*cough* *cough*
On three....everyone feel sorry for me. 1...2....I'm getting over the flu. Yesterday, I was running a temperature of 102. I've never had a fever before, so this bug sure was a doozy. I don't usually get hit this hard. I've never had a migraine headache before, and now I know why, its awful!!! It's like there's this little man inside your skull and his sole purpose for two days is to pound your skull into pudding. Actually all of us were sick, and running pretty high temperatures. Marky got up to 104 before Mom decided that was high enough and dunked him in a tub of cold water. You should hear him parading around the house now that its over and done with, like a fox with two fat pullets in his mouth.
(Glancing at the thermometer that's sticking out of my mouth.)
"102, huh? Not too shabby, but that's nothing...I got up to 104." He waggles his eyebrows at me, pats me sympathetically....and goes off to give some other poor sufferer grief.
Dad is really scared that he'll catch it....It's pretty funny. I didn't think it was possible to eat so much garlic and not wilt everything around you. (For the record, we've been trying to steer clear of Dad just in case.) If he does catch it after all, I will have lost all faith in the healing powers of garlic.
I discovered something new while I was sick. Advil does nothing to relieve pain....neither does Tylenol. (The commercials lie.) I was just desperate enough to try Motrin, but Mom didn't let me because I refused to eat anything. In the end, NyQuil saved my life. For two days all I had was 5 doses of NyQuil, vanilla ice-cream(Breyers), and blueberries. It worked like a charm.
I got my Chspe results today. Naturally, I flunked Math, that came as no surprise at all. I passed my Writing Test with a 5.0 score, which nearly made up for my failing Math. And, I was a little surprised that I passed reading as well...that was great because I didn't really read through a lot of the questions before I answered them. Now I'm looking forward to taking it again in two months. :P Lord willing, I won't fail again.
Well, I'm getting dizzy again, so adieu, fair reader, adieu.
