Is there someone conspiring against me? Must I be sick every Saturday? Ugh. I am running a fever, I think, though I’m not sure because I don’t have a thermometer. But I’m having hot and cold flashes (currently, I’m burning up), and everything aches, even my eyelids. Mom says it’s probably the flu. So let’s count: in the four weeks since I’ve been back at school, I’ve had food poisoning, a week-long head cold, and now the flu.
This is the first time I’ve been up all day. I woke up at 7:30 a.m….went back to sleep. Woke up at 12:30 p.m….took some Advil, went back to sleep. Woke up at 4:00 p.m….called Emily to tell her I won’t be making it over to Susan’s house tonight to watch movies, called my mom to whine about being sick (moms are great for that…I love Mom), and now I must force myself to venture to Safeway, because I’m almost out of Advil, I have no more Tylenol PM, no Sudafed, no nothing. Also, I have no Gatorade, no orange juice, no chicken soup. Here I go.
