Icky
So, over this last week I’ve been getting sicker and sicker. Have been developing a sore throat since about Tuesday, which came to its conclusion yesterday when I lost the ability to speak after school. Friday I woke up with a really bad sore throat but decided to push on with the day because I was going to an Elementary school and the little ones get super excited when I turn up. I basically got to the end of the day, after 4 very loud, energetic classes and my throat felt like sand paper. Went home, jumped in the shower and headed to the drug store. Once home I took meds and proceeded to pass out in my chair at about 7:30pm. This was without dinner. I woke up at about 10:30pm took more meds and headed to bed. Next thing I know it’s 9:00am.
I’m still ill, but I’ve been drugged up all day and will continue to be drugged up for the rest of the weekend.
Oh, and it was my birthday last weekend. Saturday was a blast - dinner, pool, table tennis and karaoke. Sunday was good as well if a little bit over the top for me. Shiori had prepared “make it yourself sushi” which was a bit too fiddly for my tastes for a birthday meal. Some of the presents… completely missed the mark. I didn’t complain because they’d clearly put effort into the presents. While Japan has made me more girly, I’m not into the whole sparkly, gem covered teddy bear thing. Or necklaces. Or overly cute girly stuff. So I wasn’t thrilled about a few of the gifts. But like I said. I kept my mouth shut and just sat there and nodded and agreed that yes, it was very pretty.
Other stuff can maybe wait until tomorrow when I can think clearly.
