Dear Friends,
My kiss has the power to enlarge the spleen/liver/whatever it is.
I guess that is one way to say I have mono. yeaaa idk how that happened. i can't even think of anyone i know that has mono that i could have gotten it from, but that's my luck. so I woke up xmas morning at like 5 with a 102 fever and feeling absoultely awful. I couldn't go see the otherside of the family but at least I already saw my favorite half(oppss i don't think you are suppose to have one) on xmas eve. So I was suppose to be back at SMC on Dec. 26 for bball but I still had a really high fever so I didn't go back. And, well, I'm still not back. As much as I complain about a short stay at home. I really felt bad about not going back when the rest of the team had to and i actually really WANTED to go back....i know, who would have thought. So before i went to the doctor when i found out i have mono, my fever broke for a few hours and I almost drove to albany and met up with the bus on the way to the philly games. good thing I didn't. actually, good thing my mom didn't let me because my fever went right back up to 101 in a few hours - that's when we decided i'd had a fever for like 4/5 days and I should see the doc. that was a really REALLY good decision. bc i got blood work (which i was really brave for, i was quite proud of myself - who knows maybe i'll be able to give blood someday) but anyways bloodwork = i have mono = no contact sports for a least a month bc if i get hit in my adomenal (can't spell) region my spleen/liver/can't-remember-which will rupture!! and it would be emergency room and emergency surgery!! how scary is that...i almost went back and played bball without knowing i had mono and i could have easily gotten hit in the wrong place and yeaaa that's freaky. i guess we aren't as totally young and invincible as we think, well as i think.
So with the extra week I've had...i've gone out once, literally. i just don't feel like moving. it's kinda weird. but the time i went out it was for a really nice family dinner on new year's eve. the place was decorated really beautifully with xmas lights and decorations. and then afterwards i was really tired...not that i'm not use it. but it's new year's - there is no such thing as too tired on new year's but well it happened. I watched the ball drop and decided that when i get older and have connections i want to party in one of those cool rooms with the live performances in nyc on new years. you guys are all invited of course. I really like the phone call of course!! after that some person also texted me happy new years...was it anyone reading this? bc idk who it is and i always like to know and i was too embarassed to ask whoever it was who they were bc they might think it's rude or be offended i don't have their number? idk well it is an 802 area code so i really couldn't think of how it was. the only person i talk to with that area code is that boy i like and it wasn't his number unlesss he got a new one. unlikely though. i did check but it wouldn't be him bc ohh wait he never called me back after i think i offended him by saying he shouldn't come to my game, but what i really meant was i'm leaving right after and it is a 4.5 drive and i don't necessarily want to introduce you to my mom even though it prob wouldn't have been awkward at all actually. whateve. i'm bad at getting/saying what i want/mean. soooooo is it weird that I always like to know who calls/texts? my friends from home don't pick up a lot when they don't know who it is and let them leave a message bc they think it might be some creepy person...well, in my one friends case it was this one alumni guy that randomly friended her on facebook, but still that is an unusual case. maybe i should have asked who it was. ohh well it's too late now...yea that is about how interesting my life is....i sleep/eat/rest/ but ohh i did learn to knit!! I read a book and my mom helped me. Now that I know how to do it, i'm not sure if i want to take the time/effort to actually make something, but we'll see. i should read. that would involve going to the library or bookstore. i don't even know for sure what i'd read or how much longer I'll stay home before going back to school.
So I still haven't seen all my friends here and i've been here an extra week and my friend sara is going abroad. i need to arrange that but i don't know how i'll feel but i guess i could just stay out for a little while. ohhh and the guy from work over the summer that turned crazy this semester left me a facebook wall post asking when we'll hang out and i dont' really know what to say back to that and if i should mention the mono. i feel like it is something to avoid telling ppl. ohhh btw my glands are swollen. i don't like it. but it is an excuse to eat smoothies (which my wonderful mother just got for me) and ice cream.
These are the times I wish I had that really cute/perfect guy to come over and make me soup and take care of me....but for now I have my mom and she is doing quite a good job :)
btw, I really like beyonce's song irreplaceable but i like a lot of songs including songs my sister basically makes me listen to until I like.
hmmmmmmmmmm i wonder if any of this actually makes sense to anyone besides me. i was sort of rambling. well i'm going to go have a popsicle. well, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!!!!! (speaking of which, note to self: still need to make resolutions)
