sleepless in tucson

Dear Immune System,

I know what I put you through.  I am seeped in a sea of nursing textbooks, I get what happens when you're bombed with the joys of stress.  I realize that I'm not getting a hell of a lot of sleep, that I run around (literal running and workload-running) like a crazy person at all hours, that my diet as of late has been the shittiest it's been since before last May.  I am aware of the fact that people around me (i.e. clinical friend, sister, the billion other people I associate with on a regular basis) are sick.  I get it.  Odds aren't great.  But, I've already been through two colds in December and January/February, and I'd like to skip March.  As of 5:00 tomorrow, my critical care rotation is over, resulting in extra sleep and less stress.  You can't just make it until then?  Do we really have to endure another go-around?  Really?

Peace out,
Lindsay

Dear Legs and Hip,

I'm sorry for treating you like crap lately.  You know me- I get over zealous and I've overworked you.  Seven miles before a weekend of marching band fun apparently was a bad idea, because you couldn't even get me through two miles today without making me cry.  But, I want to get going again- I missed running this weekend.  How much longer do you need?  If I let it go for too long, I'll start to like my couch more.

Love always,
Lindsay

Dear Paper,

Please die.
