Disease Run Amuck

Ok, so Monday everyone comes to school sick except for me, Chad, and a few others. Marilea goes home because the sickness is too much. Lizz, on the other hand, has her fun by trying to purposefully give me the disease she acquired from Marilea. Nice huh? So Monday night at rehearsals, Clint's not feeling too great and whaddaya know when Tuesday comes around again and he's super sickly, along with his brother. They aren't at school and neither is Lizz. Marilea was back, but not sounding too hot herself, so at lunch I left with the initial intention of going to get my paswsport stuff taken care of with my mother.....which I did accomplish before the disease I presently am acting host to set in, thank God. Clint and his brother went to the doctor and hmm...magically they have the flu. But wait, Mono is running rampid around school too, along with strep throat? So, let me get this straight: Mono, the flu, strep throat, and some unknown random virus that's a mild combination of the three are all being spread throughout my center of learning, my friends, and the people I'm closest too. Right. So, I stayed home Wednesday cuz I wasn't feeling too great myself and went to my doctor's appointment. Turns out I need pysical therapy 2-3 times a week for my shoulder ("Something's just not right" they say....) and I have a virus....but not just any virus. No, that'd be too easy. No, I've got the combination virus......the fever, soreness, dizzy, fatigued, coughing, congested, let-me-go-throw-up virus. Ugh.....I feel like I'm going through menopause because one second I'm freezing my ass off and the next I just want to sit in front of the freezer. That can't be good. I sit under a blanket for hours with the heat on high and yet my hands and feet are like ice? Doesn't make any sense. Funny thing was that I didn't get the fever until after the doctor told me "I wouldn't worry too much about it being contagious, unless of course you get a fever within the next twelve hours or so..."......oh the irony. I'm missing a lot at school and I don't even have any of my books with me. I can't see anyone, not even Clint who has what I have....which him and his brother have so graciously given to their parents as well. I have 2 houses to do tomorrow for work and Saturday is my anniversary. I was going to dress up and get to have a real sit-down dinner, not anymore though. No, my ass is probably going to be sitting right here on this very couch, coughing up a lung in my sleep so that I'll be tossing and turning all night to horrible nightmares and be able to feel even more miserable than I already do. How's that for your daily dose of despair? Ugh....make it all go away! I have to work tomorrow, I just have to! I felt so horrible not working last Thursday because of that damn Summit which I didn't do ANYTHING at except escort the other Clint around looking for a key to his handcuffs! I have to work....I just have to.....I need the cash, I need the work, and I need to be able to have a real dinner-date anniversary for ONCE. Who am I kidding.....My anniversary will just be as forgotten as all the others. Then next Tuesday I'll go physical therapy, missing even MORE school...followed by Friday night which I will be tutored on my math skills for the ACT Saturday that I have to go take alone at Fair..........then I get to start learning French, oh yay. It will never end. Chad, if you're reading this, now is the perfect time for that one all-encompassing pill: F**ck It All.....so could ya share one????
