I have atomic ache.
Dear Body;
Please stop jerking me around. We don't have time for this- we have two jobs, and school, and class, and the band(s? I don't even know what's going on with the ocarinas right now), and this random sickness/migraine/insomnia thing is not helping. Is there something you're not getting? I exercise you regularly, I spend more money on food than on anything but rent and car payments, I medicate you, I hydrate the hell out of you, I sleep to the detriment of doing normal, responsible adult things like laundry... what is going on? I only slept two hours last night, and now my head feels like someone's trying to compress a hole in the back of my skull. I know we're sore and bruised, but I feel that this is somewhat excessive. I have work today and class tonight, and let me just tell you, if I fall asleep driving back at ten tonight and die I am going to be SO PISSED AT YOU.
You know that phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face"? That's pretty much what's going on here. If I can't work, I can't feed you and we won't have anywhere to sleep. If I don't do well in school, I won't be able to make more money later to pay for the dental work and glasses and medical stuff you need. I know you don't like this whole "sitting for eight hours a day" thing, but I'm TRYING to get us out of it. Likewise, the "eight hours of rapid squats, with some breaks" situation is only temporary, so the less we mess it up the better. And the knees? The knees are just spiteful. You know we can't fix the knees. We have been trying to fix the knees for over twenty years and nothing has worked. Let up on the knees. (Knees no longer looks like a word to me. I hope you're happy.)
Oh, what, now we're nauseous, too? This is so not on, body. We are NOT wasting this perfectly good steak and egg burrito. You know it's going to be tasty! Why are you so contrary?
Just... think about what I've said, okay? I'll get back with you later.
-Me.
