Uggghhhh...

Man, I just don't think this weekend could get much worse. I was hoping that Friday night would make my crappy week better, and it did, for a while, and continued to in some aspects, but I have to say I never thought you could get food poisoning from broccoli. But apparently you can since that's the only thing in common between what James and I ate, aside from rice which definitely wouldn't be it, and we both got sick.

Then on top of that, my asthma-like symptoms I started exhibiting on Thursday turned really nasty yesterday when my nose started acting like I was having an allergic reaction. All of this time I've just kept hoping I'm not really *sick*, just having some issues, but it's getting harder to keep that up. Now I have a lot of congestion and I generally feel awful. I don't own a thermometer and I forgot to buy one at Wal-Mart, but I'm pretty sure I'm running a fever from the way I feel. It's 23 degrees outside though, I look terrible, and I don't think I should be outside anyway, so I guess I'm going to live without a thermometer. And make due with toilet paper when I run out of tissues like I'm about to.

God this sucks...I don't think my immune system can take much more. And on top of this my monthly friend keeps trying to come visit, but I think my body is so busy with everything else that it's having some trouble getting that accomplished. Not to mention that it's just a really bad combination to be sick and have that at the same time. :(

I've still been somewhat productive though, by watching my Joan of Arcadia DVDs and figuring out what I'm going to write for my paper that's due next Monday on the technical and aesthetic aspects of the show. I know I'm going to write about the God characters, but the idea keeps evolving. Originally I thought it would be good to write about costuming them as "common people" as an illustration that God is everywhere, but now after watching some of the special features on the DVD I'm starting to think it might be better to talk about how the Gods are all written as one character, but they each have their own individual aspects as well that help get the message across to Joan in whatever format she may need it at the time. The character is the same, but the delivery changes based on "who" God is at the moment.

I'm just spending the day mostly in bed today I think...hopefully I won't feel quite so crappy tomorrow. I think I'm going to go ahead and cancel my office hours though as I'm sure no one would want to be around me anyhow. I guess I'll just wait and see on whether I'm going to go to class...except I don't have a choice but to go show a DVD to Dr. Becker's class tomorrow night. Which is 5 minutes after my 2nd class. So it's kind of hard to skip class and then show up to run the DVD. :( Blah...I don't know what to do.
