Down and out for the count…

After a week of watching everyone I work with get sick, pumping up the Vitamin C, and trying my darndest to trick my mind into thinking I was super healthy, I finally got sick. And let me tell you…this ain’t fun.

I feel like we always take our bodies for granted when we are healthy. I get used to how it feels when I can breathe through my nose. I ignore the fact that my body stays comfortable in one temperature. I forget what it’s like when I don’t want to be in bed all day.

Lord, help me. I really want to be healthy for the weekend. I NEED TO KICK THIS THING IN THE BUTT.

Colds are miserable.

Looking at fashionable inspiration on Lookbook…

And looking at tons of pictures of red hair…I’m weird.

Insomnia

I don’t know what it is about being home, but I just can’t stick to a solid sleeping pattern. I barely slept last night and I worked my entire morning and afternoon away. I was out and about ‘til around 11 PM. I am still not tired though. It’s getting annoying. I watched 5 episodes of season 4 Weeds. I made oatmeal. I was in bed for the past 2 hours. I even had the lights off for a bit. Nothing is working.

So frustrating. Luckily I have the whole day off but I would rather not sleep it away.

I wish I had someone to share this with…maybe it’d be easier to sleep if I wasn’t alone.

Four Eyes

So, I've been stuck with glasses for a few days.
I ran out of contacts and I'm really bad with keeping up with ordering things.
So, even though I still had a pair I was using, one of them tore yesterday as I tried to clean it.
And that's okay, because I hadn't even really been wearing them.
Everyone constantly asked if I was stoned because my eyes were so bloodshot wearing them...they must have had a tear in them for a while.
I'm hoping to get a spare pair as I wait for my boxes...especially because, in less than a week, I have Commencement Ball...which I totally keep forgetting about, probably because I'm wearing an old dress and I don't have a date.
