On Friday, I woke up extremely sick. My throat was killing me, I could barely talk, my body was exhausted, I could hardly move or walk, I had a tremendous fever, and I couldn't force myself awake until after 5pm. When I finally did wake up, my body was heated up, and for some reason my legs hurt. For the past few days, in fact, I've been entirely exhausted, unable to move, and hardly able to speak. Today I slept all day (until 6pm), and anytime I wanted to get water from the water fountain outside I'd have stop and sit for 5 to 10 minutes before standing up again. The smallest things, like putting on a sweater, further exhausted me. I don't know why I got sick, I'm sure it's because I gave blood the day before and it decreased my immunity system. Today I feel a little better; a friend of mine, Kate, slept over last night and took care of me (and I was BURNING UP), and today she helped me buy lots of soup, because the Cafe didn't have shit for a sick person with an aching throat... For some reason, EVERYONE could tell that I was horribly sick; maybe it was because my hair was disheveled (which is unusual for me), my face looked drained, and I was walking turtlishly slow wrapped in a blanket all day long (meaning meal times).
I think I'm getting a little better, but I miss my mom's Black Bean Vegetable Soup...sigh, it would make me feel ten times better at the moment.
