i haven't made a real entry in a few days because i have nothing to talk about besides my sickness but i feel i'm ready to give in and let you all know just how it's been. the first few days were the fever days, and i spent every evening calling my mom with my cell phone from downstairs and quietly moaning into the phone for her to come fix me. she tried her best, wiping the pathetic tears from my eyes and pressing cold compresses onto my forehead but nothing really helped. i was too uncomfortable to sleep but the lights made me crazy so i just lay in the dark for days on end. finally tuesday night i was able to fall asleep and slept for 12 hours. last night i slept another 10. my fever has given way to coughing fits and utter exhaustion not to mention constant nausea. i managed to spend the first two days in bed but tuesday i had a test at school (i got an A!) and last night was my best friend's birthday dinner which i managed to drag myself to. today i got tattooed for 3 hours and although i know i'm starting to get a bit better, i can only hope none of the people i've encountered in the last few days will get this sickness because as we all know, it's horrific. i hope tonight holds another good sleep and tomorrow a much better feeling day.
