Sicky.

This hot toddy is missing one key element...and it's not the lemon...and it's not the honey...

I woke up on Tuesday and felt like I'd just been hit by a truck. I need to stop making statements like "I don't get in car wrecks" or "I don't get sick" because it never fails, within a week what happens? I get in a car wreck (which happened within one week of me making the "I've never been in a wreck" statement) and within a week of me saying to my roomies "I haven't been sick in YEARS" I contract the worst ailment I think I've had since college, which was about 6 years ago.......I've been out of college for six years......::blank stare::

::shaking head::....re-homing.

Getting sick makes you real religious. I've been praying constantly these last three days. You know that scripture "We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans."....yea....the Spirit was definitly groaning on my behalf on Tuesday and Wednesday because there were indeed NO words for the pathetic-ness I endured. (<----yes, I made that word up) I....couldn't....move... My head was pounding for TWO DAYS STRAIGHT, it was painful to move my body because I was so achy, yet it was uncomfortable to stay still because my body was aching, I was coughing like crazy, although it wasn't a cold because I wasn't congested, I couldn't eat anything because I was nauseous, dehydrated, and to make matters worse, the fever TOTALLY sweated out my hair which I only pressed two days prior. TICKED. >:(  Well really, the hair was the least of my concerns, but now that I have to go back to work tomorrow, it's just become a concern. :-/

Kaleb did what the good fiance's supposed to do and brought me over some chicken noodle soup, meds, and gallons and gallons of gaterade. Apparently Kaleb thinks he has the super duper immune system because he kept on hugging me and everytime he would he'd exclaim "You're so skinny!!!!" ::insert pause::......yea.....lol...that man....I think it was his way of building me up...maybe? lol...This was by far THE worst Kaleb has ever seen me. I had to have looked a complete sloppy, no showering, gross as all getout, MESS... but I was so sick I didn't have time to be even halfway insecure about it. And I figured, this is my future husband, we only go forward from here. What a relief.

This ailment wouldn't have been so bad if the symptoms didn't change everyday. Consistency people. I can deal with CONSISTENCY. But dude, the symptoms I had on Wednesday were completely different from what I had on Tuesday, and what I had today was completely different from what I had the previous days. You can't even judge if you're getting better when this happens. Thankfully, even though I'm still experiencing symptoms today, they're considerably less than what I went through these last couple days...Back to work tomorrow. Even though I'm coughing like an old lady....with emphysema.
