. . .a friend who knows that you just need to get out of your prison for a few hours, but bails on you anyway because she just doesn't feel like it, even though you've hauled yourself out for her even when you don't feel well, or you're soaked from the pouring rain, or you're at football and their friend spills their beer all the fuck over you and ( Read more... )

Facing having my cable turned off, because they wouldn't give me an extention till TOMORROW.  I forgot there'd be no mail today, for Veteran's Day.  So I'll get my paycheck tomorrow, and pay the other half of the bill, hopefully I'll have service up and running again by tomorrow afternoon.  Of course, it won't matter that much, because it's looking ( Read more... )

I'm finally getting over being sick, thank goodness.  My temperature's been hovering around normal for about two days now, and today, for the first time, I was actually hungry.  And it didn't even hurt to take my pills!  I tried to work on Tuesday, but needed eleanor to come and get me, because I wasn't ready and was still to sick and weak to be ( Read more... )

After a rough morning of high temperatures again, my fever is finally down again and I'm feeling more human.  I even managed an English Muffin with jam, which is saying something considering I can't really talk without wanting to cry.  My throat still hurts like a bitch, though, making eating, drinking, talking, laughing, even yawning hurt like ( Read more... )

I think my fever's finally broken!  Mama eleanor came up to Queens today to bring me Gatorade and keep me company.  She also brought me Tylenol, since the ibuprofin I was taking didn't seem to be helping me at all.  After much fluxuation in my temperature, and a scary climb to 103.5 last night, my temperature at about 4pm was 98.6!  I'm attempting ( Read more... )

My fever right now is back up to 101.4, up from 100.3.  Bought throat spray, which isn't helping much, but I managed to get my second dose of antibiotics down (it HURT!) and to eat half a pint of wonton soup.  I went out to the store to buy more soup and to get some popsicles, but forgot to get milk for tea or juice.

Now I'm going to go back to ( Read more... )

Doctor at the walk-in clinic said I have a strep-like infection, and proceeded to give me a perscription for horsepill antibiotics, to be taken two pills per dose twice a day..  He also gave me a perscription for laticane, to make my throat feel better, but I decided that I couldn't afford it ($140 for antibiotics!  I need to work for a drug ( Read more... )

Just looked at the calendar and realised something.  Thanksgiving this year is also the 14th anniversary of my dad dying.

Makes a hard day even harder. 

This is my cousin Phyllis's movie!

( And here are some reviews she sent us! )

Last night, after I got home from running all my errands (including a quick stop to pick up something from a friend at 9, thereby missing CSI and ER), I was too cold for words.  I shut all the windows, put on my flannel jammies, wrapped a flannel robe around my legs, and took my temperature.  I knew I'd had a fever all day, I was too cold and achy ( Read more... )
