Home Sick @ MindSay

So I went to school this morning and I wasn't really feeling too well...I left almost right after first period started. I threw up...Gross!!! As soon as I got home I went to bed and just laid there for like an hour and finally fell asleep. Two ppl called me at lunch asking where I was...I love them both. Thanks for caring. They woke my up though, but I guess it is ok I can't sleep all day.

I miss seeing all my friends...and I miss Eric. He gave me a big hug this morning...right after I said no one will hug me while I am sick. I don't want to get anyone else sick...but he hugged me anyway and he gave me a lil kiss.

I am so freaking bored right now. I went through some of the books I have at my house and I read Horton Hears A Who and then I read a Seuss book that has like fived different Seuss stories in it. IDK..

I think I am going to go back to sleep now. I am still feeling icky and tired...My sister has fallen back to sleep now.

Have a good day evening night which ever it is when you read this...Bye bye bye...

 

Well where are we?  I'm not getting divorced. The toe is still broken, but I'm off the crutches.  Kid is still recovering, but better than he was.  Most of the snow has melted.  Had a really good hamburger today.  Am wearing my favorite pair of green argyle socks.  Got the latest book from my favorite author (a sequel to one of my favorite books!), although I'm still 1/2 way through with a good library book that must be finished first.  We were able to get out of the house today for lunch a quick trip to the mall (kid got a new tool box, now he's "fixing" everything) and got my watch battery repaired.  I've got a quilt to finish up and work work that I've been putting off.  And Survivor returns tonight, always fun.  I love Thursday night TV.  And thank goodness for wireless internet connections, because I've been able to enjoy the warmth of my bed and laptop these past few days.  Tomorrow I get to go back to work - if even for a few hours before the weekend.

I'm home today with a sick Beatle Bug.  After we got up, made breakfast and lunch, got all the bags packed for school and work, I realized that the boy was feeling warm.  He had a slight cough - mostly coughing up some junk resulting from a stuffy nose.  So after wrestling with two thermometers and getting a normal reading, I still had an uneasy feeling as we were bundling up in coats to brave the super cold windy weather outside.  (As I type, we have a windchill of 2 degrees Fahrenheit).  I convinced him to let me take his temp one more time, and sure enough, once I got the cover on right, it was in the mid-99s.  Enough that he felt a little run down and that I knew the daycare center would call to pick him up if I sent him in.  (Of course as soon as I told him he was staying home, he seemed to perk up.)

Since we were already bundled up, we headed downtown to my office so I could pick up some homework. I asked him in the car if he was going to be my helper monkey, and got an emphatic "Yes!".  He entertained my colleagues with a lovely rendition of the Beatles "Daytripper" using one of my crutches as a guitar.  One of them asked if he was being my helper monkey - that was an odd coincidence.  Then we HAD to go to Target, as per his request, because according to him "Target is where you buy the orange juice that I need."  Came home, and jumped right back into bed to watch DVDs. 

As I was telling Shiny (and this is something we say quite often), Av is so disgustingly cute.  Even when sick.  He is curled up in our bed, hoodie still on, under the covers, propped up with pillows, holding his favorite stuffed dog, three teddy bears, a monkey, his favorite blankie, Thomas, Annie, & Clarabel, and Ownie cat, watching DVDs.  So tired that it took 1-1/2 hours to finish his lunch.  Can I just say how much I love these new Triaminic cough & cold thin strips?  Although it did feel like I was giving my kid some X or putting an acid tab on his tongue, it was super easy to give him and he didn't mind at all!  Love it.

Hopefully he'll be fine to go to school tomorrow.  If not, Shiny and I already have a plan.  I of course, have been taking advantage of the down time to not get my work done, but at least I'm warm and cozy too and not on my feet.

I am afraid to say that I am now suffering from home sickness. I may return home for a weekend in the coming month. I shall have to wait and see how things develop.

So I was home today (again) because, like the dumbass I am, I gave blood yesterday. Naturally, I got sick as hell, only more so this year because I was out sick the day before. Thus, I've officially been cut off from giving blood both by Mum and the blood drive people. I finally gave in and agreed; it was all worth it, most definitely, but yesterday I had to have Aubrey drive me home I was so sick. I just can't do that. I have things I need to attend to; I couldn't even help clean up the blood drive. *sigh* So I'm done giving blood. My body just can't handle it.

Since both Hassler and I were home today, Rach came over and we decided to start calling around and look for jobs. WELL. If THAT wasn't depressing. We called almost everywhere in Corning and it was either, "We don't hire until 18," or, "We're not currently hiring." Talk about depressing. We got lucky when we called around Bath though, so we're going up there in like 10 minutes to grab some applications, fill them out, and turn them in. I know, we were home sick today, but we need jobs if we want an apartment in a year and we need to get them now. This just can't wait.

In other news... DEGRASSI PREMIERS TONIGHT! XD I'm stoked. I've got the DVR all set to record it and whatnot so I don't miss anything. I've been waiting for that damn show to premier for an age and a half. It's about fucking time.

Shit... got to take off. Hassler's here. Ta!
