The Gory Details

It's March 1st, and I can't remember the last time I was this sick. Maybe when I had mono? Or maybe during my first year of college, when I had the same thing? Anyway, I've been bed-ridden almost the entire weekend, vacating my room occasionally to go to the bathroom or venture to the kitchen to make food. What's weird is I was feeling a lot better on Friday, but then at some point yesterday, I just crashed and couldn't stop coughing and my nose started getting really stuffed up and that was the end of that. To make matters worse, I have all this work to do, but virtually no energy, and my gums have been bleeding a lot (I've been using special mouthwash to quell this, so I'm waiting for that to start working; I'm pretty sure all the bacteria swimming around my mouth crawled into the crevices and stayed there), and basically I feel like my body's in bits. I just want to feel like myself again, and not like a zombie that sleeps for 10-13 hours a night.

It's March 1st, which means I will probably know about whether or not I got into Trinity within the next 4 weeks. And it's March 1st, which means I've now 2.5 months until I graduate from college. I'm nervous about both of these things, for completely different reasons, but I'm trying to breathe and maintain focus.

One day at a time...that's all I can really do.
