child in high school.
The more you know, I suppose.
I'll write more later.
For now, I'm going to take my two sweaters, two sweatpants, two pairs of socks, one pair of underwear, and two cats, and go curl up in bed to work up a sweat. And drink some water, and eat some soup.
EDIT : AND I'm going to take medicine.
Fuck. I hope I can sleep tonight.
