Bronchitis
So I've had bronchitis for two weeks now, apparently a complication of swine flu. I'm on antibiotics and a prescription inhaler. It's very nearly cleared up now, though there's still some slight wheezing and occasional coughing fits.
It was not a very good two weeks. My muscles have atrophied (though my diaphragm is in excellent shape, I must say) and I'm more tired than usual. I've neglected my studying, my job search, my social life, and various projects I've been working on. Now that I'm starting to feel better, I really want to jump back into things.
I saw Allison (my oldest friend, whom I've known since 1st grade) this weekend, and it was wonderful. I miss her so much. I went rollerskating for the first time Monday, and I'm very bruised and sore-but I still wish I could do it again right now.
I want to practice some painting techniques (namely those used by classical oil painters, though I'll have to do it with acrylic). I want to get physically stronger, especially after spending two weeks in bed. I want to finish up with the GRE.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by all there is to do and by how much time I've lost. This might just be the longest I've ever been sick; even mono took me out of commission for only about a week.
