Illin'

Being sick is no fun just like everybody says. Not that I didn't know or think that before, but it really is horrible.

Headache
Chills
Fever
Aching Body
Sore Throat
Coughing

It just keeps going.

This must be the longest I've been put out of commission for being sick. Two days out of school, missing a competition today, and an SAT. Fucking hell. I still feel like shit with my head spinning and hurting at the same time, but I refuse to lay around in bed anymore. The worst part of being sick and missing school has to be just seeing your mates or having your regular human contact. The second worst part must be all the stuff your going to have to make up.

Being sick is such a strange journey in that of itself. When you're asleep it seems as if years fly by only to be woken up and have to sit through agonizing pain through time that seems to have stopped. Sitting there with your head throbbing and your body shivering uncontrollably looking back at the clock thinking it's been an hour only to see that it's still the same minute.

Hallucinatory nightmares of the deep and darkest corners of your mind fueled by an unrelenting fever then waking up gasping and wheezing for breath only to cough up something from your lungs into the trashcan that can only be discernible in the dark by the foul taste that it leaves behind in your mouth. Not to mention soaking in sweat and trembling from the cold.

At least now it isn't that bad. The fever is mostly gone. My neck and back only ache a little. Chills aren't so bad anymore. The coughing is still very much there and the headache still continues to persist. Speaking of which, it might be time to crawl back in bed and give my head another rest. Wasting time like this is not the fun.


A last thought: Why does Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup taste so good? It basically tastes like hot salt water, but it still tastes so good. The world may never know.

Another thing, to all those that send their goodwill, I thank you all.
