Punctuated sleep

Yesterday morning I got on a bus early and went to school and took my last final of the term! I was able to sell a lot of books back and now I have enough money to refill a prescription and take my brother out for his birthday! Good stuff.

I'm in the middle of a sort of mixed blessing situation. Since hiking around Thursday and spending time on so many busses, the pain is really, really bad. And now I am sick! Not quite sure what is wrong with me and it totally sucks that the LCC Clinic is closed for spring break. I've had a 100 degree fever and I have this deep lung cough and everything hurts, especially my head. And when I got off the bus yesterday I puked right in front of it! I was so, so, so embarassed - like junior high embarrased. But then I started coughing and weezing while puking and I aspirated some of it and couldn't breath and the embarassment was replaced by panic.

But then I came home and after doing some things I slept! Oh how I slept. I would wake up every couple of hours, but I would soon go back to sleep. At one point I woke up and my brother was watching The Wedding Singer and there was no way I couldn't not watch it with him. But I will soon be back to sleep. It is so wonderful!

I have lots to do in the next few days. I have a writing assignment for my new little job. I have a friend's book to edit. I need to repair my room from the mess created on that yucky day reported on the last post.

But if I can sleep, man oh man, I am going to sleep. Hells yes.

  1. I'm so sorry about the public puking! I've done it (when I'm pregnant) and you're right about the Jr. High Embarassment! It's awful.

    And I'm sorry you're sick! I swear when a semester is over and your body relaxes the germs attack! It always happened to me and David too!

    And sleep!!! I forgot my laptop this week so I'm taking a break from writing too! :(

    Feel Better!

  2. I think you could write a book called "Everybody Pukes". You have spent so much time doing it!

    And your stories have helped me feel better. Like the first time I puked so hard I peed and then had to take a shower. I just didn't feel alone and like a total freak.

    It's so nice to have someone like you!

  4. Oh, no! I'm sorry to say this and I'm sorry this is the casse, but your horror puking stories always make me feel better. I'm sorry you have to go through it! But I always feel like I'm not some freak and that it could be so much worse. I get feeling pretty normal after what I hear you go through!
