I'm sick, I whine.

I hate being sick. I hate being sick for quite a number of reasons, but since moving to Michigan and getting sick on a regular basis, I must say that my number one reason I hate being sick is...having to take care of myself alone. I never feel more alone than I do when I'm sick. The least fun thing in the world is to wake up in the middle of the night with a fever while basically hyperventilating because I'm having a hard time breathing through my messed up throat and have to figure it all out myself. And though it seems like it would be nice to be lounging around at home watching tv and reading all day, it is actually pretty awful since I have no voice so I can't talk on the phone, and work keeps calling me regardless because there are things that need to be done that can't be bothered by me being incapacitated. I currently have a mix of bronchitis and a sinus infection, which is actually the sickest I've been since moving to Michigan. I went to the doctor and she prescribed me some expensive meds, which are helping thank goodness. We also talked about the fact that I've gotten sick here a lot more than I ever did in Colorado, and she basically told me that I probably have allergies that don't get along with Michigan, and if I don't start naturally getting better and stop getting sick as often, I may need to be allergy tested and start getting allergy shots regularly, or find a better place to live heh. Seems like Michigan is really trying its hardest to get rid of me. This means I don't get to go to the Pistons playoff game tonight. But that's ok because instead I get to sit here all by myself and entertain Loki for the weekend. Oh and I can't drive because of the Codeine in the medicine. So I'm living off of whatever I can find in the cupboards...which is not much since I'm at grocery shopping time.

Mmm yummy baked beans and tomato paste...
