Still MIA

So, slowly but surely I'm getting healthier. My body is sure taking its precious time. I'm going to spare you any details, and I don't want to disclose any of it on the internet. Hopefully soon it will get better. And I have to give props to Cory for not laughing at me through all of this, instead, being there for me and helping me with whatever I need. And my kittens, especially Lovin' Spoonful, have never left my side.

But this sickness has taught me some stuff. Usually when I'm sick is when I actually listen to what I'm being taught because I don't want to go through it again. My plan is to eat a salad once a day, and lots more water. I've been really good with the water. I've drank about 64 oz today, along with some Gatoraid. Tomorrow after class I'll go buy some salad and some dressing. I think that I should pretty much always be able to do it for lunch. Maybe, my hopes, will also help me lose some weight. I do like my body the way it is, but I also know it's not healthy. I'm not terribly overweight, and with my height, you don't tell how bad it is. Hopefully all of this will work with me.

You know what I love about being sick. No, not having to go to school. Actually, that's what I hate the most because I hate being behind. And in college the teachers don't pity you. It just makes you less of a good student. I love taking a shower. I feel like I'm washing off the sickness. Especially my face. I've always had a small problem with acne. It used to be a lot worse, but as I've gotten older and learned to take care of my skin, it's gotten better. Little bits of it have always stayed though. So whenever I'm sick and don't have the energy to shower as regularly as I normally do, washing my face just feels perfect. Feeling my pores flushed with clean water and having all that gunk washer out of it, it's a feeling that nothing else compares to. Shaving, too, is another great feeling. I don't know why, but those are little things that just make me feel better, even if I'm not.

Another thing I like is that I can catch up on movies and TV shows. I've been able to watch "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Bucket List," two movies I've never seen, along with many others I've seen many times. I've also almost completed the "Sailor Moon S" series and then all I'll have left is "Sailor Moon Supers" and "Sailor Stars." I can't wait. I feel a little nerdy trying to figure it all out and how I get annoyed and stuff, but I've done really good at not peaking ahead or looking up on the internet what happens next. I've very proud of myself.

Well, I'm sorry my sick life isn't as entertaining as what normally goes on, but when all you do is sleep 85% of the time, not much goes on. Maybe there will be more tomorrow, or later in the week as I hopefully get better.
