(89) short day bliss

A shorter day.

i got to school and caught up on some blogs and a video and then headed over to class.

I got out of class at 10:30 and caught the bus home at 10:40. Wonderful timing.

I was happy to be home. In case you were wondering i didn't have any bus mishaps.

I made some phone calls and then watched recorded shows.

I took a nap.

i woke up an hour or so later but continued to rest and tried to not cough up my lungs. A pile of tissues grew on the table next to me. Ya, the sickness is hanging in there....i hate it.

At 6:30 i went to church.

So many other people are sick too.

I came home around 9:30.

Watched triple rush-a show about bike messengers (and these people are nuts)

Photo tidbits from today

What do you do with these items?

Make a small glass of lemonade

(87) The dileo

So here is the dileo AKA "the deal"

(Yes, i sometimes use really weird words and/or phrases.)

-Im sick, which really sucks

- I had two tests today, double suck

-I have a test tomorrow, yuck

Here is how my day went:

arrive at school

study

nap...couldn't keep my eyes open

study

test...not too bad

drink tea...caffeine, much needed 

study.... for hours

test-freak out...so many short answer questions...brain dead

go home

eat

take a lot of medicine...dayquil, advil, emergen-c, nasal spray

work...the meds worked...i was happy and with it

bad tips...nice people...bad tippers

home...11:35

alka seltzer cold plus

blog

study...last test this week

sleep...at some point

I hope everyone had a much better day than me....if not i am truly sorry, and have deep sympathy for whatever made it worse. 

(86) blaaaaahhhhhhh

Oh monday.....I think i will start off on a good note.

I had a very productive school day.

*finished a study guide-the test is tomorrow(tuesday)

*copied definitions for a test on wednesday

*read the articles for my 12:30 class

Its wonderful what can get done when i don't bring my laptop and bring my textbooks instead.

Now for what got done once i was home, or should i say what didn't get done.

*i made a late lunch

*took a nap

*woke up with a sore throat....grrrrrrr. Can i please shoot my body or at least get a new immune system

*watched tv

*spent too much time on the computer

*didn't do my study guide for CDFS 214-i have a test tomorrow

*didn't do the write up for my observation

*ate frequently...i was so munchy

As crummy as i am feeling about my lack of motivation this afternoon/evening, the good news is i still have plenty of time between classes tomorrow to study and get my assignment done. I just wish i didn't have a sore throat.

FYI: Zicam is going to be my new friend. I sure hope it works.

Little Pick Me Ups-

Things to make me feel better aside from medicine

*Only having 6 weeks, including finals, until summer.

*Remembering that i have less than 2 months until new zealand.

*Seeing pretty yellow daffodils on the mantle.

(68) I think i'm dying

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. The main issue with today's round of symptoms was that my nose was stuffy and constantly running. This is an awful thing to deal with when at home and is super embarrassing when at school. I was blowing my nose so much and i knew people kept looking at me like what is she doing here, just go home so you don't get the rest of us sick. Trust me, I really wanted to be home, and if i hadn't of already missed this set of classes earlier this week, i would have been home. Instead i got to spend my day feeling miserable at school.

I made it through my school day with the help of a special delivery from emily and her mom. They brought me cha for tea during my break between classes.

When i got home a new symptom of the day had worsened. I had a terrible cough. The one that is painful and doesn't stop. It made me short of breath and continue to wheeze. No amount of cough medicine or cough drops was doing the trick. Have i mentioned i hate being sick and that i was dealing with these same symptoms just a few months back, as in january.

I managed to pull myself together enough to spend time with emily and krissi.

We had dinner at taco surf and then went to the cerritos mall to look for a necklace. 

It was a wonderful and entertaining time. We all have fun no matter what we end up doing-its great to have wonderful friends.

The best part about tomorrow.....

I don't have friday class, so spring break can officially begin.

(67) Recovery

I woke up this morning feeling much better than yesterday but definitely not running at 100%

I took some daytime cold and flu medicine and that held me over for a little while.

I nearly fell asleep during my first class.

I continued my soup and tea regimen and it kept me going until i could get home and rest.

I spent my afternoon and evening laying down napping or sitting in my usual spot vegging in front of the tv. As great as this is, it's not very productive.

Around 8, Emily came over and we headed to target where we bought baby shower gifts. There is so much cute baby stuff out there.

While at target i also stocked up on real cold fighting stuff. i bought day time cold and cough medicine and night time robitussin. I have got to kick this ongoing virus to the curb. I cannot stand to be sick any longer.

Note: if any of this is not clear, i blame it on the nighttime cold medicine.

P.S. IF YOU NEED A GOOD LAUGH, YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS

(the girls in the green shamrock shirts are my cousin's twin daughters)

How Do You Get To God? from FCCHB on Vimeo.
Umm my favorite part is around 42 seconds.
"see my leprechaun"
i couldn't stop laughing the first time i watched it.
I hope you enjoyed this as much, if not more, as i did.

(66) Sick Day

I woke up this morning an hour later than normal. I slept through my alarm. This NEVER happens. Clearly there was something wrong. I felt so sick this morning. My throat hurt, my body ached, and i was still so tired. I chose to skip my first class but not to miss my 2 o'clock class.

I made myself some tea and curled up in a blanket.

I watched some morning television and fell asleep off and on from 8-1. I was supposed to leave for the bus at 12:40. That didn't happen and i felt so sick i didn't even care that i was missing class. (oh yeah, i also never miss class. It takes a lot for me to not go) 

I was supposed to work today at 5:30 but i couldn't do that either. Called in sick this morning and tried to get someone to cover my shift.

So my day has been spent sleeping, drowning myself in tea, and eating soup. 

I sure hope i wake up feeling better tomorrow.

I can't deal with missing two days of classes.

(40) Not Again

So i think i am sick yet again.

This morning my ears hurt and i just felt funny.

I was barely with it in my 9:30 class. It was hard to hold my head up. I just stared at my paper and doodled while my teacher spoke. At least i was awake enough to keep up with the notes.

I went to the lounge and couldn't keep my eyes open.

Then i went to the career development center to work on an assignment and felt so crummy.

I ate lunch and started feeling a little better.

I studied for my test that i had at two. Then went to class and felt fine. 

I came home and was feeling ok but tired.

By 5pm i was asleep on the couch. I woke up briefly off and on and didn't fully wake up until 8pm. I was having the weirdest dreams too. 

My cough started up sometime after 8. My mom looks at me and says "are you sick? You don't look very good....I mean you're cute as a bug but.." My response was a sarcastic "thanks," and then i started thinking about how bugs aren't even cute. I've never really understood that saying.
