For the past 6 days I have been suffering from the most random illness. I didn't even feel it coming on. I just woke up one morning and BOOM!!! There it was. But this is kinda how it went down:

Day One: MISDIAGNOSIS. I had been cleaning up my room at my mom's house and inhaled a lot of dust. So when I woke up the next morning...I thought it was allergies because of all the dust I had come in contact with.

Day Two: FULL BLOWN SICKNESS. I could not get out of bed. My body had completely shut down on me. I pretty much slept all day except when I went to the store to get some soup.

Day Three: CAN'T KEEP FOOD DOWN. I really had no appetite. So when I finally ate something at around 7:00 it was a surprise to me that I threw it back up. I tried eating something else...threw it back up. It seemed that the food I ate would rather spend time with my sink and toilet bowl than providing me with nourishment. So I didn't eat.

Day Four: PRESCRIBED FUN. By this day I was hoping that I would be on the downside of my symptoms because I was going out for my sister and best friend's belated birthday celebration. I woke up, got ready for church, went to Target to get thera-flu, vapo-rub, and cough drops. Made the Thera-flu before going to church. Halfway through the service, I went to my car to go to sleep. Once again, I couldn't keep food down. I had not eaten all day, which mean my night would consist of no alcohol...[sad face]. But I decided to indulge in a blended margarita. (I would pay for it later)

Day Five: MUSCULAR DISCOMFORT. I woke up feeling better. I wasn't hacking my lungs out. The sinus pressure in my nose was wearing down to the point where I was able to breathe out of both nostrils...not fully but just enough. Then...I coughed. I went into shock because from shoulder blade to shoulder blade down to right beneath the breast bone was complete with pain. Mind you...I had to go back to work today. By the time I got to work, I began to feel worse. And its harder dealing with a class full of third graders when you're not your complete self.

Day Six: ??? We'll see what the day brings.
