portland rocks, i'm sick
i'm back from portland. it was a great trip. tomorrow, or sometime soon, i will provide a very long update about it. i brought a paper journal so i could record the basics and not forget everything. i had a great time, buit i'm really happy to be back with my kitty-baby. i missed him so much! i was calling or texting home nearly every day to check on him. i was planing on updating saying "i'm back in town, everyone come love me now and hang out!" but instead i get to say "i'm back in town, and i'm really sick." yesterday was terrible! today its bearable, but still annoying. i guess i should be thanking my awesome immune system that i only had one day of hell, but it still sucks. yesterday i woke up with a sore throat, but figured it would go away and downed a couple glasses of orange juice. it got worse throughout the day, and a headache and general bodily soreness. by 5 pm, it had progressed to that stage where you can't do anything, because even simple concentration is interrupted with constant thoughts of "i feel like hell" and other yuckyness. i was planing on working extra when i got back, but its all i can do to go to work at my scheduled times, and forget adding hours. hopefully i will make a speedy recovery!
