SICK--
So let's see. These past few days have been painful. I've contracted some illness that's leaving my tonsils&uvula swollen as well making swallowing difficult to do. I stayed home for the first time and wrecked my streak of perfect attendance. I barely got any sleep due to the throbbing pain in my throat. I went to the doctor's and they did a throat culture, so now we have to wait 24-48 hours for any signs of strep throat. I'm impatient because all these over-the-counter medications are doing nothing for the pain.
I missed so many things today. School, mostly; I'm really looking forward to the make-up work spread out for me. I also missed after-school practice for Academic Decathlon. I know Ms. McKnight will understand, but I haven't been working since all I did was sleep most of the day away. I didn't get to see my novio (boyfriend in Spanish) since I missed school. I can't even talk to him on the phone; this throat is getting in the way of our time. I also miss my smile. Today I've just been moping and keeping my mouth closed as I have been drooling excessively. I have been so miserable and I am trying so hard not to wreck my throat with crying and whatnot so a smile never came to my lips today at all. I need something to smile about.
This is random, but do you remember the daruma doll I planned on creating? I never did put the pieces together, but the wish I had in mind, it already came true on January the 2nd. So I pretty much could've filled in the other eye by now. Hooray!
And another random, I recognized 'The Postal Service' playing as background music in a UPS commercial just now.
Haha.
