Man, what a slacker I am. It's been almost a week since I've put a blog post up. However, I'm am fully prepared with a legitimate excuse which I hope those of you who had been asking why I hadn't put one up in a while will understand. (wow, that was a long sentance...)
I've been pretty sick with Bronchitis. It's super lame. It's given me
plenty of annoying symptoms, and I have a few others that don't come with it, yet I'm guessing are related. The two biggest are that I have this really bad dry cough in my lower throat that won't go away (hence the annoyance) and it helps maintain this six day migraine that I've had that ALSO won't go away. Other syptoms include morning dizzyness, upset stomach (well, more just like a weird feeling, not to the point of blowing chunks), no appetite (I've lost 9 pounds!! Woo!!), body aches, general constant exhaustion, and the inability to sleep. Yeah...it sucks. We didn't even know what it was until we finally went to the doctor yesterday and he told us. Our ideas before ranged from as little as a cold to as far reaching as the swine flu and male menopause (THANK GOODNESS!!). The trip to the doctor was very interesting too. On my way there, I discovered that chewing gum was more effective at supressing my cough than the cough drops were. Go figure....Also, I was surprised to find that I had a fever of 101. I thought I had a long enough list of symptoms already to make some people think I was making it up or somthing, then I get there and they add two or three more! Weird...

Weird...The down side is that unless it gets worse in the next week, I don't get any medicine, the doctor just told me to trust in my immune system....*sigh* So now I just take two Extra Strength Excedrine Migraine and a Melatonin (it's a natural herb that helps you sleep) before bed, and that usually works. The whole day is like a roller coaster though. My symptoms come and go as they please, and I never know which one is going to stop by for a visit. (you'd think they'd give a bit of a notice or something. How rude....)
So here's hoping that I get better soon. I didn't mean this blog to be one generally for complaining, it's just fun to see what I was going through on paper (electronic paper, that is...), and to basically get caught up on everything. I should have a topic going tomorrow.
Also, in my absence from my blog, I've been able to formulate some good ideas for future blogs. Such ideas include "Spiderman, My Hero", "Like? or Lust?", "Drama, Is it REALLY Necessary?", "My Most Embarassing Moment". So here's to hoping that they actually get posted.
I like the sound of "Drama, Is it REALLY Necessary?"
