Sickness

Hi everyone!

Don't you just hate being sick? That feeling of where you aren't hungry, just want to sleep, and do absolutely nothing? Yeah, guess what? I have had that feeling this week.

This week was supposed to be great. On Thursday, I was going to go to St. Louis with our Drama Club to go see a Broadway production of West Side Story in this gorgeous theatre. I have been looking forward to it for a month! And of all the nights to start feeling sick, I choose Wednesday night, the night before the St. Louis trip. I was so mad. I had a temperture, so there was no way I could go the next day.

I cried for the longest time. I was so looking forward to going! All of my friends were going, and we were all going to have a great time. I begged my parents to let me go, but of course they didn't let me go, because I was obviously really sick. I had a high temperture, chills, my face was red, my throat hurt, etc. So, I just had to face it, I wasn't going to St. Louis on Thursday.

I didn't sleep very well at all that night, which surprised me. I was on so many medications for headaches and allergies, I  figured I would sleep through the night. That, of course, didnt happen. I was wondering who I had gotten it from. First, I didnt know what I had. I knew there were a lot of kids sick at school. Some with the flu, even some with mono. I knew I felt awful, so who knows? I had also been out of town recently, so I could have gotten it from where I went. I just had way to much on my mind, plus I had a huge migrane. Worst. Night. Ever.

I slept through the day yesterday, and when I wasnt sleeping, I was wondering what my friends were doing. What I should have been doing. I haven't gotten sick in five years. Why did I have to get sick then? My temperture jumped around that whole day, so I knew I wouldn't be going to school today either. I don't really care. It gives me a four day weekend, I guess you could say. Yay me. Not really.

When I woke up this morning, my throat hurt really bad and it was really red. My dad took me to the doctor and it was decided that I had a throat infection and that I would be put on medicine for 10 days. So, I have nothing to do. So, I am spending my day doing homework. Yeah, a break from school is nice, but having a throat infection definitely is not.

It is flu season, so everyone needs to stay healthy and wash their hands all the time and use hand sanitizers too. I don't do that as much as I should and I regret it now. Hopefully by next week, I will be back to normal and feel great.

Stay healthy!

Love,

Me <3
