UGH!! Today is the first day I've been able to function and I must admit, not very well. I've had the worst summer head cold one could ever have paired with homesickness. Maybe that's why I'm always sick up here. Immune system failing me because I want to be home. I have taken care of MYSELF this time around in this sickness. It's been upsetting in some ways and nice in others knowing that I'm capable of doing so. I prevented myself from dehydration and a trip to the ER. That doesn't mean I don't want to be babied when I'm weakened by sickness. That's why it would be so nice to get home. To mom and dad and be in a comfortable environment. Up here it's so weird and it's worse when you're sick. Since feeling near death I have had time to think and I've decided that while it's hard to stay up here, I couldn't afford to move to Kentucky. Hopefully in a year I'll be outta this shit town and either on my own or with someone who will actually take care of me.
I've been doing a lot of journaling lately. It's been nice and it's made me feel better, but now I need nothing more than my best friends and old country roads.
