Just got told to go home by my manager at work, so I'm back here with a cup of hot White Orchard tea, soggy pants, and my backpack and coat hung to dry - it has been raining very consistently here since last night. Can barely speak, though thankfully the mucus buildup is only in my larynx, as I can still breathe easily enough. I'll just sit back, ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a teeny bit better (my throat still hurts, but it isn't as if I could whimper in pain each time I had to swallow like yesterday, and my body aches aren't as bad), and was a complete and total wuss at the doctor's today when they tried to swab my throat for strep. Yeah - I totally blubbered and cried like a little girl ;p >> I thankfully ( Read more... )

After a week of trying to figure out why my chest felt tight, I now know - I'm sick! Perfect timing -_-. Started getting a sore throat once I woke up today, and it's gone downhill from there. I had to get out of work early with how weak I feel (sounds familiar, dunnit?) - thank goodness I was able to do so! And, this is almost fortuitous as I now ( Read more... )

Holy crap, is it toasty here - thank goodness I've gotten comfortable enough with myself to be fine just wearing my sports bra (while in my room with no one around - yeah, still shy, even though I technically don't really have anything to be shy about) - it's nice not to be sweltering in a shirt! XD ( Read more... )

Yay, I has feather clip from Nambroth!!!! <3 <3 Her 'Cream Cascades' feather clip has cruelty-free and ethically harvested feathers, some even from her rooster Gullincambe and her hen Kua!! I am jumping all over myself in happiness right now - I may not be a gryphon or some other feathered creature, but I feel closer to them now, in an almost ( Read more... )

Today, I went to the initiation ceremony for newly registered Phi Beta Kappa members (of which I was invited to and did register for), and now I am an official member :). Supposedly one of the most prestigious honor societies in the nation, and it made me really happy to hear from the speakers that Phi Beta Kappa supports and celebrates the ( Read more... )

I stopped that medication last night, and got a good night's sleep - I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. I woke up singing today XD ( Read more... )

Well, it turns out that I did get something after all at the student art exhibition - an award for $800 to put towards either my University bill or towards supplies! That is an honor indeed! o ( Read more... )

I've been feeling like utter crap since last night, or ever since I knew I would not be finishing paintings on time for today's class. I stayed up until 5am barely working, too distracted and motor skills not at their sharpest, to wake up at 10, missing an exam for Animal Behavior, barely able to get up without falling over, confused and afraid, to ( Read more... )

Hm.. things have lessened in severity, but still there after a killer migraine on Sunday night. Lack of appetite, feeling sick at random times and after prolonged activity, dizziness/difficulty standing after prolonged activity, lowered memory, motor skills, and concentration, though not low enough for people to really notice - just enough for ( Read more... )
