I hate being sick - it feels like such a waste of time. First of all, I canNOT afford to miss much more work, at all. Second of all, if I'm going to be missing work anyways, it better be for a fun day, not a sick day.
You know that feeling, when you are drinking something, and you laugh so hard that you get liquid up your nose, and it stings like a bitch? My nose has felt like that for 48 hours now. I'm also losing my voice, and developing a cough. Also, my head feels all slow and fuzzy, like someone's stuffed it with cotton. Lastly, I have the worst cramps of my life, which is just like salt on the wounds of the sick.
To make these past two days not a total waste, I've been trying to be slightly productive - I've done a load of laundry, swept the floor, done some dishes. Mostly though, I've just done lazy sick things: I took a hot bath, have drank my body weight in tea, and watched about 8 episodes of Buffy.
All I can say is I'd better be better by tomorrow - I have a long weekend coming up. Tomorrow I work a 9 hour shift, then am meeting my roommate and Mika for pool, because, apparently, what better way to end a 3 month silence by asking my roommate to ask me to meet you for pool rather than actually having a talk with me? Blarg. Be that as it may, I then work 9.5 hours Saturday, then have Guerilla Gay-Fare that night, as well as a friend's band performing at Babylon. Sunday, I work 7 hours, then have dinner with my grandparents. I'm getting tired just thinking about it...
