Sick, sick, sick.

So this October/November, I have come to the conclusion that my body hates me. I'd hate me too if I pulled 16 hour days of work, studying, and everything else in between. But seriously that is the life I live and I cannot really change that.

Another contributor to the increase in illnesses is the constant change of weather. At the beginning of October it cooled down to a couple days so I was wearing my UGGs and sweaters again. Then out of nowhere it was heat wave weather and I was in a dress or shorts. And now it's getting chilly again so I must once again pull out those UGGs.

Since the October, I've gotten sick three times. And I think this time around is the king of all sicknesses. Yesterday, after school and mandatory freshman advising I drove back to Glendale to tutor the kids I tutor a couple times a week. While tutoring I started feeling really ill, you know coughing [more than I usually do] and it was more phlegm-ier and feeling like my blood was freezing down to my bones. I went home, ate dinner, took medicine and tried to go to sleep. I ended up spending the whole night tossing and turning and I tried to go to my mom's room to sleep with her but the door was locked. So finally around 5 AM I couldn't take it anymore and started knocking on the door. She finally let me in and I felt a little better. You know that feeling? Like everything is alright because your mommy's going to take care of you? Yeah, that. So she made me eat breakfast and gave me all these medications to take and I was like yeah, okay not even paying attention to them you know because she's a nurse she knows what she's doing. I felt all loopy and stuff, but I finally did get to sleep which was good.

It's about 5 PM now, and I spent most of the day sleeping and a part of the day sending delerious text messages to my friends. I'm slowly recovering and hoping and praying that this is the last of my round of sickness. Because really its thrown off my schedule a lot. I've had to give away shifts to people at work when I really needed them. Make up midterm, tests, and essays. I still have one more to make up. It's just been so difficult. Hopefully, I'll be back 100% by next week.

If there's anything I learned from this whole ordeal its that don't stress your body too much. You can't always do everything you wanna do so you gotta make sacrifices in order to stay healthy. Listen to your body, if you're aching and getting drowsy, take a nap. Don't think you need to take on everything at once.

So that's the end of my little rant about sickness. I shall go get some rest of this stupid cough stops long enough to let me fall asleep. Hope everyone is well and not sick as a dog like me.
