Ramblings of a Sick One

So, with the change of weather that's been coming... especially a fluctuating one that can't decide if it should be winter or fall... I was expecting to get sick soon.

Yup, only a matter of time...

Add some lack of rest from being so busy... then it actually becomes a surprise that it's taken this long.

But, now... I lay here in my bed knowing the inevitable sickness is lingering above me.

My throat feels a bit scratchy... and I have to keep clearing my throat.

I will wake up with phlegm... and maybe a nasty cough... BLARGH!

I tried taking some meds now... since I know it's coming no matter what now. I can only hope that it'll be enough to fight it somewhat.

But, unfortunately the most important thing I need... is the one thing I can't do.

I need to rest and take it easy, but of course I'll be getting sick on my crazy long week. A week of which I've never experienced before. The only rest I'll be getting besides sleep... is the hour or two between working and my evening activities... and then the hour or two after finishing up.

Today... I had one of my part time jobs. Tomorrow I have Japanese class and have to really brush up on my Japanese studying with my test coming in less than a month. Wednesday I have the same part time job. Thursday I have my other part time job. Friday I have Japanese speech practice... I basically have about a month to brush up on that too. Then, this week is a special week... I get to work on Saturday... oh joys of all joy!

It's my school's culture festival... and I am excited about it... especially since I am scheduled to participate in the Taiko event with my sixth graders. But, hopefully my sickness won't get in the way of it... and hopefully I'll be able to get in some more practicing.

Man my body... I felt it all day. I literally gave up... and that's probably why this sickness had the opportunity to take advantage and creep in. I wasn't sleepy... but, today... I just had a hard time being all genki and happy.

I fear for this week... I spent Monday all drained and energy-less... but that was before the hectic week even started. I wonder how I'm going to be come Sunday... after this week from hell.

Oh well, I should look into the bright side and take pleasure in knowing that one day is in the past already...

If not... I can expect to be sick and gloomy all week. I believe that part of the battle of fighting an illness is being positive... so, let's do it!
