Listening to: none for once
There I am laying in the nurses office on Tuesday. Wrapped in the disposable nurses blankets (yeah, i was weirded out too), shaking like I'm getting the shock treatment. Cold, hot. Cold, hot. I'm progessively feeling shittier with each second that passes. I just want to sleep. I just want to go home. I call. No one is home to get me. I'm obligated to stay in that damn nurses office until someone can come for me. All the while, I realize that the majority of the kids who visit the school nurse usually aren't sick. They are just obnoxious kids trying to get out of class. Everytime I'm close to falling asleep, one of them awake me with 'Whoooze dat gurrlll undaa all dem blanketz?!'
Yep, the flu got me again this winter. It must be drawn to my hatred for it. That, or my immune system sucks real bad.
A high fever + Mom's benadryl-based medicine she was giving me = one crazy Steph. I was a freaking psycho for the past few days. I had channel 143 on the entire duration of my illness. Channel 143 is VHI Classics. It shows old videos from the 70's and 80's. You know... a human can only take so many music videos from those crazy decades. I started losing it. I would start to fall asleep, and throw myself into Micheal Jackson's "Rock With You" video. Or I would imagine myself cuddling with Peter Frampton. I lost touch with reality for those few days spent sick in front of the TV.
It was pretty awesome though. That's the one advantage to getting the flu. Your fever gets so high that your brain can't take the heat (well, mine anyhow). The meds help that too.
The disadvantages: I still got this bastard cough, a nose that doesn't breathe, work is mad at me for calling off for 3 days, and I have no clue what is going on in school.
Well, Au Revoir my friends. Hope to write more soon.
