In retrospect, I should have known it would happen. I've given blood many times before, and I always black out. Or come super close to blacking out. But who would've thought that several vials of blood would cause me to black out ( Read more... )

Ed. Note: Originally written for my creative writing class, although I don't find this to be all that creative.I’m prone to injuries. There’s no other way to explain it. I’ll discover bruises on my arms and legs that I didn’t see a week before, and I have no idea how they got there. If I was married, lived with my boyfriend, or if I had seen him ( Read more... )

Evidently I'm allergic. To something. But I have no clue what's causing my allergic reaction. Sunday morning I noticed red dots on my upper chest. I thought it was weird, but since I was scrambling to get to church on time I didn't have time to worry about them. Monday morning they were still there. I examined them closely. They reminded me ( Read more... )

Dear (Presumably) Drunk Serenading Man,

All girls like to be serenaded, but the assumption is that you're our lover or trying to be or you're a singer hired by our lover. You, on the other hand, just thought it'd be a good idea to sing Three Days Grace's Animal I Have Become at the top of your lungs. You're not a good singer. Get over yourself ( Read more... )

I am now the "proud" owner of dark, tinted, material that slides between my glasses and my eyes. The material acts like sunglasses, since I don't have sunglasses that attach to my glasses. You might be saying to yourself, "I didn't know she wore glasses," and you'd be right. I don't normally wear glasses. But, my eye started really bothering me ( Read more... )

I've been noticing signs that indicate I have a cold. I wake up slightly congested, my throat itches, etc. This morning I woke up and realized, the cold is almost here. Sigh...just what I need. Being stressed and not getting quality sleep really does have an effect on your health. Just an FYI ( Read more... )

Being sick sucks. Yes, I know I'm stating the obvious, but I can't help it. I'm tired and doped up on meds. I've spent a lot of time on the couch this week. I've taken naps mid-afternoon, slept till 10, and gone to bed early. I've downed half a bottle of orange juice in two days. I've located two different kinds of cold meds in my house, made ( Read more... )

My left ankle is hurting now. It's actually pretty normal for one leg to start acting up once it realizes that the other one is, too. I wore tennis shoes to work today. I hoped that my feet would appreciate the break from heels. I guess I'll have to start icing my legs and take Ibuprofen until I figure out what's triggering this. With my luck ( Read more... )

Evidently I messed up my right ankle. I'm not really sure when I did it, or what I did to it, but I went to cross my ankles in church today and it hurt. I figured I was imagining it, so I did it again. Nope, same response. So I crossed my ankles the other way (I went right first, then left) and it was still uncomfortable. I haven't a clue what ( Read more... )

Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day.

I think I found a new quote that sums up my thoughts on life and sleep! Here are some random points that I'll throw together and call a post. I'm feeling lazy.

• Mary's home!
• I'm starting to get sick. I'm doped up on meds at the moment, but just ( Read more... )
